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 alas, they return with Terrasite, which is as bold a statement as they have ever made.
“After a record like Death Atlas, you have to make a turn,” notes guitarist Josh Elmore. “Everything about that album - the concept, artwork, music, etc, was a final statement. The only way to move forward is rebirth. In approaching the newest record, it was not only necessary to keep the musical trajectory the band has been aiming towards since the beginning, but also to further explore the ambient/textural elements that were part of Death Atlas.”
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. I already had the concept idea from years back and since Death Atlas was so dark and brooding, I wanted a completely opposite effect - I wanted this to take place in the daylight. I’ve always found daytime horror to be really unsettling so I wanted to make sure what was going on on the cover took place in the light of day, which also finds its place within the lyrics.”
The title is a word invented by Ryan that brings together “Terra-“ meaning “earth” and “-site” derived from the Greek word “-sitos” which means “food.” “The combination of the two means ‘earth-eater.’ It’s a metaphor for humanity’s role in the destruction of the planet and is a play-on-words of the very fitting word ‘parasite.’”
This is vividly brought to life in the artwork by longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter (Vader, Kreator, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy). “We see the nymph stage of this human/cockroach hybrid that is more of a fully grown being that has just molted from its ootheca stage, startled, confused, frightened but also pissed off.
The band once again worked with producer Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Allegaeon), who knows the members’ individual styles and how to coax the best out of them, bringing in Tony Parker of Midnight Odyssey to handle piano and synths.

LYRICS:
A Photic Doom
This accretion where gas and dust consolidate
under gravity’s control began a wasteland alone
No sign of life, intelligence has no role
Compounds of four elements, the beginning molecules of a soul
Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here
Here where all faith goes to die
Where we are damned by the light
Complex sequence of elements
Bond together life’s essence
Sugars, enzymes, proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid
From the kingdom to the order bricks and mortar of a doomed future
A spirit born in the darkness
a new species to arise
exothermic and heartless
with a penchant for earthly demise
Thriving in the light-less
No need for hope, a future with no
illumination and sightless
and grown without incandescence
Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
irradiated, alight
The uphill battle of life
Destroying dark
Oppressive light, brilliance alive
Avoid the spark that ends this night, damning sun rise
Geyser of light peers through the darkness
No ocean, no atmosphere
Hadean eon rise
Abandon hope all ye who enter here…
Father Lucifer! Your light still casts a shadow
In that emptiness we hide behind its veil
Smashed across the rocks and bleeding in the shallows
In our quest for light we’ve aimed our paths to fail
Skin starts to burn in the light
Vampiric nightmare
The cracking of the sun through the night
Goddamn the light

🎼Sick Sick Sick 🎉✊💀🤘
Thanks metal blade lyric dude!
Masterpiece
\m/any thanks!\m/
Fantastic the one word I don't even know how to pronounce props WOW
Hail Cattle Decapitation
👍
And satan
Amen
@@BirdOfHermes8381 what happened to the beserk profile pic
@@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL Let's see Travis Ryan's card.....
This is definitely one of those bands that could never replace their vocalist hes that fucking good!
Amen
The rest are good but without him the band wouldn't stand out very much at all imo.
Yea, Ted Bundy has been killing it in this band a looong time now 😅Completely agree though, Travis is iconic in this corner of music and his technique seems as though he never stops learning to improve it.
@SlowlyYouRot I dunno. I think if they did more of the monolith style riffs, they could stand out alot more
@@SlowlyYouRot I mean Travis doesn't write the songs iirc. He does lyrics, concepts and obv vocals.
Mans really used "deoxyribonucleic acid" in a verse. God damn fucking legendary.
Exactly!! Saw it and was - wouw
I wonder how many times Travis fucked it up.
In Krokodil Rot they use "dihydrodesoxymorphine" in a verse, which I just love.
mans,... death metal bands were doing that kind of lyrics in the 80s ,mans.
@@primalmythic386 got any examples?
Why aren't more people talking about the fact that this man is rolling his R's and S's WHILE screaming??
