Cattle Decapitation have confirmed that they will enter the studio in January/February to begin recording their new album. The band will track the effort at Denver, CO’s Flatline Audio with producer/engineer Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Trivium) at the helm.
The group will also test out some of the new material at a number of shows on their way to the studio, you can find those dates below.
Meanwhile, guitarist Josh Elmore offered the following on the outing:
“As it comes down to the home stretch before recording, we have been focusing on getting the last two songs written as well as refining and tightening the tracks which are already completed. The overwhelming impression I get from this new batch of tunes is that they have benefitted greatly from a more streamlined approach to composition and song structure. A lot of these songs are very “to-the-point” with just enough embellishment to keep them dynamic, whilst avoiding sinking into some bells-and-whistles mire. Lean and mean.
There will be no forays in 8-string djentiness and none of us bought v-neck shirts or deck shoes to “modernize” our sound and look, respectively. Expect some riffy, ripping blackened deathgrind with nods to our past work and tastes of what’s to come. These songs are going to be a blast to play live and we are anxious to have these recorded and get on the road to play them for you.”
