CATTLE DECAPITATION Seeking 'Normal-Looking' Extras For New Video

San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION have issued the following update:

"We will be filming the rest of the 'Regret & the Grave' video (this is the 'storyline part') in the Burbank/northern Los Angeles area and we can use the following regular, everyday, 'normal-looking folks': moms, dads, kids, old people, teens...of all races, colors. Basically, as long as you are walking upright and speak a language understood by other same species on earth, we may be able to use you as an extra in our video. BUT THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT SO PLEASE READ: Unfortunately, we cannot really use folks that look too 'metal', 'punk', 'crusty', 'goth', 'scene kids', etc... BUT if you match that description and have very 'normal, everyday' kind of friends or family, then we can definitely consider that.

"The reason we have those stipulations is because we are basically in a way going to recreate what is going on in the image on the cover of our upcoming album, 'The Harvest Floor', and that is why we need an eclectic mix of people, not just a bunch of metal and punk kids.

"No, there is no money involved!!! Yes, we're asking for your free time!!!

"We need roughly ten people and there will be a meeting location where we meet and then proceed to the filming location. You will be responsible for your own transportation.

"Again, we're looking for normal, everyday people. Do not be offended if we say no!"

The "Regret & the Grave" video is being helmed by director Gary Smithson (HIGH ON FIRE, PRONG, GOATWHORE).

CATTLE DECAPITATION recently posted a new song, "The Gardeners of Eden", on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off "The Harvest Floor", which is scheduled for release on January 20 in North America; January 30 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy; and February 2 throughout the rest of Europe via Metal Blade Records. An e-card for the album can be found at this location.

The drum tracks for "The Harvest Floor" were laid down with Zach
Ohren (ALL SHALL PERISH, DECREPIT BIRTH) before the rest of the instruments were recorded and the entire thing was mixed with producer Billy Anderson (MR. BUNGLE, MELVINS, SWANS) at Sharkbite studios in Oakland, California.

According to the group, "Sonically, the band has managed to finally capture and accentuate its live intensity that we've become known for and has created one hell of an album from start to epic finish! Conceptually, its misanthropy shall go unmatched. This is it, humans... ferocity at its finest."

Regarding the album title and packaging, the band states, "The actual title refers to the area of a slaughterhouse where the animal (of course in our case it always means the HUMAN) begins the agonizing process of death, usually done with a bolt to the forehead or a slice to the throat. 'The Harvest Floor' is a fitting title for an album laden in gore and the anti-human metaphors and sentiments CATTLE DECAPITATION fans have grown to know and love. Artwork [see below] by Wes Benscoter shows the outside of a large slaughterhouse/factory of doom and gloom with the general public being herded inside to meet their demise. The inside of the album layout reveals what's really inside that slaughterhouse: our misanthropic heroes of GORE (not core) at another hard day of work! Combined with the amazing artwork and conceptually brutal layout, 'The Harvest Floor' also contains an enhanced portion which sports an iPod-ready documentary titled 'Pandemic: The Damnation Epic - The Making of “The Harvest Floor' which, simply put, makes 'The Harvest Floor' an apocalyptic multimedia epic!

"The Harvest Floor" track listing:

01. The Gardeners of Eden
02. A Body Farm
03. We are Horrible People
04. Tooth Enamel & Concrete
05. The Ripe Beneath the Rind
06. The Product Alive

08. Into the Public Bath
09. The Harvest Floor

The CD features guest vocal appearances by Ross Sewage (IMPALED, LUDICRA) and Dino Sommese (DYSTOPIA, ASUNDER). There is alsoa special appearance by Jarboe (SWANS),lending her beautifully haunting voice to the epic death dirge "The Harvest Floor". Jackie Perez Gratz (GRAYCEON, AMBER ASYLUM) graces a couple tracks with her electric cello and Los Angeles noisician John Wiese also lends his electronic/atmospheric expertise to the album, further separating the band from the typical "cookie-cutter" approach applied all too often by today's extreme acts.