Yes ..I totally noticed this ..unreal..Travis has perfected the game ..such an amazing frontman 🤘🏽
Have you ever paid close attention to how he moves his mouth to get a lot of his unique sounds? He will literally stick his down out the side of his teeth and into his cheek. First saw it in an interview with Travis, now i can't ever unsee it.😂 hands down one of the best singers in deathcore.
YEP
@adamglaser366 not deathcore.
Hey dude, if you like that tongue rolling, check out the song "one thought" by dark tranquility, it's pretty old and they did it on that song a few times, never to replicate it again, it's kinda similar.
Listening to the new album now. It is a banger. These guys can do no wrong
You got it on vinyl? What are your favorite tracks?
about to download it and listening to it! i'm sure it will be a masterpiece worth of buying!!
Such a shift from Death Atlas which I love. Terrasite is a whole new level of Cattle IMO, it's fantastic.
Les meilleurs
Agree about 200%. No filler, all killer. All the singles are my fav's off the new album.
Cattle once again proves why they are one of the greatest Metal bands walking the face of this decaying earth 🔥
I'm a prog guy myself, listening mostly to Bands like Tool, Opeth, Meshuggah, Gojira, Karnivool or the Ocean but i agree!
@@Dechsi87 I listen to all of these bands myself except Karnivool but I know who they are and Opeth is my all time favorite band haha
OMFG! These guys have already immortalized themselves in the history books of extreme music but I wish they could actually be immortal cos they just KEEP GETTING BETTER WITH EVERY RELEASE! *bows down* RESPECT! 🤘
Can't believe what I just saw and I had the same thing in my mind. Such fucking legends!

Thank You!!
These guys never slow down, never sell out, never soften up, and never run out of ideas. They just keep cranking out the brutality in new and unique ways, while still being The Cattle decap we all know and love. Thank you guys for another banger.
its wild to see some people calling Monolith a sellout in comments from back then. some dude saying they ruined it with the "cleans" 🤣
God damn I’m just grateful that I’m still getting new Cattle Decap albums, from listening to Humanure as a freshman in Highschool to Terrasite as a grown man with a son of my own at 33 years old this band has provided a soundtrack through it all. Thank you!!
100% this. I've got more years than you at 47, but Humanure in my late twenties... Took my daughter to her first show Sunday in Pontiac, what a time to be alive.
Wish I could say the same. I'm 22, got into Cattle Decap in 2019, and most of the bands I grew up with have either broken up or sold out. Hopefully by the time I'm your age Cattle is still putting out bangers and I'll be able to say they soundtracked my 20's.
Funny how they are antinatalist. I guess you dont care much about the message since you are a breeder huh
20+ years of listening to this band, and they just keep getting better and better. It's crazy.
fuck man u'r incredible! 20 years listening CD!
UA-cam recommended me this band and now i am a fan, can't believe how good the singer is and their overall message.
No body is doing music like these guys. Top of the food chain.
Man... Total respect! This record reaps! Travis vocals are absolutely insane!
А как дела на самом деле обстоят, без розовых очков?
Truly a 10/10 album, to my ears this album as a whole has no faults. It's the evolution Cattle Decapitation was working towards, and it sounds absolutely incredible. If I could have anything, I'd want a video for Solastalgia, a massive standout track imo. Amazing work as always, you never fail to deliver.
OH AND TRAVIS IS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF BADASS IN THIS VIDEO HOLY SHIT MAN
+1 vote for Solarstagia clip
right? he looks like a rabid deadite at the end, it's sick!
vids for all the songs please
Solastalgia really is a monster.
@@singingflowers7456 Groovy
I like everything that has ‘Doom’ in it
So. Freaking. Excited!!!!
The vocals/lyrics for this track are genius. Incredible combination of rhythm, pronunciation, and image crafting. Travis Ryan is a master of his craft.
3:27 I really love these parts where they have clean vocals. His voice is so unique and the band sounds so good . Wish they would do more clean vocal parts
Agreed
I swear, this band just gets better and better with every song and every album! All Hail cattle decap! 🤘🤘
Okay, there is A LOT to unpack with this insane album. Starting off with the Elephant in the room, HOLY FUCK I swear Cattle Decap have became their own genre at this point because NEVER have I heard any other band sound like this, I mean, what the FUCK would you even call this genre? Symphonic Deathgrind? Maybe even Progressive Deathgrind? Even then that sounds like a silly genre on paper but this sounds SOOO GOOD!
