Death Atlas is the eighth studio album by American deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation. Released on 29 November, 2019 via Metal Blade Records. Its release coincided with Black Friday and comes more than four years after their previous studio album, 2015's The Anthropocene Extinction. It is the band's first album to feature second guitarist Belisario Dimuzio and new bassist Olivier Pinard. At just under 55 minutes, it is also their longest album to date. Death Atlas was recorded at Denver's Flatline Audio with producer Dave Otero. Album artwork is by Wes Benscoter. Vocalist Travis Ryan comments: "We have crafted what we feel is our strongest album to date", (...) "Musically and lyrically, there is a lot of grief, anger, hate, passion, and emotion poured into this one". Prior to the album release, the band co-headlined the 2019 Summer Slaughter Tour. Lead single "One Day Closer to the End of the World" was released September 5th, 2019. "Bring Back the Plague" was released October 3rd, followed by title track "Death Atlas" on November 20th. On April 1st, 2020, a music video for "Bring Back the Plague" was released, coinciding with and related to the COVID-19 hysteria. The humorous video poked fun at overreactions to the virus and featured shortages of toilet paper and the band being locked in their homes. The ironic timing of the song helped it become an internet meme and has led to it becoming their most successful song to date. User-contributed text is available under the C
