Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction - Behind the Scenes

[@sdcpb77]

This entire album is incredible. It's brutal from beginning to end.

[@ghoste1138]

I remember being 16 years old, and impressionable. I pre-ordered this album, and finally getting my hands on it, it was so surreal from the album art, to the melodic blackened tones, to Travis having those haunting yet beautiful highs. Saw them in November of 2015, best night of my life. Got to shake hands with Josh (I'm a guitarist) dream come true. This band only gets better and better. Death Atlas totally crushed too. God I love this band.

[@KeatonSamuel]

How you liking the Terrasite record? Holy smoke these guys age like fine wine!

[@jesterious3188]

"reduce, reuse, recycle" best words for the album and best attitude...when only everybody would do that

[@spacep0ny958]

"Time to get" - Derek Engemann Truly inspiring words

[@SteveFusionX]

this album is incredible. I had trouble getting past the first 3 songs - as I kept starting the CD over.

[@SuperAlfonsoBros]

"Reduce, Reuse and Recycle." - Travis lmao.

[@LindenPoirier]

[@rapscallion52]

[@invadernik]

Kyle Alfonso u know what 3 words are better than them? TIME TO GET.Lol. get it? no? GOOD. XD

[@SuperAlfonsoBros]

+invadernik haha I died at that part. TIME TO GIIIT.

[@MindVersusMisery]

The Anthropocene Extinction is a genuine masterpiece. IMO by far the best album released in 2015. And it made Cattle Decapitation top my best-bands-in-the-world-list. And now I own 5 different Cattle Decapitation t-shirts to sponsor the fuck outta you. Much appreciation from Sweden.

[@RicoSeattle]

I love Travis' melodic singing. I wish he would do more of it, or do a side/solo project where he can incorporate more melody.

[@preserver7777]

Now you're talkin

[@jak3y3]

RicoSeattle I would like to know how he actually does his melodic singing. If only he’d release a tutorial

[@al-quatholicaofficial7292]

watch the documentary of their european Tour! According to Travis it's only "CLEAN .. ISH" xD not clean. But you can actually hear it as well. It's very melodic screeching almost kind'a

Dave McGraw is utterly unbelievable, fastest drummer I've every heard and his playing style is amazing

Check out nihls fehlstrom from dark funeral.

[@GoatMee]

Austin Archey of Lorna Shore is also up there.

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

only just discovered these guys on this album, they're very good musicians i have to say. Those high parts on the singing are what makes it for me

[@MetalVoid0]

I have a strong feeling it will be better than Monolith of Inhumanity. I have never been more excited for an album.

[@finowa]

Holy shit, 15:12 was exactly what I was hoping one of them would say. Good job Josh

[@TheMathMog93]

finowa Definitely something that will put your vocals to the test! lml

[@CarnalExistence]

I ,for one, would really enjoy a double-song music video for "Ave Exitium" and "Pacific Grim." Similar to what was done with "The Monolith" and "Kingdom of Tyrants." Every time I listen to those two songs it makes me think of how the two from the previous album were tied together lyrically. Something about the transition from calm and mellow into harsh and brutal just rubs me in all the right ways.

[@BassbaitGG]

Apparently this album is gonna be Monolith with beards.

[@diamondstaterecordchaser8286]

Hey baws

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

Still holds up very very well, great album. Just bought it again

[@raizencore]

Definitely a great album, musically and lyrically! I also love the artwork so much, has anyone noticed that this album also features, the slaughter house from "Harvest The Floor" and the pile of garbage from "Monolith Of Inhumanity"? This is the most amazing artwork ever!

[@Altair4000]

pacxam11 I was watching an interview yesterday with Travis. The Monolith building was meant in the album cover here. The Harvest Floor slaughterhouse, however, was completely unintentional

[@raizencore]

Saw the interview as well, mate!

