Originally founded in [[1996]], Cattle Decapitation's songs protest the mistreatment and human consumption of animals as well as the abuse of the [[environmentalism|environment]]. All members of the group are [[vegetarianism|vegetarians]], though their lyrics are focused on subjects such as [[misanthropy]] and the [[genocide]] of the human race. Through the use of [[macabre]] lyrical content (horror, real life lyrics about what they stand for) the members of the band represent their views on [[animal rights]] through gore-grind styled lyrics. ==Discography== {| border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- |'''Date of Release''' |'''Title''' |'''Label''' |- |1996 |''[[Ten Torments of the Damned]]'' (EP) |Self-released |- |1999 |''[[Human Jerky]]'' |[[Three One G]] |- |2000 |''[[Homovore]]'' |[[Three One G]] |- |2000 |''[[¡Decapitacion!]]'' |[[Accident Prone]] |- |2002 |''[[To Serve Man (album)|To Serve Man]]'' |[[Metal Blade Records]] |- |2004 |''[[Humanure (album)|Humanure]]'' |[[Metal Blade Records]] |- |2005 |''[[Cattle Decapitation/Caninus]] split 7"'' |War Torn Records |- |2006 |''[[Karma.Bloody.Karma.]]'' |[[Metal Blade Records]] |} ==Band members== ===Current members=== *Travis Ryan ([[Vocals]]) *Josh Elmore ([[Guitars]]) *Troy Oftedal ([[Bass guitar|Bass]]) *Dave McGraw ([[Drums]]) *Rahsaan Davis ([[International tour Bassist]]) ===Former members=== * Scott Miller ([[Guitars]] and [[Vocals]]) * Gabe Serbian ([[Guitars]]) * Dave Astor ([[Drums]]) * Kevin Talley ([[Drums|Touring Drums]]) * Michael Laughlin ( Drums ) ==External links== * [http://www.cattledecapitation.com/ Official website] * [http://www.myspace.com/cattledecapitation Cattle Decapitation] at [[MySpace]] * {{musicbrainz artist|id=0bfb489b-7da8-4b28-b144-eee7599ed1e9|name=Cattle Decapitation}} * [http://www.peta2.net/OUTTHERE/o-cattledecap.asp?c=p22159 Cattle Decapitation Exclusive Interview on peta2] [[Category:Deathgrind musical groups]] [[Category:California heavy metal musical groups]] [[Category:American vegetarians]] [[Category:San Diego musical groups]] [[cs:Cattle Decapitation]] [[de:Cattle Decapitation]] [[it:Cattle Decapitation]] [[pt:Cattle Decapitation]] [[ro:Cattle Decapitation]]
