"Solastalgia is a term coined by Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2003. It describes a form of emotional or existential distress that is experienced by individuals when they witness the negative environmental changes in their home or familiar surroundings. Unlike traditional forms of nostalgia, which involve a longing for a specific time or place from the past, solastalgia is about the distress caused by the degradation of one's environment in the present. Solastalgia is often associated with the impact of environmental changes, such as deforestation, climate change, or industrial development, on a person's sense of place and well-being. It can manifest as a feeling of powerlessness, grief, and a sense of loss as the landscape or environment that once provided comfort and familiarity is altered or destroyed. It's closely linked to the broader field of ecopsychology, which explores the relationship between human psychology and the natural environment. In essence, solastalgia highlights the psychological and emotional toll that environmental degradation and change can have on individuals, especially when these changes are occurring in the places they call home. It serves as a reminder of the intricate connection between the environment and human well-being."

This band has really evolved into something so big and beautiful. We couldn't have predicted. They should enjoy this success and can't wait to see what's more in store in the future.

I think we can all agree that Cattle Decap is one of the best modern Death Metal bands.

Feel this way when the woods i grew up in were replaced by a factory and parking lot for semi trucks.

I can't believe how this band keeps peaking so far into their career. They really are something.

I went to school for and now work in sustainability. I hope to play a part in preventing the world from turning into this anymore than it already is. Bands like Cattle Decapitation play a MASSIVE part in inspiring me to pursue this work as well as to push through all the despair and anger which essentially boil down to: solastalgia. Thank you, Cattle Decapitation for you music, lyrics, videos, and absolutely phenomenal live shows.

Death Atlas was one of my favorite metal albums ever, but Terrasite has gone even beyond that. It's absolutely beautiful in its composition. And as a bass player of 32 years, I'm at least somewhat qualified to say that Olivier Pinard is absolutely one of the best in the business. Fucking incredible.

Enjoy with lyrics! Lyrics: Feast your eyes on our only future Neglected, faded and falling apart Watching the world you know disintegrate Catch fire, situation already dire Consequences now fulfilled from two centuries past Worlds behind In the rearview reflects a clear view of tomorrow Veiled, draped in sorrow Jailed, unshaped and hollow Old world has vanished Expired To our minds we are banished Inside Forever This is our world now Trapped in the self with no way out What the fuck did we do? What the fuck did we think we could prove? Life is torture Life is torture Life is torture The slowest suffering We had our hopes We fashioned our ropes From which we now swing in the breeze They didn't work We went berserk Trying in vain just to be put at ease The winds of solastalgia Blowing the embers of past transgressions Burning our faces Leaving a charred world Devoid of hope The greatest depression And our dishonorable discharge Forever recorded In our DNA we left behind For we discarded That which reminds Nigh The end of hope The solastalgia Evil nostalgia of better times The end of hope Lament together Despair forever, lose our minds The end of hope The solastalgia Evil nostalgia of better times The end of hope Lament together Despair forever, lose our minds

Probably the most exciting band in the industry for the last few years, long may it continue.

If you told me that Cattle Decap would turn into this after listening to their first album, I would have laughed at you. Yet here I am saying they are on of the best metal bands right now.

Cattle Decapitation has really captured the sound of the hopelessness and despair I’ve felt watching the nature would disappear in my lifetime. It’s such a sad and beautiful track.

Death Atlas and Terrasite are just masterpiece’s ♥️

Masterpiece of an album.

The look on Travis' face when he says "the greatest depression" sent me chills like he's frightened and uneasy of what we become

That last scene is art.

Awesome to see them live. Best concert I've been to in years!

Cattle Decap has been a core band in my musical travels ever since discovering metal over 20 years ago. I was introduced with 'Regret and The Grave' and was enamoured by their emotion and power in their music. Through Harvest Floor, Monolith, Anthropocene Extinction, Death Atlas and now Terrasite, along with many live shows, I always loved seeing their amazing development and effort they put into their music. Every single time I thought they made the perfect verse, song, album, they kill it with the next. I hope we get to enjoy Cattle Decap for many years to come, as it is one of the few bright spots in an ever spiraling world.

The last part is so touching and emotional, it makes me cry everytime I'm listening Travis sings with his "clean voice". He has this particular way to make us feel this emotion within ourselves. I just see how all the band (guitarists, bassist, drummer and Travis) just are joined to make this amazing touching sounds into the gutural way with a beautiful end. It's just incredible! And it's not only this song, there's a lot of songs of them like this one. Great band! It's simple, I just love them!

