Cattle Decapitation - Solastalgia (Official Video)

[@MindVersusMisery]

"Solastalgia is a term coined by Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2003. It describes a form of emotional or existential distress that is experienced by individuals when they witness the negative environmental changes in their home or familiar surroundings. Unlike traditional forms of nostalgia, which involve a longing for a specific time or place from the past, solastalgia is about the distress caused by the degradation of one's environment in the present. Solastalgia is often associated with the impact of environmental changes, such as deforestation, climate change, or industrial development, on a person's sense of place and well-being. It can manifest as a feeling of powerlessness, grief, and a sense of loss as the landscape or environment that once provided comfort and familiarity is altered or destroyed. It's closely linked to the broader field of ecopsychology, which explores the relationship between human psychology and the natural environment. In essence, solastalgia highlights the psychological and emotional toll that environmental degradation and change can have on individuals, especially when these changes are occurring in the places they call home. It serves as a reminder of the intricate connection between the environment and human well-being."

[@belousov3000]

So inclusive, so Charles Schwab-like total human origin destroying ideology. And so well explained. Destroy human society in sake of nature safety. Really great words but just to make cruel oligarchy more rich and powerful than ever before...

[@laurettadelmar2781]

This is so interesting to know. I love how this band focuses on these issues

Feel this way when the woods i grew up in were replaced by a factory and parking lot for semi trucks.

Feels this way when i be ripping my Jeep through a shallow creek.

[@WiredAnxiety]

This band has really evolved into something so big and beautiful. We couldn't have predicted. They should enjoy this success and can't wait to see what's more in store in the future.

[@RowdyChocolateOfficial]

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

[@andythemyconaut]

Yeah I can't stand pre 2012 cattle decapitation but omg they just keep getting better and better. Meshuggah is the same! Like a fine wine!😂

[@do_yohomework]

@@andythemyconautnope, every era is great! Pre 2012 Cattle has some great underground Goregrind, post 2012 consists of some of the best and most brutal the mainstream has to offer

[@andythemyconaut]

@do_yohomework I mean your not wrong. It's good in its own right. I'm guess not really a grind core guy, more progressive and technical death and deathcore. There newer stuff is more polished and Travis Ryan's vocals are getting better. Easy to understand the lyrics considering how brutal his guttural and screeches are. Song structures are better as well.

[@metalheads-golf]

They are awesomely brutal. Love it. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@slipknotpurity00]

I can't believe how this band keeps peaking so far into their career. They really are something.

[@twelvelookslike]

Keep getting better and better

[@zdf14]

Peak? They haven't even begun to peak.

[@eyehatericky]

@@zdf14 Haven't even begun to peak? Monolith was clearly their peak.

[@ben99687]

@@eyehaterickyMonolith is my favourite but all of their albums since that one have been incredible. Very impressive considering that was their fifth album and how long they’ve been going

[@porshatagtgren7617]

Enjoy with lyrics! Lyrics: Feast your eyes on our only future Neglected, faded and falling apart Watching the world you know disintegrate Catch fire, situation already dire Consequences now fulfilled from two centuries past Worlds behind In the rearview reflects a clear view of tomorrow Veiled, draped in sorrow Jailed, unshaped and hollow Old world has vanished Expired To our minds we are banished Inside Forever This is our world now Trapped in the self with no way out What the fuck did we do? What the fuck did we think we could prove? Life is torture Life is torture Life is torture The slowest suffering We had our hopes We fashioned our ropes From which we now swing in the breeze They didn't work We went berserk Trying in vain just to be put at ease The winds of solastalgia Blowing the embers of past transgressions Burning our faces Leaving a charred world Devoid of hope The greatest depression And our dishonorable discharge Forever recorded In our DNA we left behind For we discarded That which reminds Nigh The end of hope The solastalgia Evil nostalgia of better times The end of hope Lament together Despair forever, lose our minds The end of hope The solastalgia Evil nostalgia of better times The end of hope Lament together Despair forever, lose our minds

FANX!!!

[@nayibmc5437]

More like, cry with the lyrics

[@Ohyouwhat]

Probably the most exciting band in the industry for the last few years, long may it continue.

