Only two of them from what I know. They're ridiculous with their music and their message.


I have a couple of albums... From what I'm aware of they're very tongue in cheek about it.

Maybe, but the fact is two of them don't eat meat. Not that I care, just to have a full image of the band.

Phew! It has taken me forever to read through this thread in one go but it's been very interesting and well worth the time.

There's one thing that worries me that no one has put a question mark after though.
Something that The Pessimist wrote, I quote -
 "Let's also take the Maori tribe. A dying race of folk now, but they currently and always have engaged in cannibalism".

Now, I'm saving up to visit New Zealand next winter but this made me think. Cannibals are scary folks and if they currently roam the streets of Aukland, well...LOL
On the other hand, if that's the only alternative to Quorn, then maybe... LOL

Taken a little out of context, but yeah that is a fact. Read "The Horrid Practise", it goes into the subject up until the 19th century. Of course now Maori descendents that practise in cannibalism are very few and far between, if not non-existent. The "currently" bit was bullsh*t I admit, I was mid-rant though so forgive me

I know. Just look at their album covers, especially Humanure.

To be honest, Humanure is another level of repulsive, even by death metal standards

btw, Carcass is another metal band with (some) vegetarian members.

I found this quote from an interview with bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker on the site Invisible Oranges, when asked about the vegetarian content of some of the music on their songs. Perhaps a different approach than what Cattle Decapitation does with their music.

(I "bleeped" one word to get it onto this site.) Just something to skim over...

Jeff Walker:
Maybe we’re just playing to our strengths with the gore, the vegetarian thing, the medical stuff. But at the same time it’s all tongue-in-cheek. We’re making light of what people’s perceptions are of us as a band. It’s true, Bill and I don’t eat meat, but this has never been an agenda. Like you said, Nuclear Blast mentioned it in an email—why? It seems like all these bands try to have some angle or agenda to sell records. I remember when we first signed to Combat in the States, they wanted to make a big deal of it. If we had been more shrewd and cynical and collaborate then we would have. It’s something that’s private. We aren’t really interested in doing PETA adverts and that bull****. That would alienate people. We aren’t on some kind of zealous mission to convert people to vegetarianism. That’s not what it’s about.

But you are correct. Lyrically, maybe, I am purposefully, sarcastically taking the piss out of these things. Ultimately, it’s all there. If you think about it, no matter what your diet is, you can’t argue that the whole process of slaughtering cattle in a slaughterhouse is pretty horrific, regardless if it makes a tasty burger or not. There is no denying that the process of killing and butchering an animal is a horrific process. Most Carcass lyrics are about the macabre, or horror, so I’m taking something that exists in reality and celebrating it I guess.
