So much so that we decided to premiere the second sample track of our new album <em>Monolith Of Inhumanity<\/em> on a European website for all our fans and the new fans we just made during this last tour! We had a blast and we hope you all get a kick out of the new track \u2018Lifestalker.\u2019 This new album is light years ahead of the rest of our albums and we look forward to coming back to Europe to decapitate you all with it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Monolith Of Inhumanity<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em>is an<em> <\/em>achievement that stands out as one of the most volatile, ambitious, and impossible to aptly categorize records you will hear in 2012. Dragging their ever-evolving deathgrind sound kicking and screaming into the epic territory inhabited by the likes of Dimmu Borgir and Anaal Nathrakh, the quartet redefine all perceptions of what <strong>CATTLE DECAPITATION<\/strong> is. With their seventh full-length, the band have never sounded more focused, aggressive, or maniacally determined to get in the faces of those who erroneously believe they\u2019ve already experienced the band at their extreme best.<\/p>\n<p>The 11-track<em> <strong>Monolith Of Inhumanity<\/strong> <\/em>features a host of guests including Mike Majewski of Devourment (guest vocals on &#8220;Projectile Ovulation&#8221;), Lenard Leal of Cephalic Carnage (backing vocals by on &#8220;A Living, Breathing Piece of Defecating Meat&#8221;), The Cephalic Carnage Community Men&#8217;s Choir, consisting of all current Cephalic members and alumni Jawsh Mullen and Zac Joe (gang choir vocals on &#8220;The Carbon Stampede&#8221;), and ambient and noise interludes by Los Angeles&#8217; most extreme decimator of sound, John Wiese, as well as another strikingly brutal cover by Wes Benscoter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CATTLE DECAPITATION <\/strong>will head out on the Occupation Domination 2012 tour later this week with Origin, Decrepit Birth, Aborted, Rings Of Saturn, Battlecross and more!<strong> <\/strong><strong>Check out confirmed dates below:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CATTLE DECAPITATION \u2013 Occupation Domination 2012 <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>w\/ Origin, Decrepit Birth, Aborted, Rings Of Saturn, Battlecross<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>4\/14\/12 Forum 619 \u2013 Cheyenne, WY<br \/>\n4\/15\/12 Budd Ugly\u2019s \u2013 Rapid City, SD<br \/>\n4\/18\/12 Blackened Moon \u2013 Lansing, MI<br \/>\n4\/19\/12 Lansing Elementary Community Center, Lansing OH<br \/>\n4\/20\/12 Sonar \u2013 Baltimore, MD<br \/>\n4\/21\/12 Mojo 13 \u2013 Wilmington, DE<br \/>\n4\/22\/12 Champs Backstage \u2013 Trenton, NJ<br \/>\n4\/23\/12 Railroad Tavern \u2013 Keene, NH<br \/>\n4\/24\/12 Club Europa \u2013 Brooklyn, NY<br \/>\n4\/25\/12 Harpos \u2013 Detroit, MI<br \/>\n4\/26\/12 Brass Rail \u2013 Peoria, IL<br \/>\n4\/27\/12 Mojoe\u2019s \u2013 Joliet, IL<br \/>\n4\/28\/12 Camelot Arena \u2013 Portage, IN<br \/>\n4\/29\/12 Fubar \u2013 St. Louis, MO<br \/>\n4\/30\/12 The Rogue \u2013 Fayetteville, AR<br \/>\n5\/02\/12 El Rey Theatre \u2013 Albuquerque, NM<br \/>\n5\/03\/12 Cheyenne Saloon \u2013 Las Vegas, NV<br \/>\n5\/04\/12 Ruby Room \u2013 San Diego, CA<br \/>\n5\/05\/12 The Clubhouse \u2013 Tempe, AZ<br \/>\n5\/06\/12 The Whisky a Go-Go \u2013 Hollywood, CA<br \/>\n5\/07\/12 Slidebar \u2013 Fullerton, CA<br \/>\n5\/08\/12 DNA Lounge \u2013 San Francisco, CA<br \/>\n5\/09\/12 Plea For Peace Center \u2013 Stockton, CA<br \/>\n5\/10\/12 The Alley \u2013 Sparks, NV<br \/>\n5\/11\/12 Branx \u2013 Portland, OR<br \/>\n5\/12\/12 Studio Seven \u2013 Seattle, WA<br \/>\n5\/13\/12 The Venue \u2013 Boise, ID<br \/>\n5\/14\/12 In The Venue \u2013 Salt Lake City, UT<br \/>\n5\/15\/12 The Summit Music Hall \u2013 Denver, CO<br \/>\n5\/16\/12 People\u2019s Court \u2013 Des Moines, IA<br \/>\n5\/17\/12 Station 4 \u2013 St. Paul, MN<br \/>\n5\/18\/12 The Granada Theater \u2013 Lawrence, KS<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.metalblade.com\/cattledecapitation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.metalblade.com\/cattledecapitation\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.metalblade.com\/cattledecapitation<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cattledecap\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cattledecap\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/cattledecap<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cattledecapitation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cattledecapitation\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cattledecapitation<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/officialcattledecap\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/officialcattledecap\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/officialcattledecap<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cattledecapitation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cattledecapitation\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cattledecapitation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, California progressive grind conquerors CATTLE DECAPITATION release &#8220;Lifestalker,&#8221;