[@mucanan]

I’m happy that they are finally getting their well deserved recognition. I’ve been a fan since Humanure

[@paulovaldivia7632]

spotify recomend me this band like a month ago, im a metalhead so ill give them a try, atm im lovin terrasite so much, the groove, the lyrics, everything, they depict the times we are living so fken precisely. great fken band

[@CosmicKristen]

Cattle Decapitation has really captured the sound of the hopelessness and despair I’ve felt watching the nature would disappear in my lifetime. It’s such a sad and beautiful track.

[@audreylavoie7445]

Death Atlas and Terrasite are just masterpiece’s ♥️

[@SecondaryHomunculus]

Death Atlas was one of my favorite metal albums ever, but Terrasite has gone even beyond that. It's absolutely beautiful in its composition. And as a bass player of 32 years, I'm at least somewhat qualified to say that Olivier Pinard is absolutely one of the best in the business. Fucking incredible.

[@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6]

As a bass player myself, agreed!!!

[@nickrooney6206]

[@666Ranagol]

When Death Atlas came out i didnt wanted more Cattle Decap: i was thinking that anything will be worse than that album. It was that good at that time for me. I was fucking wrong. Terrasite is the new peak. And I want more and more. These guys are insane. Pioneering death metal. Its like an evolution.

[@coast.cutter7552]

Solastalgia is something I feel every day as a logger. I'm the one responsible for what I chose to do. I also felt this guilt while I watched a wildfire burn everything around my home up to my doorstep. I have my home, but I live in a barren wasteland now.

[@onezero6407]

Atleast you own it 🤙🏼

[@jmhanelineiv]

I went to school for and now work in sustainability. I hope to play a part in preventing the world from turning into this anymore than it already is. Bands like Cattle Decapitation play a MASSIVE part in inspiring me to pursue this work as well as to push through all the despair and anger which essentially boil down to: solastalgia. Thank you, Cattle Decapitation for you music, lyrics, videos, and absolutely phenomenal live shows.

[@itookallthenames]

Same, good luck in your work man

[@FraserRobertTorpy]

+ another. All we can do is keep trying.

[@charlieboone1298]

o7 Good on ya, chief. One of the better apes.

[@JUNK_ZONE]

Thanks for being one of the good ones.🤙

[@darrellerickson658]

Thank you for working to combat this. Cattle Decapitation has been a presence in my life for the last 20+ years, ( I'm 50 now) every album gets hard to listen to from a lyrical standpoint. I do everything I can on a personal level, and push in my workspace to contribute (with varying degrees of success. My girls are 15/12 and will inherit this space. The youngest is a big Cattle fan, and is sadly (?) aware of where we are.

[@Dethrojethro]

Hello, I’m the Solastalgia Critic; I remember it so you don’t have to

[@toughombre6993]

I LOVE when Travis hits you with that PURE singing yell he does. Good god the level of intensity he brings. Fckin brutally beautiful.

[@atthehaunted]

If you told me that Cattle Decap would turn into this after listening to their first album, I would have laughed at you. Yet here I am saying they are on of the best metal bands right now.

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

You and me both brother, I was listening to them in middle/highschool in like 03, I loved them then, but this is just incredible.

[@shayneswenson]

Saw them with Suffocation in 06’ I believe and while they were amazing live, their music wasn’t my thing. They’ve become absolutely exceptional in every way since though. Never could’ve imagined.

[@atthehaunted]

@@shayneswenson agreed, the progress in musicianship and vocals is out of this world.

[@SinnedToy]

I think we can all agree that Cattle Decap is one of the best modern Death Metal bands.

[@mike0near]

Oh fucking yes 😈😈😈

[@Omnivolv]

Probably the best atm IMO

[@tbfünke]

Best vocalist in the game, phenomenal instrumentalists, poignant and relevant lyrics, and face-melting live shows, they really have it all!

[@OUlawliet]

Deathgrind, really, but yes, I agree. One of the best extreme bands out right now.

[@Pushturd]

Masterpiece of an album.

Song of year on album of the year

[@curtismassarella4070]

Just listened to this song for the first time. Holy shit! This is awesome!

[@teo4925]

The last part is so touching and emotional, it makes me cry everytime I'm listening Travis sings with his "clean voice". He has this particular way to make us feel this emotion within ourselves. I just see how all the band (guitarists, bassist, drummer and Travis) just are joined to make this amazing touching sounds into the gutural way with a beautiful end. It's just incredible! And it's not only this song, there's a lot of songs of them like this one. Great band! It's simple, I just love them!

