Cattle Decapitation & Shadow Of Intent
30th January 2025

Though many bands have tried, no one articulates the real apocalypse humanity is facing as vividly and succinctly as Cattle Decapitation. With 2019’s Death Atlas they reached the apex of this, perhaps leading some to believe they had no place left to go beyond such an achievement, but now they return with Terrasite, which is as bold a statement as they have ever made. As such, Terrasite pushes their sound further into more epic and varied territory, and in the hands of vocalist Travis Ryan the governing concept takes a new and disturbing direction. “I wanted to do the 180° opposite of Death Atlas. Since Death Atlas was so dark and brooding, I wanted this to take place in the daylight. I’ve always found daytime horror to be really unsettling, which also finds its place within the lyrics.”
