Originally Three One G’s 22nd release, “Human Jerky” is the 1999 debut album by San Diego’s most beloved and brutal death metal band, Cattle Decapitation. This iteration of the band is vocalist Travis Ryan, The Locust’s Gabe Serbian as guitarist, and Dave Astor on drums. Summoning the evil spirit of bands like Carcass and Gatekeepers like Zuul, this nonstop blastbeat onslaught encapsulates arguably the most brutal and certainly the most grindy elements of all of Cattle’s now extensive and impressive discography. This is a revelatory release for Cattle fans who might not be familiar with the band’s goregrind origins. For this repressing, remastered by Dave Otero, there will be limited edition color vinyl variants. This reissue also sees the album for the first time on Cassette.