[@zachal-ghamdi7274]

The look on Travis' face when he says "the greatest depression" sent me chills like he's frightened and uneasy of what we become

[@JeffSmith-pj7rm]

he feels that shit

[@SlowlyLazily]

That last scene is art.

[@Rafooky92]

Love Travis' theatrics. His expressions and demeanor is so engrossed with the music.

[@osiris829]

Cattle Decap has been a core band in my musical travels ever since discovering metal over 20 years ago. I was introduced with 'Regret and The Grave' and was enamoured by their emotion and power in their music. Through Harvest Floor, Monolith, Anthropocene Extinction, Death Atlas and now Terrasite, along with many live shows, I always loved seeing their amazing development and effort they put into their music. Every single time I thought they made the perfect verse, song, album, they kill it with the next. I hope we get to enjoy Cattle Decap for many years to come, as it is one of the few bright spots in an ever spiraling world.

[@BirdOfHermes83]

Feel the same. But I only heard of then when the bring back the plague video came out. I missed out of ao many years that I could of been listening to them. But I am so happy that I did find them. Been my favorite band since maybe a month of first hearing them. I hope they never retire!

[@1tsrhodes]

I've been following them for basically the same length and somehow each album captures the moment perfectly. I still haven't recovered from that genius Bring Back the Plague video

[@carlmallany]

I had to do an album review for a friends magazine and for some reason I started harvest floor at regret and the grave. I was hooked. We are horrible people got me too. Their progress is unmatched

[@midianrises1742]

Same here, i found Regret and the Grave through a mobile tap rhythm game. Went out and bought Harvest Floor soon after. Never knew of the chaos i was about to endeavor. The evolution of this band is one of a kind.

[@coerquensacverk1084]

Ouroboros of bones in the final

[@nomad927]

Cattle Decap is generally considered death metal but I feel these guys have evolved into their own genre. Any other bands and particularly other vocalists that sound like this are simply riding the coattails of these guys. This band created a sound that will certainly be influential for a long time. Cattle Decap are one of the most innovative bands to come out in a very long time.

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

Def a huge black metal vibe goin on too

[@digitalmouse3314]

Chuck from Death is what Travis built on yes, myself as well.

[@DurpenHeimer]

Technical Black Metal? XD

[@SUB-IN-SUPER]

This is probably their best song coming from Terrasite. It's such a dark, doom and self accepting darkness in it. Basically saying and admitting: "We destroyed ourselves, and for why?" It really hits to the core of the soul, knowing everyone's hopes and souls were destroyed along with ourselves, and for what reason? For what good?

[@redsith6805]

best Part 03:23 man that guitar Riff with travis's screams ...gives me everytime goosebumps❤

[@daphne1065]

I have bouts of depressive helplessness hearing abnormal amounts of rain fall on my roof. I am uncomfortable at the Christmas dinner table as I think about the last white Christmas. I get terrified seeing birds build nests in January. I miss when everything seemed okay. I am suffering from solastalgia.

[@MsPedross]

I can suffer from solastalgia with earth.

[@michaelmeadows4883]

Best band in metal right now and I don't think it's even close, in my personal opinion.

[@TheIronRaven]

Awesome to see them live. Best concert I've been to in years!

[@michaelmeadows4883]

agreed. Saw them in Baltimore, plan to go again.

[@CosmicKristen]

This comment right here, last time I saw them I heard Travis was sick and I couldn’t tell at all. Everyone in this band puts on a killer live show.

[@brandontadday6288]

I saw these guys in Melbourne about a month or so ago at the Croxton Bandroom. Travis somehow sounds even better live than on the album. It was a killer show!

[@CosmicKristen]

@@brandontadday6288 yeah a lot of the live videos of Cattle don’t do the live sound justice, the whole band has killed it everytime I’ve seen them. I’m excited for the Terrasite tour

[@Knotdead73]

I think I could count with one hand the bands that the THE BANDS that make a whole difference in Metal Music and these guys are one of them. Master's in their Class.

Travis, you are the best, your song is killing me sofly and makes me cry everytime I hear this... I can feel your concerns and love about the environment, the animals and the earth... Thank you...

[@tallulahbeaverhausen4382]

Cattle Decapitation has such a personal sound, touch, riffing, and style that it has become one of these bands that are immediately recognizable : you hear a few notes and you can say "yep, that's Cattle Decap !" Great video for a fantastic track from a killer album ! Can't wait to see them live again !

[@mitchcallander2608]

They are so good live! Saw them in Australia and far exceeded my expectations, blew my mind !

