Cattle Decapitation is an American grindcore/death metal band based in San Diego. Formed in 1996, the band has been delivering their unique and intense sound to fans all over the world. With Travis Ryan on vocals since 1997, Josh Elmore on guitars since 2001, Dave McGraw on drums since 2007, Belisario Dimuzio joining as a touring guitarist from 2015-2018 and officially becoming a member in 2018, and Olivier Pinard on bass also joining in 2018; Cattle Decapitation continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with their powerful music.

Over the years, Cattle Decapitation has had several talented musicians contribute to their lineup including Gabe Serbian, Scott Miller, Rahsaan Davis (touring), Troy Oftedal, Michael Laughlin, Dave Astor, and Derek Engemann. Their combined efforts have helped shape the band's distinctive sound that fans have come to love.

With a relentless drive for creating thought-provoking music and an unwavering dedication to their craft, Cattle Decapitation has solidified themselves as one of the most influential bands in the grindcore/death metal genre. Their powerful performances and socially conscious lyrics continue to resonate with fans worldwide.

The band's follow-up to 2019's critically adored Death Atlas full-length was again produced by Dave Otero (Allegaeon, Khemmis, Archspire) with startling new artwork by longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter (Vader, Kreator, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy). Comments vocalist Travis Ryan, "We've all heard the old saying about how the cockroach is so pervasive… so invasive… so insidious… that they could survive a nuclear war… Our previous album, Death Atlas, left the world blackened and lifeless.. or so we thought. It turns out that the carbon-encrusted bodies that adorned the album's layout and music video (and that resemble the victims of Pompeii that were frozen in time by the Mt. Vesuvius disaster of 79 A.D.) were actually more of a cocoon stage for something much more vicious to come: Humanity 2.0. "On the cover we see the terrasite, aka 'earth-eater,' molting from its ootheca. Having lived the tortuous existence of being a human, they have now re-emerged into a new world… saddened… confused… PISSED; rebirthed as a new variant of human disease, now adapted to continue and finish the utter ravaging of its home planet, Earth."
