Cattle Decapitation is an American extreme metal band that has been a formidable presence in the heavy music scene since their formation in 1996 in San Diego, California. The group is known for their aggressive style, which blends elements of death metal, grindcore, and black metal with a focus on themes of environmentalism, animal rights, and critiques of human behavior. The band stands out for their graphic and confronting lyrical content that is aimed at challenging listeners to confront the darker aspects of humanity and its impact on the planet.

Over the years, Cattle Decapitation has cultivated a dedicated following through their relentless touring and consistently abrasive sound. Their most recent releases, including the acclaimed "Death Atlas" (2019), which dive deep into themes of environmental catastrophe and existential dread, showcase the band's evolution in sound and concept while retaining their foundational intensity. Notably, the band has earned respect not only for their no-holds-barred approach to metal but also for their staunch commitment to their message. With records like the remastered "Homovore" (2021) and the varied offerings within "Medium Rarities" (2020), Cattle Decapitation continues to push the boundaries of metal both thematically and sonically.
