Photos: CATTLE DECAPITATION (Boston, MA) – 2023/11/29
Long-running San Diego, California-based CATTLE DECAPITATION stopped by Boston, Massachusetts along their Terrasitic Infestation North American headlining tour with Immolation, Sanguisugabogg, and Castrator in tow. The deathgrind summoners released their tenth studio album, Terrasite, on May 12th via Metal Blade Records.
The title is a word invented by vocalist Travis 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). 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.
