CATTLE DECAPITATION will close out 2022 supporting labelmates AMON AMARTH on their North American headlining tour this November/December! The Great Heathen Tour will commence on November 11th in Las Vegas, Nevada and pillage its way through twenty-seven cities, ending on December 17th at the Kia Forum. Additional support will be provided by Carcass and Obituary making this the must-see tour for fans of death metal.

Comments Cattle Decapitation: “We are thrilled to get back out on the road and especially with such a stacked lineup! It’s going to be a killer run and an honor to perform every night alongside these legends.“

Check out the new tour teaser HERE and get your tickets for The Great Heathen Tour HERE.

Cattle Decapitation will be touring in support of their critically lauded Death Atlas full-length release via Metal Blade Records. Produced by Dave Otero, Death Atlas was named one of the best records of 2019 by Decibel Magazine, Metal Sucks, Metal Injection, and many more, and it demands an emotional response. The band has never shied away from confronting the awfulness wrought upon the natural world by the human race, and Death Atlas is their bleakest offering to date, featuring elements of death metal, grindcore, black metal, sludge, doom, drone – with Travis Ryan’s vocals broader and more fully realized than ever before.

Armed with their 12th and arguably finest album to date, Amon Amarth are poised to return to full action with a bloody, broadsword-wielding vengeance. The release of the new album ‘The Great Heathen Army‘ will kick-start another relentless global campaign, commencing with a co-headlining tour of Europe alongside Machine Head and fellow countrymen The Halo Effect before they set sail across the Atlantic with their sights firmly set on North American shores. Still ruthlessly devoted to the ways of the warrior, Amon Amarth have Odin’s wind in their sails like never before.

Set for release on Friday, August 5th, 2022 via Metal Blade Records, the 9-track aural assault that is “The Great Heathen Army” is available for pre-order now HERE. The band have released two singles thus far – “Get In The Ring“, which is is the official entrance music for AEW pro-wrestling star Erick Redbeard who also stars in the music video and “The Great Heathen Army” which was released last week and came accompanied by an incredible Stranger Things inspired music video shot in Latvia by Pavel Trebukhin.

Album pre-orders are available now from metalblade.com/amonamarth and feature a host of exclusive vinyl variants and must-have merch items for any self-respecting AMON AMARTH fan.

From pole to pole and sea to sea, AMON AMARTH are undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal. Formed in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, they have forged an extraordinary legacy over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal, all rich in the magical imagery of Viking history, folklore and culture.

From their underground smash debut ‘Once Sent From The Golden Hall‘ (1998) onwards, Amon Amarth have been an unstoppable creative force. With a unique and unmistakable sound that combines the best of several epic strains of metal, the quintet have become renowned for their ageless anthems and explosive, theatrical live shows. Albums like 2008’s widely acclaimed ‘Twilight Of The Thunder God‘ and 2016’s conceptual triumph ‘Jomsviking‘, the Swedes have been consistent standard bearers for heavy metal as a life-affirming and communal experience, armed with a seemingly endless stream of instant classic songs.

Now reaping the rewards of all those years of hard work, AMON AMARTH are now regarded as one of the metal world’s most vital and imperious live acts. From headlining festivals across Europe to claiming a place on Slayer‘s final tour of the US in 2019, they have honoured the adventurous ethos of their Viking forebears by taking their music anywhere and everywhere.

Unfortunately, as the world ground to a halt early in 2020, AMON AMARTH were in the midst of a wildly successful world tour in support of their most recent album, Berserker. Disappointed but unbowed, the band decided instead to forge a new creative path, resulting in their most crushing and heroic full-length album to date, “The Great Heathen Army“.

When CATTLE DECAPITATION released one of the most unflinching albums of 2019, Death Atlas, American fans were left in a void as tours were shut down due to the pandemic. Today, the San Diego grinders announce the DEATH…AT LAST Tour, also featuring THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, CREEPING DEATH and EXTINCTION A.D.

