"CATTLE DECAPITATION haben eine massives Update zum neuen Album 'The Harvest Floor' gepostet!»We’re FINALLY done with all the finishing touches of our new album and we feel we’ve finally done it! Sonically, the band has managed to finally capture and accentuate its live intensity that we’ve become known for and has created one hell of an album from start to epic finish! Conceptually, its misanthropy shall go unmatched. This is it, humans... ferocity at its finest.
The album is called 'The Harvest Floor', a title Travis has been kicking around in his head and working towards for the last 2 albums and will arrive as an enhanced CD! The actual title refers to the area of a slaughterhouse where the animal (of course in our case it always means the HUMAN) begins the agonizing process of death, usually done with a bolt to the forehead or a slice to the throat. 'The Harvest Floor' is a fitting title for an album laden in gore and the anti-human metaphors and sentiments CATTLE DECAPITATION fans have grown to know and love.
Artwork by Wes Benscoter shows the outside of a large slaughterhouse/factory of doom and gloom with the general public being herded inside to meet their demise. The inside of the album layout reveals what’s really inside that slaughterhouse: our misanthropic heroes of gore (not core) at another hard day of work! Combined with the amazing artwork and conceptually brutal layout, the CD version of 'The Harvest Floor' also contains an enhanced portion which sports an I-pod ready documentary titled 'Pandemic: The Damnation Epic – The Making of The Harvest Floor' which, simply put, makes 'The Harvest Floor' an apocalyptic multimedia epic!«

Wieder einmal gibt es diverse Gastbeiträge auf einem CATTLE DECAPITATION Album zu beklatschen. Alte Bandkumpels wie Ross Sewage (Impaled/Ludicra) und Dino Sommese (Dystopia/Asunder) haben ein paar Zeilen beigetragen. Die Band ist außerdem hocherfreut darüber, eine special appearance der einzigartigen Jarboe (Swans) ankündigen zu dürfen, die ihre bezaubernde, gespenstische Stimme dem Deathepic 'The Harvest Floor' verliehen hat.
Jackie Perez Gratz (Grayceon/Amber Asylum) veredelt diverse Songs mit ihrem elektrischen Cello und der aus L.A. stammende Noisician John Wiese gibt diverse Expertisen seines Electronic/Atmospheric Fachwissens zum Besten, was die Band zusätzlich von all den klischeehaften Extremebands der Gegenwart unterscheidet.
'The Harvest Floor' markiert die Rückkehr der Engineering- und Produzentenqualitäten von Billy Anderson (Mr. Bungle, Melvins, Swans), während das Schlagzeug mit Zach Ohren (All Shall Perish, Decrepit Birth) aufgenommen wurde, was einen harten, einzigartigen und modernen Sound garantiert. Für einen Monat in den Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA, eingeschlossen, verharrten CATTLE DECAPITATION in der Dunkelheit, um jetzt endlich ihr neues Höllenwerk 'The Harvest Floor' zu entbinden.
