Cattle Decapitation "Scourge of the Offspring"

Welcome back to The Great Metal Debate podcast. Today we are looking at the album Terrasite released on May 12th via Metal Blade Records. 

A band's overall evolution can go in many directions but I feel Cattle have managed to outdo themselves with my personal favorite album Monolith of Inhumanity and they continued to kick ass with their 2015 banger The Anthropocene Extinction. 4 years we have become humanoid cockroaches trying to survive in a bleak uninhabitable world.

The first track "Terrasitic Adaptation" is a decent openerbut doesn't really induce much head banging. Probably not a song I would choose to be on a live set list but it's okay. The next song "We Eat Our Young" has a very "Forced Gender Reassignment" feel to it but with a slowed chorus and even a slight soft spot moment when guitarist Josh Elmore clearly taps a foot pedal.

Another thing to point out is how well the drums sound in the mix and I've noticed that David McGraw seems to really put those cymbals to great use. His capabilities are on full display in "Scourge of the Offspring" along with Travis showing off his full vocal range.

"The Insignificants" begins with more blast beats and the traditional metal riff performed by the band's other guitarist Belisario Dimuzio. Traviscontinues to bludgeon us with his insane gutturals followed by a more haunting sounding spoken word section towards this song's conclusion.

One of the heaviest songs on the albums is  "The Storm Upstairs". I love how Josh and Belisario work together to bring us their chug riff and a guitar screech during the song's intro. Bassist Olivier Pinard helps to tie everyone's instruments together.

The next song "... And The World Will Go On Without You" is a great song but despite the lyrics and vocals not being drastically different from a song from a popular hard rock band, Tell me it doesn't sound like the chorus from the song "Alone I Break" by Korn.

The 3rd single and music video released for this album called "A Photic Doom". This song isn't quite as memorable as some of these other new tracks because the instruments have a cluster of noise structure as opposed to better riffs we've heard thus far. There's still no mistaking that this is indeed a Cattle Decapitation song but there's only one thing that seems to stand out about it. The classic stop and start moment during the halfway point followed by the first and only guitar solo on this entire album. I would like the spoken word section at the end of this song a lot more if it didn't sound so faded out.

"Dead End Residents" is another track on this album that seems to be another filler track that lacks a lot of quality and disappointingly enough, the same can be said for the first half of the next track "Solastalgia" with the exception of Oliver's standout bass riff. However, there's a dark and gloomy redeeming point after that when the track suddenly emanates a sense of foreboding.

The finale "Just Another Body" begins with an eerie vibe only to completely blow us all away with Cattle Decapitation giving us everything they got. Some of David's fastest drumming explodes on this one but obviously not for the entirety. There's a lot to unpack with this one with Travis further expanding his vocal prowess. From the mid-section to the conclusion, he manages to sound like a completely different person.

Instead of giving this album a numerical score like I usually do, I have decided to go with a quick tier ranking list. Out of all ten of their studio albums, I would place this one at 7th place which beats out the previous album at 8th place. 9th and 10th place go to the first 2 grindcore albums. This isn't really a bad thing because the four albums I put before it are just my favorites that I have frequently revisited over the years. Terrasite is only worth a solid honorable mention.

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."

Podcast where Gomthog and co-hosts engage in lively debates on heavy metal music as well as interviewing artists and reviewing albums.  Occasional explicit language.

Nefarious Iranian Trap Metal Producer/Vocalist God Mvker explores the bottomless depths of human existence, taking notes from Dark Trap, Ragecore, Slamming Brutal Death Metal, and Phonk.

Hailing from Hashtgerd, Iran, God Mvker offers a unique perspective of showing the darker side of life, which could potentially make him a target in his country of origin. As opposed to most heavy artists from Iran, God Mvker uses a wide variety of contemporary genres to express his unadulterated views on the true face of humanity. He also describes his many trials in life, often highlighting that humans are the most dangerous beings when pursuing their selfish ambitions.

In 2022, after signing with the first Iranian metal label, Tough Sounds, he unleashed his latest effort, Ignite Me, which centers around inner strength and how it can be a useful tool and, at the same time, can be destructive in our lives. God Mvker aspires to team up with relevant names in the Slam and Trap Metal community for his future creative efforts to make a mark in local, regional, and international scenes.