CATTLE DECAPITATION frontman Travis Ryan declares, “We are ecstatic to be able to finally announce a US tour after almost two years of inactivity in the States due to the pandemic! Our latest album and what we consider to be the bands finest hour in our entire 25 year history, Death Atlas, will finally get its due in the States. Before things shut down, we had nailed down what we felt was our best live set we had ever done and had played it in Australia, New Zealand and Japan but were cut off before we could bring it to the states after you all had fully digested it. Well, we’re happy to say we’ll be taking some time out of our busy writing schedule to do this album some justice LIVE starting this January. We’ll be bringing along some bands whose names fit nicely in the aesthetic of Death Atlas including THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, CREEPING DEATH and EXTINCTION A.D.! We ALL deserve everything that’s coming! DEATH…AT LAST!“

CATTLE DECAPITATION Launch Video For “Finish Them”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 19, 2021
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

CATTLE DECAPITATION released their latest record, Death Atlas, to critical acclaim in 2019; today, the band has launched a new video for the album track, “Finish Them”. Directed by Nicholas Vidler, the video features live footage from Cattle Decapitation‘s sold-out shows in Melbourne, Australia in early 2020. Watch “Finish Them” now here:

Vocalist Travis Ryan comments: “When traveling to Australia to embark on our Australia/New Zealand/Japan tour in early 2020, we wondered what would await us on their soil as bushfires were raging, claiming the lives of millions of wild animals, altering the lives of many of our fans and citizens of Australia. What we didn’t expect was record turnouts with serious rabid fans that I think just wanted to take their minds off the current state of affairs and do their best to have a good time given the utterly shit circumstances they were experiencing. We quickly organized meet and greets at the last minute and were able to raise well over $25,000AUD for the Cobargo Wildlife Sanctuary, who had pretty much lost everything in the fires. Thanks to the incredible support from our fans down under and through other folks ready to help, they were able to rebuild. We really felt like we had been given a gift by the fans, so we wanted to give back to these people who came out and raged with us by releasing our final music video for ‘Death Atlas,’ which showcases how sick the shows were and how truly amazing our fans are. Look close, maybe you’ll find yourself in the crowd! Looking forward to returning to the stage one day, hopefully soon!”

Produced once again by Dave Otero (flatlineaudio.com), Death Atlas was named one of the best records of 2019 by Decibel Magazine, Metal Sucks, Metal Injection, and many more, and it demands an emotional response. Cattle Decapitation have never shied away from confronting the awfulness wrought upon the natural world by the human race, and Death Atlas is their bleakest offering to date, featuring elements of death metal, grindcore, black metal, sludge, doom, drone – with Travis Ryan’s vocals broader and more fully realized than ever before.

CATTLE DECAPITATION Launch Video For “Bring Back The Plague”

After releasing their latest record, Death Atlas, last year to critical acclaim, CATTLE DECAPITATION are now launching a video for one of the album tracks, “Bring Back The Plague”. Watch the clip here:

Cattle Decapitation‘s Travis Ryan (vocals) comments: “With the cancellation of our ironically titled ‘Europandemic Tour’ and social distancing recommendations set in place, we found ourselves with not much to do. So we figured why not address the elephant in the room in the form of a music video for ‘Bring Back The Plague’ and just film it on our mobile phones instead of with an actual crew. Dave didn’t even have access to a drum kit and nobody is leaving their houses anyways so we decided to lighten the mood with a video. Everything from the band name to the lyrics to the merchandise to the imagery have always been heavily steeped in metaphors and irony always with tongue firmly in cheek, so this new video by David Hall at Uneasy Sleeper may just be our coup de gras…for better, or for worse. Just don’t take it too seriously, we obviously didn’t. After all it is April Fool’s Day so sit back, have a laugh if you can and stay the fuck home.”

Produced once again by Dave Otero (flatlineaudio.com), Death Atlas was named one of the best records of 2019 by Decibel Magazine, Metal Sucks, Metal Injection, and many more, and it demands an emotional response. Cattle Decapitation have never shied away from confronting the awfulness wrought upon the natural world by the human race, and Death Atlas is their bleakest offering to date, featuring elements of death metal, grindcore, black metal, sludge, doom, drone – with Travis Ryan’s vocals broader and more fully realized than ever before.
