CATTLE DECAPITATION wrapped up recording their new album last week and have returned home for a couple weeks before heading out for their European tour with SUFFOCATION. The album was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Dave Otero of Denver's Flatline Audio.

The humans of earth can expect a much more updated production, complete with some surprising guest appearances and the kind of musical exploration that garnered the band droves of new fans with 2009's The Harvest Floor. Once again, Cattle Decapitation gives us more extravagantly intense artwork from artist Wes Benscoter and the CD/LP layout are as over the top as the album's concept itself.

Some of the track titles on the new album include: 'Forced Gender Reassignment', 'A Living, Breathing Piece Of Defecating Meat', and 'The Carbon Stampede'. All of the details from the new album such as, cover art, track list, guest appearances, and pre-order info will be revealed in the coming months.

Cattle Decapitation is also pleased to announce their participation in the Occupation Domination 2012 US Tour with ORIGIN.

Vocalist Travis Ryan has posted the following update: "We're fresh out of the recording studio and are very much looking forward to dissecting the auditory canals of all who bear witness to our set on the upcoming US tour with our friends Origin! We're hitting up some areas that we haven't in a while and those who we are missing this time, not to worry… you will be seeing us back out on the road over the coming months as we support our upcoming album. We will also be focusing a lot on international touring on this new album, which will keep us away from the states for a bit, so we urge our US fans who want to see us to be sure to mark when we're coming through their town on their calendars. We are very excited to show the world our new material and are looking forward to sharing information regarding our new album in the coming month! Stay tuned… stay GORE!"