[@maadfc]

Yup from the first few notes thought it was one of the songs off death atlas

[@ragingrich95]

I really would like to thank my cousin for putting me on with this Band. He showed me Death Atlas Album, Death Atlas being one of the first songs. At first I thought it wasn’t gonna stick with me cause I’m so used to like Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal 🤘🏼, R&B, (Breaking Benjamin, Metallica, Drake, John Legend) The build up and then the Hit of the Song Mid way through it was just an instant classic and hit. I checked out another few songs like Time’s Cruel Curtain, The Geocide, those just made me more hooked. When Terrasite Album released the first song was Scourge of the Offspring I honestly don’t know how many times we listened to it but lol it was around 12pm at night blasting it on the JBL SPEAKER. Man I tell you the bass, the guitar solo, I’d say the last min and thirty of the song was just brutal and so intense. Then the album released and my absolute top 3 favorite songs were Solastagia- 💥💥💥 A Photic Doom - 🔥 Scourge of the Offspring- 🔥💥 Solastagia is a song that is just incredible and intense. It has that powerful melody and just from start to finish it brings the meaning of Holy Shit. Loved the bass part like around 1:45 that part is just 😳😳😳 and then 2:36 is 🔥🔥😭😭 just elegant and brutal at the same time and it builds up to 3:55 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥THE END OF HOPE, LAMENT TOGETHER, DESPAIR FOREVER, LOSE OUR MINDS! Thanks Again brother @sinisterspawn this really helps with my mental state and brings me to just in my own world and makes me feel intense. Sounds pretty corny but this type of music helps people that’s gone through some rough shit and I’d tell you it just connects.

[@rattlhed1]

So well said. When I have a shitty day or come home from work just destroyed I throw this album on and it helps me cope. It’s aggressive but so beautiful, and fills me with such joy that I can forget my worries and just sink into the music. It’s important to have these releases available to us and this band is therapeutic in so many ways. They are a true force in metal and I hope they continue to put out music for years to come.

[@dahnmer]

my favourite track of the album! ❤

[@Fo-Flats]

Solastalgia~ As opposed to nostalgia--the melancholia or homesickness experienced by individuals when separated from a loved home--solastalgia is the distress that is produced by environmental change impacting on people while they are directly connected to their home environment

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

What an incredible masterpiece song and video.

[@Idkwhtpsipto]

Good to see other similar thinkers. I really think we’re all uploaded now. We’re not the same as we were back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. It’s just different. It’s not as good at all.

[@marcxmarcxmarc]

I love these guys! They always did a wonderful and meaningful job. Even that I distance myself from metal bands, I feel like I always will be open to listen to their new works. (same with Anaal Nathrakh, Meshuggah, Napalm Death and other few bands)

[@dustyelliott95]

I’ve been a metal head most of my 42 years but avoided the more extreme end (for the most part) for a good chunk of that time. I’ve only been listening to extreme stuff for like 4 years. These guys definitely helped guide me into this world and I love them for it.

[@chrisfitzgerald4775]

I can't fucking wait to see these guys on the chaos and carnage tour in reading pa. There playing with rivers of nihil who is also a fucking amazing band and carnifex who is dope as fuck and another band who im sure is fucking amazing

[@Cristian_1985]

Life is torture 😊 one of my favorite off the new album. Can’t wait to see them in December

[@mineofilms]

Great performance video. I miss stuff like this. Its all visualizations now, that kills a lot of videos for me being a film grad. This record is banger too. I am 45 but love a lot of the modern metalcore and deathcore out. Usually I would put these guys in with bands I can't really do because its just so heavy, brutal and fast I cannot mentally keep up with it but I can with Cattle Decapitation. Amazing band and would probably pay to see them live which is rare for me to say. I have too many medical issues and going to live shows is so hard for me but I'd tough it out to see these guys do their thing on a stage...

[@graemeozzie2251]

So privileged to see this band live in September 2023 on the Terrasite tour. They really just do their own thing. Unique and unmistakable with lyrics about stuff that matters. They arent ahead of their time. They are our time.

[@gothicfriar]

One of my favorite songs from the new album. Amazing video! CD are simply at another level both sonically and visually with their story telling.

[@WillitResolve]

The calmness and acceptance in Travis’s face as he says “the end of hope” is haunting and familiar. This song is powerful, gorgeous, and relatable. I feel this on a visceral level.
