Cattle Decapitation is an American death metal band, founded in 1996 in San Diego, California. The band’s lyrics focus on animal rights, environmentalism, and anti-capitalism, which has led to their classification as an eco-grind band. They released their first album in 1999, titled “Human Jerky,” and have since gone on to release eight more full-length albums. Their music has been lauded for its technical proficiency, and their live performances are known for their energy and sometimes controversial stage theatrics. Over the years, the band has undergone several lineup changes, with only two original members remaining. Despite these changes, Cattle Decapitation has maintained a devoted fan base and critical acclaim, with their latest album, “Death Atlas,” released in 2019.