[@aRoamingDuck]

This has to be one of the best Metal albums to be released since 2010. Its seriously a work of art, the vocals are so profound and the instrumental suits it perfectly

[@swanny19881]

I cannot believe that a band like this exists. I came across these guys years and years ago on KZbin when I was looking up videos on how to modify nerf guns. Even since then they have always kicked around in the back of my head. So glad I got into them. Travis has been a big influence on me learning how to push my vocals further and also just in general seeing how this band works gives me so much motivation

[@armandospidero7936]

Rapidly becomming one of the best death metal bands around. This record is amazing, no weaks spots anywhere. Can't wait for the new one in Nov.

[@HOLYW4RS]

So are we going to get a video of Travis recording vocals like they did on monolith?

[@metalvinnyofficial]

***** Nope, this is it.

[@metalvinnyofficial]

๏๏๏๏ ๏๏๏๏ Yeah, because I shot and directed this.

[@cameronharvey1192]

Vinny Edwards Excellent job on the video

[@metalvinnyofficial]

Cameron Harvey Very much appreciated. Only had 3 days to shoot and was super worried I wouldn't get enough.

[@drewjacobsracing]

Vinny Edwards Love it dude, thanx! Love this type of stuff especially since I had to walk away from the industry. And yes, Time To Get....this album in my hands! lol \m/

[@BJ-50]

I can't recall the last time I've been so excited over a new album.

[@youvegotmysong]

I am so glad that the metal-heads are noticing the message here. Cattle Decapitation is far and away the most important metal band in the world. I am sure Travis' message will come across as strongly album wide. Humans are self-aware but until we start thinking globally about our place in the biosphere we are dooming all life on the planet..including our own. #guymcphereson #clathrategunhypothesis #methanebomb #govegan

[@uncoveringthelost]

I love how nevous and humble they are about the album. It's really refreshing from the usual, "it's the best one yet". Even though we all know it's going to be amazing!

[@EmceeMayo]

He wrote the lyrics to 'Your Disposal' IN THE FUCKING STUDIO 🎙 😤 Just goes to show you that Travis Ryan truly is a gift

[@elliotterodriguez]

I love them as a band because you can tell they don't fuck around with thier work straight to the point type of people. But it doesn't take away from their personality of just being good people. Its not too serious that you hate them and its not to like how'd you say, I don't know I guess playful in a sense where you can't take them serious anymore. This the only band that I really cannot lose respect for the simple fact that they've seen it all they don't act like a bunch of teenagers at the age of around 40 even 30 or 20 years old. Like some bands there attitudes I can't take serious I know at the end of the day they mean well and its just fun. Some people don't take shit serious anymore and when you look at rock stars, let's face it its heavy brutal, sorta sinister rock but they're rock stars not the typical ones though that shine a bad light on the community that go out and get themselves killed or die of an overdose, it's kinda scumish or sleezy that you would punch in the face anyone who doesn't respect Cattle Decapitation for that is just full of horse cause we got a whole bunch of problems in the world. Why would you want to subject yourself to that just cause it isn't what the kids are doing or it isn't "popular" It's not lame at all its ethical I'm 18 and I hate my generation cause they don't have any values anymore they don't value their views on life they let everyone else's poor decisions affect them that's not what your parents taught you to be is just an average person that has no other plans then to do what their friends are doing and go on living like that I like Cattle Decapitation for setting a mold and example for what music should be in the metal community :)

[@TastmySWEETNESS]

God damn it. I had to stop it at 4:38. I vowed to not listen to any songs released for the Anthropocene for i knew that listening would make the wait for all my pre-orders that much more painful. The one part of the song leading up to 4:38 gave me a Spider-Man like ejaculation. So, sadly, this grindumentary will have to stay in my watch later til August. Can't wait to see you guys perform again in Anaheim. Travis has full permission to spit on my face if he so chooses to. Cattle Decapitation will always be my favorite band.

[@baphomick]

It's been a long time coming, the time to get.

[@wastenone6571]

Been listening to this album non-stop for the last week. so good. Looking forward to seeing you on tour in Vancouver!!!!

