    Shot during summer and fall 2019, this elaborate music video showcases the striking universe of Wes Benscoter's art in conjunction with the concepts brought into play by Cattle Decapitation in stunning 4K glory. The video is the culmination of a fruitful 18 year long relationship between the band and the world renown artist and is the first ever music video of his vastly expansive career, which includes having worked with such metal mainstays as Slayer, Kreator, Dio, Nile, Autopsy, Broken Hope, among many others. Having worked with him for so many years and being admirers of his 2009 award-winning short film, "Hold Your Fire", the band was honored to take this next step with him and seize this opportunity to give the world something special: an emotionally captivating short film by one of the top masters of timeless metal art.
    Cattle Decapitation's vocalist and art director Travis Ryan had this to say about this first-of-its-kind event: "When Wes told me he would be down to do a music video for us, my jaw dropped. Having a music video that is completely married to the album artwork and color palette was something I had always wanted to do but never thought it could be a reality. As you can see from our lyrics, there's not a lot of hope floating around, so when he offered up his creative hands for a music video, we snapped to it, and along the way, it became a much more formidable force by taking the form of a short film. This worked perfectly, considering the last 12 minutes of the album not only make up two tracks that become one long emotional journey with enough monolithic peaks and valleys to rival the Andes of Argentina to the Rockies of Colorado, but the tracks themselves scream for such a treatment. The scope of the video matches the scope of the album 'Death Atlas', which is meant to be listened to from beginning to the end in its entirety as is the video. Wes Benscoter has proven that he is a master of art, incorporating various mediums into one disastrously beautiful extinction-level art film."
    Wes Benscoter comments: "I've never had any real interest in doing a music video until we started planning the photos for the album layout and I thought man, this could be a great oppurtunity to make the kind of film I like. Grim, atmospheric, and topical. Created with a mix of old-school practical effects, some digital tricks and a insane amount of sand and fog. I used every trick in the book to try to do justice to Cattle's apocalyptic nightmare soundtrack."
    "Death Atlas" will purge the Earth on Black Friday, Nov. 29th, 2019 via Metal Blade Records.

    Lyrics:
    Death Atlas
    Alas, the deed is done
    Mankind has come and gone
    Carbon-based life forms reset to day one
    Fire now rages on
    We thought we had enough time to redesign through human minds
    To do our time for this life of crime, seems this is the end of the line
    We casketed hope in bureaucracy, sunk to the bottom of the sea
    Out of sight out of mind out of love for money
    We deserve everything that’s coming
    We’ll take this world to our graves
    There’s no fear for tomorrow when there’s no trust for today
    There’s no ever after… debts have to be paid
    We deserve everything that’s coming
    We took this world to our graves… we made its creatures our slaves
    Shattered the hourglass… an unerasable past…
    Humans: Demons, deranged and depraved
    We deserve everything that’s coming!
    We took this world to our graves!
    We deserve everything that’s coming!
    We took this world to our graves!
    Alas, the deed is done
    Mankind now dead and gone
    Post-anthropocene - Earth reset to day one
    Fire now rages on
    There’s no fear for tomorrow when there’s no trust for today
    There’s no ever after… debts have to be paid
    We deserve everything that’s coming
    We took this world to our graves… we made its creatures our slaves
    Shattered the hourglass… an unerasable past…
    Humans: Demons, deranged and depraved
    And I count the days ’til we expire our ways
    And I count the days ’til we expire for always
    To be alive is to survive everything….
    to make due with anything… until we die
    To be alive is to squander everything….
    to stumble towards anything… to feel alive

      Oddly makes me feel sorta the opposite, unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning of empty. For me, it threw me through a wheel of emotions, and at some points, almost makes me want to cry because it's incredible accuracy of this world we live in. Also, it seems like this song has pushed me into a self reflective state, thinking of things I've done myself carelessly, not thinking of the big consequence in the end, and want to be a better human as a whole. Overall, this is an absolutely incredible song, despite not necessarily being able to place a finger on every way its made me feel. It hits my Playlist daily, even a couple years later. Well done, Cattle Decap, always been a fan, and will be until we die 🤘

      Totally agree. 36 years old now and sick of almost every genre, every song from this album and their past two albums feels like where metal SHOULD be heading. Zero compromise in terms of brutality, but embracing change for the better. Sadly, I feel like people are totally sleeping on this album and it will probably only get the recognition it deserves years from now when people catch up.

    I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most important metal records to have ever been written, both musically and lyrically. Musically, every single second of the three songs we have heard so far compliment the pieces they are a part of perfectly and I can think of no changes to improve them. Lyrically, metal has always been about singing about your own view of the world, and Travis' words accurately instill the fear of climate change and human disaster that he is showing he feels. Important music carries weight, which is exactly what these three songs have done so far. Their previous work also deals with this, but I have a feeling Death Atlas will be cemented as one of the most important pieces of music of the last 25 years. This is art. It's scary. It's uncomfortable. And that's exactly what it should be.

      Yes, the part where you can *feel* his fear about climate change, it truly makes this piece of art as dark and brutal as the young Greta Thunberg. It is so utterly metal, to petition the UN for globalist progressives, for descendants of old world power family bloodlines from the days of European empire, to support ever-bloating governments TAXING the AIR. Truly amazing. Such brutality. Music should exactly be the spreading of fear, birthed of scientific consensus and self-employed cartoonists, that is unquestionable. To question it is heresy!

    Love that these guys aren't afraid to try new shit. Since Monolith, Cattle has really stepped up and delivered some top quality music.
    Also 10/10 goth-rock vocals, Travis. It fucking works and I'd love to hear it more in the future.

    Really impressed by the segues between the piano intro to the first riff, then to the first verse riff, etc. So many bands completely lose the atmosphere they established from one riff to the next, but it's obvious these guys' compositions are the result of careful writing, and not just sporadically lucking out from noodling on their instruments

    Death Atlas popped up in my recommended about 2 days ago. I was super hesitant because it was the last song on the album & I wanted to save it for a full album listen-through. I managed to last a few hours, but I ended up giving in lol.
    But, FUUCCKK, what a goddamn closer. For a band that started out as grindcore, the melodies this band writes are insane lmao.
    Lemme also just say, my heart kinda skipped a beat when the clean vocals came in at the end cuz my brain immediately registered it as Peter Steele's voice lol. Within the span of a second, my brain went from "IS THAT FUCKING PETER" to "Ah. Just remembered he's dead, actually. Oh, dear."
    But, anyway.
    Long story short version: this album is lookin' like it's gonna fucking rip.

    Anyways; The Anthropocene Extinction has been my favourite album since it came out and has been the strongest contender for Album Of The Decade, but from what I've heard so far, that may very well change with Death Atlas. All the singles have been absolutely breathtaking. Cattle Decapitation has evolved into something unique and something no other bands do and I fuckin' love it. "Monolith of Inhumanity", "The Anthropocene Extinction" and (hopefully) "Death Atlas" have changed how I listen to extreme music and though I rarely touch other bands in this genre, I do think Cattle Decapitation is my favourite band as of now.