And we of course can't forget about Travis Ryan's LEGENDARY Goblin Cleans that he's been using ever since Monolith, I've been seeing videos of people doing vocal covers of CD's songs with those vocals and no offense to them, but I think none of which had even came CLOSE to sounding like Travis. The man is an absolute legend and is a huge inspiration to a bunch of extreme metal bands too, more specifically, Deathcore bands. and yes, I know Travis absolutely fucking despises Deathcore, but honestly I fucking respect the man for that. (Not that I hate Deathcore too, because I fucking love it.)
And probably for the last thing that just NEEDS to be said, JUST ANOTHER BODY IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! I just love how they had a Piano/Orchestral opening to the song and slowly building it up to the first verse, one could probably even call the song a fucking Cattle Decap Ballad. (but hey, this of course wasn't the first time they made a song like this, I mean, there was the title track for Death Atlas which sounds pretty similar.) AND THAT OUTRO IS JUST SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!! the way Travis layered both his Goblin Cleans and Normal Cleans together just sounds so mesmerising to me, and I also love how they somehow managed to include that sort of 80s sounding synth at the end, and not only that, but they made it fit PERFECTLY with the outro too. I'm just so fascinated and in love with how CD has evolved since Monolith, It's like they got even better with every album going on from there.
I only discovered this band quite recently too, Somewhere around Late 2021/Early 2022 I think, I'm not exactly sure, but one thing is that I'm SURE AS SHIT am a Cattle Decapitation fan now. And every time one of my favourite bands releases a new album, I always just can't help but already start to wonder what their next album would be like, and dare I say, I don't know if Cattle can possibly top this album, I think they might have just peaked here, but I really hope that they prove me wrong the next time they release an album. And I'm definitely planning on finding (and buying) this album on Vinyl the next time I go to HMV, I've literally only just started collecting Vinyl's as I only have my first vinyl I got just a month or two ago which is Pain Remains by Lorna Shore, and I'm definitely getting this album next before anything else because this album is a G I M M E. And I'm also planning on getting a Cattle Decap shirt/hoodie whenever I get the chance.
So Travis Ryan, Josh Elmore, Belisario Dimuzio, Olivier Pinard, and David McGraw, if any of you lot see this comment, Congratulations, A New Fan Has Just Been Born.
Cattle Grind
There's not really all that much grindcore to them anymore to be honest. Which is fine, there's only so much you can do with grind. I like that they've expanded in a way that makes sense; each member brings something different to the table and it all gets mixed together with a heaping spoonful of generalized misanthropy.
@@No-cg9kj i agree with you there. I love grind, ever since picking up a couple Nasum, Total Fucking Destruction, Brutal Truth, and other bands' albums as random purchase at a neighbors garage sale some 25 years ago; but if you listen to nothing but grind, sometimes it can blend together a tad. Listen to certain groups throughout the years and you can literally pinpoint periods of stagnation and rebirth over and over.
Don't get me wrong, i will always love Humanure, To Serve Man, and Karma.Bloody.Karma ("Success... is Hanging by the Neck" will always destroy), but from Monolith and Anthropocene to Death Atlas and now this album, CxDx has developed their own sound, and I fuckin love them for it
They haven't been deathgrind since 2012, and the band themselves don't even consider Monolith deathgrind
It's undeniable that they're in their own lane of death metal though. The almost post-metal guitar effects on this album are a very welcome addition, and the melodic aspect is something 100% unique to them.
Tech death, progressive death, whatever sub-style they could be described as broadly aligned with... ultimately none of that can convey what they've stylistically crafted. It's been in the making, refined with each album since Karma Bloody Karma in 06', at least that's what it feels like when you listen back to back. What an evolution!!
a lot to unpack wholesome keanu 100!!
so catchy and good. my favorite album of 2023.
This album is a fucking masterpiece
One of the best bands out there.
The way he rolls his R when he says Vampiric nightmare
According to UA-cam, this is my most listened to song of 2023 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The makeup in this vid is amazing, and makes Travis Ryan look very spooky...but at the same time I can only think about him wearing fuzzy slippers and hugging his dog in the video for Bring Back the Plague.
