People of earth,

*It is time to announce a few things that have been going on in the Cattle Decapitation camp. First off, we have officially parted ways with bassist Troy Oftedal due to musical and personal differences. There is no bad blood and we wish him the best of luck. Filling in on upcoming tours will be our friend Rahsaan Davis. You may have seen him on our recent tour as Troy left tour early due to a physical ailment.
On to tours… We’ll be hitting the road in late September with Soulfly, Prong and Mutiny Within for a US tour! Starting in our neck of the woods, the tour will lead us across the country, along the east coast and back home. We have a handful of dates already and there are more on the way!

We’re also working on dates for a EUROPEAN tour! We expect that it will happen in the early winter months and we’ll keep you posted on that… Check back to our websites for details as they unfold!

In other news…

*Plastichead/Candlelight Itunes:

AVAILABLE AUG. 17TH!

Don't Kill The Animals - Nebelhexe and Jarboe (also featuring Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation)

This is a re-make of the 80's hit by Nina Hagen and Lene Lovich. Nebelhexe says she always loved the song and the message, and thus really wanted to do a modern cover version of it. She wants to remind us of a great song and a great message. She thus invited US artist Jarboe (ex-Swans) to join the project. Jarboe suggested Travis Ryan from Vegan death-metal band Cattle Decapitation to be a part of it as well. The song was arranged in the studio of Daniel Hill, who also plays with the electro-pop act Magenta. The result is a catchy club version that surely will fill many dance-floors as well as raise awareness for the ethical treatment of animals. 

Bonus songs:
- Living Trash - Nebelhexe
This is a song about the ghastly animal industry from Nebelhexe's album 'Essensual'.
- Fallen (Angel) - Nebelhexe
A song from her new album 'Dead Waters'. 

AVAILABLE AUG. 17TH!
