Bereits nächsten Freitag bringen Cattle Decapitation ihr brandneues Studioalbum „Death Atlas“ auf den Markt. Wer sich die Wartezeit bis dahin gerne noch ein bisschen vertreiben möchte, kann das jetzt mit einem Kurzfilm der Band tun.

Was? Ja, richtig gelesen. Die Kombo präsentierte nun ihren bandeigenen Kurzfilm „The Unerasable Past“, der gleichzeitig als Visualisierung des Titeltracks der neuen Scheibe fungiert. Gedreht wurde das Ganze von Wes Benscoter.

Doppelt gute Neuigkeiten als für Fans der Band. Wer nun zehn Minuten Zeit hat, kann sich den Kurzfilm und den neuen Song weiter unten zu Gemüte führen.

Frontmann Travis Ryan kommentierte das umfangreiche Projekt wie folgt:

„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.“

Benscoter war in der Vergangenheit auch an weiteren Projekten von Cattle Decapitation beteiligt.

„Death Atlas“ erscheint am 29. November und markiert den nunmehr achten Longplayer der Band. Neben dem Titeltrack sind bereits die Singles „One Day Closer To The End Of The World“ und „Bring Back The Plague“ veröffentlicht worden.

The video is the culmination of a fruitful 18 year long relationship between the band and world renown artist Wes Benscoter 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. 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.

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."
