CATTLE DECAPITATION: Monolith Of Inhumanity Streaming In Its Entirety At MetalSucks

Band Added To Shockwave Festival Tour 2012 Lineup

Today MetalSucks will help you kick off your weekend in veggie-gorging progressive grind style with an exclusive stream of CATTLE DECAPITATION’s Monolith Of Inhumanity. Set for a North American release on Tuesday, May 8, 2012, the 11-track long player is an achievement that stands out as one of the most volatile, ambitious, and impossible-to-pigeonhole records of 2012.

Produced by Dave Otero of Denver's Flatline Audio, Monolith Of Inhumanity sees the band investigating inventive new techniques in songwriting without abandoning their signature formula of confrontational audio wreckage. Conceptually, the record revolves around a potent distaste for contemporary civilization and the damage wrought in the name of progress. In addition, Monolith Of Inhumanity features a host of guests including Mike Majewski of Devourment (guest vocals on "Projectile Ovulation"), Lenard Leal of Cephalic Carnage (backing vocals by on "A Living, Breathing Piece of Defecating Meat"), The Cephalic Carnage Community Men's Choir, consisting of all current Cephalic members and alumni Jawsh Mullen and Zac Joe (gang choir vocals on "The Carbon Stampede"), and ambient and noise interludes by Los Angeles' most extreme decimator of sound, John Wiese.

Comments vocalist Travis Ryan: "It’s been a great start of the year for us what with the new album already getting great reviews from fans and press and all, but we're very excited for the announcement of this kick ass USA tour. It marks our return to Canadian soil after a three- year absence and is looking to be an extremely heavy hitter. Very honored to be asked by the Shockwave Festival to be a part of it!"
