UPCOMING CATTLE DECAPITATION SHOWS! NEW ALBUM WRITING IN PROGRESS!!!
posted by Travis Ryan on 05-07-2008 16:36

For immediate release

Dated: May 6, 2008

Cattle Decapitation to debut new songs in June to live audiences!

After 6 months of hibernating constructing new songs for their upcoming album due late in the year via Metal Blade Records, CATTLE DECAPITATION will schedule a week worth of dates to debut the new material in front of a live audience. These new songs will feature the most recent addition and talent of David McGraw to the song writing process.

Vocalist Travis Ryan commented on the new material
“The guys have been writing like crazy, we're already
4 songs in! I've got lyrics to a couple and we'll be
playing ‘em at the upcoming shows! All I can say is
this new stuff is completely insane. We have reached a
new level of intensity that in my opinion completely
annihilates anything we've ever done. That goes for
the first 2 Cattle records as well! Just too damn
intense for words... you gotta come check it out for
yourself!”

The dates are listed below.


June 18 The Jensen Mainstage Santa Barbara, CA
June19 The Castle Soledad, CA
June 20 Annie’s Social Club San Francisco, CA
June 21 The Boardwalk Orangevale, CA
June 22 The Kung Fu Corner Westlake Village, CA
