California, USA death/grind warriors CATTLE DECAPITATION have unleashed an exclusive new video for the track “Kingdom of Tyrants” on BLOODY DISGUSTING.CATTLE DECAPITATION's “Kingdom of Tyrants” is a track from the bands anticipated new release entitled "Monolith of Inhumanity" due to be unleashed 5/8/2012 on METAL BLADE RECORDS.
FROM CATTLE DECAPITATION:
Today prime horror one-stop, Bloody Disgusting, hosts the exclusive
premiere of “Kingdom of Tyrants” from CATTLE DECAPITATION’s forthcoming
Monolith Of Inhumanity studio offering. The disturbingly twisted
9-minute mini-film was directed by Mitch Massie with live band footage
shot in San Marcos, California by Tyson Montrucchio.
Comments
singer Travis Ryan: "We've kicked around the idea of doing a mini-film
out of a song that has a big intro for years now and when I saw Mitch
Massie's work on one of our friends' videos, we knew he would be the one
to pull it off. We had no idea he would bring it to a level such as
this though. The ‘Kingdom of Tyrants’ mini-film completely leveled our
expectations. Having given him director styles I would have liked to see
used such as Matthew Barney, Harmony Korine and Ridley Scott, I still
never assumed we would have received something so in line with what we
had in mind for this as what you see here with this video. It's
disturbing. It’s thought-provoking. It’s 100% CATTLE DECAPITATION and in
the direction we've been heading. Massie is the man and this is by far
the best video we've ever had the pleasure to be a part of."
Adds director Mitch Massie: "I acknowledge that I will rightfully burn
in some subdivision of Hell for even attempting a rough tribute to
Kubrick, but at least I will make Hell a home with CATTLE DECAPITATION
and a few other damned risk-takers as neighbors. When Travis and I spoke
about the concept it was a comforting fact that he too had reservations
about picking fruits from the Kubrick tree. It wasn't until the first
night of production was over and we sat down to watch the shaky rough
footage when a rather sardonic thought sparked the flint that ignited
the funeral pyre in me, ‘fuck it, while we are here, as parts of our
generation that dry-humps references in an over-saturated landfill of
technological trinkets -- where nothing is sacred -- anyway, we might as
well bury the rest of the masters in the filth they inspired in us and
enter our homes justified. I'm a soulless ginger anyway so what do I
care about these new risks of damnation when I never had a chance to
begin with?’ Every move made in a music video production is dictated
only by the song and when listening to the ‘The Monolith’ and/or
‘Kingdom of Tyrants’ can one truly feel it is anything but a beautiful
damnation? I will never know but can only hope that I married images
with the song so well that the monolith may swing back around with a
chance to evolve, or completely de-evolve into some foul animal, and do
another damned project for this incendiary and all around amazing band."

An achievement that stands out as one of the most volatile, ambitious,
and impossible-to-pigeonhole records of 2012, Monolith Of Inhumanity is
set for a North American release on May 8, 2012. Produced by Dave Otero
of Denver's Flatline Audio, the 11-track recording sees the progressive
grind purveyors exploring innovative new techniques in song writing
without abandoning their signature formula of confrontational audio
wreckage. In addition, Monolith Of Inhumanity features a host of guests
including Mike Majewski of Devourment (guest vocals on "Projectile
Ovulation"), Lenard Leal of Cephalic Carnage (backing vocals by on "A
Living, Breathing Piece of Defecating Meat"), The Cephalic Carnage
Community Men's Choir, consisting of all current Cephalic members and
alumni Jawsh Mullen and Zac Joe (gang choir vocals on "The Carbon
Stampede"), and ambient and noise interludes by Los Angeles' most
extreme decimator of sound, John Wiese. As with all of the band’s
releases, Monolith Of Inhumanity revolves around a central concept,
building upon Ryan’s potent distaste for contemporary civilization and
the damage wrought in the name of progress. A concept inspired in part
by 2001: A Space Odyssey is once again captured in the cover art by
longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter, depicting a bleak apocalyptic
future and the regression of mankind into apes.
