Cattle Decapitation - The Prophets of Loss (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Order at: www.metalblade....
Cattle Decapitation "The Prophets of Loss" from "The Anthropocene Extinction." Directed by Paul McGuire for Obscenery Films.
Guitarist Josh Elmore comments: "For several years now, fans have been asking the band to release a video chronicle with live performance footage and enhanced or 'behind the scenes' documentation.
During a recent European run, our friend Paul McGuire of Obscenery Films traveled with the band and captured glimpses of what day-to-day life on the road is like for Cattle Decapitation and spoke with the members as they reflected on years of touring and what their future holds.
The result is an entertaining, humorous and informative documentary that shows the band as a live entity and also what goes on during their down time on tour; play-throughs, interviews, concert chaos, Euro-tourism and more. We hope you enjoy it!"

@@jakelamont6205 You even watched a proper recording from a concert you've been to and actually listened objectively? The recording never sounds like it did when you where there. Travis may have an amazing voice but nothing that comes out on an album from bands this big is ever unedited. Even Meshuggah's Koloss, where they recorded every single song in a single take with the entire band playing at the same time was later mixed and improved.

Late to the party on Cattle Decap... having, only recently, been introduced by a buddy to 'em. However, on hearing the last 30-40 seconds of this tune, I CAN recall having heard it before. At that time, I was very desperately trying to figure out who they were because, wherever I'd heard it, they hadn't availed me to who it was. I was very sad. Now...having finally found my lost necro-lover, we can be rejoined, once again, in unholy aural-bliss! This is, most definitely, one of the SICKEST tunes ever!

[@m.a.d.pandagaming6895]

Ok....I know they're "deathgrind"......but why is this the most pleasing black metal I've ever heard?

[@glenellisquinn]

M.A.D.PandaGaming probably because most black metal is nonsense with no production value and this incorporates the general ideas of what black metal musicians aspire to but in a more innovative and captivatingly intense blending of genres made with more advanced equipment and decades of influence guiding it

[@KevinT2553]

nāmorghūlilaros You don't get the meaning of black metal.

[@glenellisquinn]

Kevin Tiedeman i can assure you, i do. If you're referring to black metal being a fringe grassroots subgenre with anarchist or counter establishment views with something to say about politics or religion, using bad equipment (even though this was probably not an artistic choice by the pioneers) to appeal to the typically less than wealthy everyman and portraying an image of being one with death or evil or whatever they think corpse paint means to them, then yeah, that's fine, let them have their fun. I respect the early black metal folks for what they were trying to do. But you can definitely shoot for the same goals and make quality music. All I'm saying is that without people listening to often low quality blues for years, rock and roll would never have been born, and the same goes for cattle decap and black metal. It takes a village to create a band like this, and this particular village is full of edgy kids from Norway who think satan worship is cool and everything is bleak. Cattle decap can at least play their instruments.

[@KevinT2553]

nāmorghūlilaros Not all of black metal is about satan, death, politics, etc.
