If Cattle Decapitation had called it quits after the release of The Harvest Floor, their career would have been considered exceptional. After spending the better part of a decade touring the world and churning out a series of genre-defining records, what more did they need to prove? This question can be liberating for an artist. If you’ve accomplished your goals, you may not be as reluctant to break the rules, subvert expectations, and explore new territory. This is exactly the mindset that ushered in a “2nd career” for Cattle Decapitation. The band challenged themselves, beginning their long-standing relationship with producer (and practically 5th member) Dave Otero, who helped sculpt their sound for a new era. The albums that emerged perfectly blended the abrasiveness of black metal, the atmosphere of post-metal, and a refined version of the death metal fans had grown to love. Join us for Part 3 in Riff Worship’s deep dive on Cattle Decapitation, as Austin & Dylan discuss two bleak predictions of humanity’s influence on the environment: Monolith of Inhumanityand The Anthropocene Extinction
