The Carbon Stampede Lyrics

Disaster comes in waves
Time in hunting us, running us down
With a smoking gun pointed at our faces
Predators of the self and ecologically homicidal maniacs
Killing machines
Transfixed on ruining everything

Pale horse on the horizon
the blood of billions staining the scythe
manufactured eventuality
Decreasing quality of life

Death emissions
Born dead only to suffocate

Mass depletions
Karmic, modern day extinctions

Life less meaning
Equals nothingness
Never was

Keep on dreaming
we are, always were... the problem

Dam the embracers of neutrality... fellow future fossils

Vine-like tentacles like insidious weeds
Ensnaring the earth, enacting the deeds
Of utter virulence of disregard of consequence
The vainest organism on the fucking coffin earth

Death emissions
Born only to suffocate

Mass depletions
Karmic modern day extinctions


Here they come, the ones we've been waiting for
Here they come, the ones that will destroy the earth
Here they come, the ones that bring pestilence and war
Here they come, the ones that bring famine and death

Cattle Decapitation are an American deathgrind band from San Diego, California.

Originally founded in 1996, Cattle Decapitation's songs protest the mistreatment and consumption of animals as well as the abuse of the environment. Lyrics may also focus on subjects such as misanthropy and genocide of the human race. Much of their music is based on putting humans in the situations that animals are subjected to (animal testing, slaughter, etc).

Their 2002 album To Serve Man saw controversy in Germany, where distribution company SPV refused to handle the album due to its graphic cover. The cover of the 2004 album Humanure, featuring a cow excreting human remains, was reportedly censored without permission from the label in some outlets. Record store owners did not display the album, making it difficult for customers to find and buy it.

Former member Gabe Serbian is a member of the band The Locust.

Metal author and journalist Garry Sharpe-Young once acknowledged the band as "one of the few metal bands whose message hits as hard as their music."

Cattle Decapitation has toured with many death metal bands including Suffocation, Cryptopsy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide, Behemoth, Hate Eternal, Krisiun, and Job For A Cowboy. Their album The Harvest Floor was released in 2009.

The band has been cited repeatedly for being an early influence to bands such as Job For A Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder as well as a legion of "deathcore" hopefuls.

In August 2009, Cattle Decapitation parted ways with long-time bassist Troy Oftedal because of musical and personal differences.

Their 2012 album, Monolith of Inhumanity, was met with positive reviews upon release for introducing a more melodic tone - ultimately skyrocketing the band's influence and engaging a new audience. Their latest album, The Anthropocene Extinction, received the same feedback, with Metacritic giving it an 86/100. The Anthropocene Extinctions's lyrical content follows their normal style of the effects of mankind's influence on the environment, such as the Great Pacific garbage patch. Read more on Last.fm.