Love these guys.
Been around nearly 30 years and this feels fresh
Travis Ryan is one of the goats for a reason! Damn Cattle Decapitation never disappoints
I really just listen to these guys for the melodic chorus parts, they are absolute legends in it. I wish more of their songs had that, but I can accept it. Total fucking legends.
Man whenever i think cattle have already amazed me the proceed to get better. Goats of extreme metal.
LETS GO !
Monster Travis is creeeeepy man, they did a great job with the makeup and effects there.
And the song's a fucking banger :D
How does a band stay so completely true to their sound while simultaneously NEVER sounding the least bit stale? They are an anomaly in the scene man, some of the best to ever do it
One of the best albums EVER.
YES !!!🙏🙏🙏
Yes😮🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀🤘💀😮🤘
Cattle has become my favorite band. Holy hell, everything they have put out recently is mind blowing!
OH, YEAH
The double bass on this song is insane 🥁
I’m pretty sure this whole song is about my hatred for sunburns
Posted exactly 22 minutes ago, haha!
These new songs are SO fucking good!!
Ohhh YURRRR! ❤
Ooooohhhh yuuurrrrr!
This is my favorite off the album
So good, I prefer "The Storm Upstairs" though.
Future me said he really liked this music video.
Future me got it right 🤘
My favorite band. Seeing them live was so awesome, it sucks being the only fan within several miles in rural alberta that listens to them
This album is fucking INCREDIBLE!! Every song contains its own unique apocalypse of musicality and brutality! Standing ovation gents!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That Travis Ryan is an intense fella.
You shoulda seen my friend's face when he asked what I was listening to while we are at work
he said "I expected Swift or Gaga!" and then judged me for a minute.
Great song, neat video! I like the melting skin effects ♥🌻
This song makes me want to break in someone’s house and toast all their bread and put it back in the bag
Calm down Satan.
It's the consistency in great songwriting and creativity that puts these guys ahead every album cycle
20 Years ago, I dismissed Cattle as another death metal Cannibal clone. Time made me eat that, as softly as a tabasco flavored sock. WOW, masterful
Inspiring brutality! Cattle Decap never disappoints. Just bought my ticket for the Nile Theater show in April. Can't wait!.
This gotta be one of their best songs ever
One of the greatest metal bands of all time. They get better and better with each album.
If 10 years ago you would have told me that Cattle Decapitation had become one of my favorite metal bands, I would have laughed in your face. But their last three albums have been absolutely fantastic. Truly epic stuff!
They just don't miss!
Travis Ryan is the pure god among man, cause in his 48 hes screams sounds too high, growl so brutal, guttural godly low, clean sounds very epic! I Just immersed by him! Hes voice is the rare talent!
Hail Cattle Decapitation!
This is why you are my favourite band all this years.
Flawless album. Thank you for finding your strengths and pushing them further, every single time.
I’m so excited! I only recently discovered Cattle Decap and they are easily a top 5 band of all time for me. I can see Terrasite being my AOTY. San Diego represent!!
Welcome on board! 😊
This band singlehandedly made me love extreme metal again with Death Atlas.
I don't think I have ever had one complaint with anything you guys have ever done. Thanks for giving us new stuff to listen to, you are all great.
best country album i heard in years
i know my fucking music.....this band and their music surpasses everything ever created.....they are right now at this moment the best ......unbelievable..the lyrics...the talent...the songs.....they blow away everything else that is metal at this moment in time.....this is the standard for the future...CATTLE DECAPITATION
Cattle Decapitation just keeps getting better. It's truly amazing. After all this time, they find a way to improve on an already groundbreaking sound. I love them.
Whole album is a god damn masterpiece just like Death Atlas.
Hands one of the best Death Metal bands on the meat market right now!
This song literally has everything I wanted in a Cattle song
This is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time! So creative and well done! I am glad to see Cattle Decapitation get their due after being amazing for so long. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
Congratulations, Cattle Decap. Your new album is a brilliant masterpiece. 10/10 for me.
