San Diego deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation will drop their 10th studio album this spring.

Announced today, Terrasite will drop on May 12 via Metal Blade Records. For the 10-track album, the band reunited with producer Dave Otero (Allegaeon, Khemmis, Archspire). The album’s artwork was worked on by longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter (Vader, Kreator, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy). The record is dedicated to the memory of former Cattle Decapitation guitarist Gabe Serbian.

Vocalist Travis Ryan said this about the album’s interesting cover:

“We've all heard the old saying about how the cockroach is so pervasive... so invasive... so insidious... that they could survive a nuclear war... Our previous album, Death Atlas, left the world blackened and lifeless.. or so we thought. It turns out that the carbon-encrusted bodies that adorned the album's layout and music video (and that resemble the victims of Pompeii that were frozen in time by the Mt. Vesuvius disaster of 79 A.D.) were actually more of a cocoon stage for something much more vicious to come: Humanity 2.0.
On the cover we see the terrasite, aka ‘earth-eater,’ molting from its ootheca. Having lived the tortuous existence of being a human, they have now re-emerged into a new world... saddened... confused... PISSED; rebirthed as a new variant of human disease, now adapted to continue and finish the utter ravaging of its home planet, Earth.”

The first single from the record will be released soon.