[@Slamadeus]

8:55 , that's the sound of death metal

[@BastardOfTheNorth]

🤣

[@alejandrocaceres1370]

I love Cattle Decapitation so much.........but, it always took me some time to shine up to them. Monolith and Anthropocene are in my top 10 for sure, but when I first listened to them I was like meh. Now they blow me away with their musicianship, complexity, brutality and overall presentation of what they do! ALL HAIL CATTLE!!!!

[@fotismonocheir1446]

wich cannibal corpse album cover is that?

[@nickFX98]

Devastator vile

[@cadebarnes2733]

I love this band! They are so awesome

[@Karmila_Lee]

In 2013 i saw the singer in a festival selling his own merch, after his own show. Cool guy, willing to take a picture with you, sign stuff and response some questions, not too many people have noticed he was the lead singer of this band.

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

Why does everyone hate on Monolith? Thats my favorite Cattle album!

[@Altair4000]

Tanner Cruse Anthropocene is probably my favorite so far, but Kingdom of Tyrants is by far my favorite song of theirs

[@spoonerluv]

It was easily their most tangible album for people. I'm sure the elitists rag on it for that.

[@venturaace5421]

monolith is their best!!!!

[@GravelordNEETo]

Nobody hates on monolith, tf are you talking about

[@bensurgeoner2675]

Why do they hate, when they dont understand?

[@timberwolvesxx7250]

my favorite from these guys. plus the artwork is top shelf

[@MastersApprentices]

So fucking excited for this album, And the DVD that comes with it with PRO-SHOT footage?! My balls are tingling.

[@ObstinateRealist]

Rhys Sadler-Price That would only be great is Dave slows the fuck down when drumming live. Almost everyone is getting annoyed by his throw off shit.

[@Enlightened_Healings]

๏๏๏๏ ๏๏๏๏ He's even better live

[@WTFisHappeningToMe]

+๏๏๏๏ ๏๏๏๏ What are you talking about? Dave is actually faster live. ALOT faster. And when I first saw them perform Mammals in Babylon before they titled and recorded it, Travis looked behind him because Dave was speeding up, not slowing down. Either way their live shows are fine.

[@Enlightened_Healings]

๏๏๏๏ ๏๏๏๏ He doesn't use a click track live like a majority of drummers these days and I think thats awesome. He still plays in perfect time with the tempo that he sets for each part, which isn't always sped up, in fact he actually plays parts slower such as the last slam in forced gender reassignment. This is an old school way of performing, suffocation does the same thing which makes every show a unique experience. They go off of whatever the energy is at that show and aren't bound by a click track. This fits cattle decapitation as a band perfectly as they are a very grindy band.

[@ObstinateRealist]

Luke Zigrossi "He still plays in perfect time with the tempo" Absolutely not, to say that is absurd. Doesn't use click tracks...So? Who cares, it doesn't change the fact that he's out pacing the other members of the band. Like I said, it's making Travis slur his words and not even finish all the lyrics. Dave is the only one doing this shit, I've even seem them talking back and forth about Dave playing too damn fast. The only valid excuse I've heard is having to play a certain speed due to show time. There's no reason to completely kiss ass, if you're a drummer, you'd know what you're talking about as well. I've been drumming for 17 years now. Don't play me...

[@BloodoperaBlackvomit]

Since it came out this might be my favorite metal album. One or two others in the race, but man, does this album pack a real fucking punch... and i'm not one to say that lightly.

[@Michael_Michaels]

This is all I need to watch right now!!! Thanks!!!

[@url4345]

After just seeing the into to this and they are saying a lot about monolith and improving on it, honestly I think it was perfect just how it was. I get they wanted to refine the positive elements more on this but i like the balance better there. It perfectly bridges the gap of old and new cattle decap and while this one is good it's like trying to make something better that's already perfect

[@mrsinator]

First caught these guys opening for GWAR back in 06 or so. Became an instant fan and they just keep getting better with time. Monolith was definitely the best album to date and I think they've matured quite a bit musically. Can't wait for the new album.