Posting this after hearing the music. Good lord what have I missed out on all my life!? I feel so dirty and simultaneously embarrassed for never having heard of these guys. This was a brilliant song. Will be checking out more Cattle Decapitation. 36 years old and feel like a toddler today.
Dark room. Earphones. Let's GO!
Holy s**t!!! I cant stop watching this!! I'm an old school thrash guy & have heard of these guys but never gave them a listen. I've probably watched this video 20 times since it came out just yesterday! Brutal!! Smart! Catchy!! Creepy!! Insane!! LOVE IT!!! Gonna check out more!!(any recommendations??)
Their last 4 albums are all 10/10, Monolith through Terrasite. Anything earlier is more grindcore influenced and different from the modern CD formula
Start from the beginning and work your way to this release 🤘
Anthropocene is amazing beyond words. But the last 4 are all incredibly good. Monolith, Anthropocene, Death Atlas, Terrasite.
Totally killer video and song! Terrasite is another masterpiece for Cattle Decapitation!!
masterclass - endboss - lvl 10000
Fuckin' black metal vocals on the chorus AND rolled "R"s. One of their best songs.
This video actually pisses me off because of just how cool it is.
Dude this video kicks so much ass. The lyrics are fkn dope too
Well, I don't even know if it's correct to say that A Photic Doom is one of the best songs from the album, because, in fact, they all are.
vocals, riffs, drums.... everything firing on all cylinders. i am in awe
Absolutely beautiful.
Lyrically and musically this is such a good album. Travis sounds more and more like the critter in the cover with every LP.
Лечить вас, конченных, надо. Смотрю и ужасаюсь, сколько же в стране больных людей. Жаль, что принудительная медицина отсутствует, очень жаль.
Best album front to back I've heard in a good long time. Ferocious, technical, melodic, amazing 👏 ❤
This one is my favorite. I love the drums and the concept.
Death Metal about burning in the sun, genius.
This is one of the few bands that has the collaboration that manages to continue to surpass themselves with every release! Love these guys! Always disgustingly heavy!
FRESH FRESH FRESH FRESH
10/10 album and music video! Maximum respect Cattle Decapitation 🤘🇧🇷
I gotta be honest about something here....and I've been a hard core metal head for 35 or 36 yrs. I'm ashamed to admit it but I pass over listening to this band Cattle Decapitation for a long time....to long and it was because of their name. I know, that's stupid and closed minded but DAMN I'm glad I got past that dumb shit cause these guy are fuckin awesome. I love this fuckin bad. Lesson: Don't judge a book by its cover or a band by their name.
I’m extremely glad that they took their time on this masterpiece…I’m a huge Death Metal fan …and recently it’s been hard to find Metal bands..who venture into the Death Metal scene..big up..D..Cap ..for realizing that this is a scenesound..that some of us metal fans luv..!
Damn what a video, it really enhances the energy and feel of the song without taking away from their performance as a band. When he lifted the arm I felt like my screen was on fire!
I wanna hear Travis do a Shakira song.
Now imagine Shakira do a Travis song
Hell No 😒
My mom loves that woman.
After that, Shakira will relinquish said song to CD… it forever will never be the same!
Just dont let beyonce do a sliplnot song
Make my weekend bright like a sunshine🤘
If there one band that deserves their success it’s Cattle Decapitation!
El mejor disco del año! No hay dudas! Gracias Cattle Decapitation por tanto metal!!!
Cattle Decapitation never disappoints, great song and video 🤘🏻
Last week, i had a crazy mental experience in which ultimately, i wound up in constant fear of an afterlife of eternal burning/torture. Not that ive done anything in this life that i feel deserves such a thing... Point being, while in the throes of this mental back-monkey, i found this video, and saw the guys being helplessly burned, and thought it quite coincidental. I love this band. First heard em via Monolith of Inhumanity. Its a strange, very real reaction their music stirs. Purely satisfying.
The spoken word part honestly reminds me of Vincent Price in Thriller lol just fucking awesome!
Wow this album is unbelievable! 10/10.
So pumped for this album. All 3 singles are BANGERS
The album is already out, was released 12 May
I wish I could like this one like 30 times
It's weird coz the more I listen to this song the more I love it