Cattle Decap is generally considered death metal but I feel these guys have evolved into their own genre. Any other bands and particularly other vocalists that sound like this are simply riding the coattails of these guys. This band created a sound that will certainly be influential for a long time. Cattle Decap are one of the most innovative bands to come out in a very long time.

Hello, I’m the Solastalgia Critic; I remember it so you don’t have to

Love Travis' theatrics. His expressions and demeanor is so engrossed with the music.

I LOVE when Travis hits you with that PURE singing yell he does. Good god the level of intensity he brings. Fckin brutally beautiful.

Cattle Decapitation has such a personal sound, touch, riffing, and style that it has become one of these bands that are immediately recognizable : you hear a few notes and you can say "yep, that's Cattle Decap !" Great video for a fantastic track from a killer album ! Can't wait to see them live again !

Just listened to this song for the first time. Holy shit! This is awesome!

RIP Travis' beard 🖤

Good song about longing for a world that we loved that is now gone forever. This is meaningful music. Thank you CD.

my favourite track of the album! ❤

beyond words. so great to see a video for this one

I really would like to thank my cousin for putting me on with this Band. He showed me Death Atlas Album, Death Atlas being one of the first songs. At first I thought it wasn’t gonna stick with me cause I’m so used to like Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal 🤘🏼, R&B, (Breaking Benjamin, Metallica, Drake, John Legend) The build up and then the Hit of the Song Mid way through it was just an instant classic and hit. I checked out another few songs like Time’s Cruel Curtain, The Geocide, those just made me more hooked. When Terrasite Album released the first song was Scourge of the Offspring I honestly don’t know how many times we listened to it but lol it was around 12pm at night blasting it on the JBL SPEAKER. Man I tell you the bass, the guitar solo, I’d say the last min and thirty of the song was just brutal and so intense. Then the album released and my absolute top 3 favorite songs were Solastagia- 💥💥💥 A Photic Doom - 🔥 Scourge of the Offspring- 🔥💥 Solastagia is a song that is just incredible and intense. It has that powerful melody and just from start to finish it brings the meaning of Holy Shit. Loved the bass part like around 1:45 that part is just 😳😳😳 and then 2:36 is 🔥🔥😭😭 just elegant and brutal at the same time and it builds up to 3:55 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥THE END OF HOPE, LAMENT TOGETHER, DESPAIR FOREVER, LOSE OUR MINDS! Thanks Again brother @sinisterspawn this really helps with my mental state and brings me to just in my own world and makes me feel intense. Sounds pretty corny but this type of music helps people that’s gone through some rough shit and I’d tell you it just connects.

Cheers to Mr. Brodsky for the AMAZING cinematography. It's their best looking viseo by far!

Ouroboros of bones in the final

spotify recomend me this band like a month ago, im a metalhead so ill give them a try, atm im lovin terrasite so much, the groove, the lyrics, everything, they depict the times we are living so fken precisely. great fken band

This is easily one of 2023s best albums

Great song, awesome video. I can't get enough!🙌😍🔥

I am looking forward to it.

3:55. That vocal hits so fucking hard. Even more once you realized the meaning of it. That shit is powerfull!

God I love these guys. Found them through Death Atlas. Never forgot the first time I listened to that. And they never fail to impress me each time. Truly top tier

I think I could count with one hand the bands that the THE BANDS that make a whole difference in Metal Music and these guys are one of them. Master's in their Class.

This takes such a powerfully emotional song to the next level. Great job guys

I'm so glad that we got a video for this song!! I pre-ordered the "Winds of Solastalgia" vinyl just based off of the looks of it. Then it actually turned out to be my favorite song off the new album. It seems like it rarely happens, but I love it when stuff just works out like that!!

🤘🏽🤘🏽 Nothing but respect and love here.

Solastalgia is something I feel every day as a logger. I'm the one responsible for what I chose to do. I also felt this guilt while I watched a wildfire burn everything around my home up to my doorstep. I have my home, but I live in a barren wasteland now.

Song of year on album of the year

Oh that voice......🤘🖤🤘

Travis, you are the best, your song is killing me sofly and makes me cry everytime I hear this... I can feel your concerns and love about the environment, the animals and the earth... Thank you...

Next Level has been achieved. Phenomenal growth in sound and performance. 🤘😝🤘

Aggressive and forceful, yet mellifluous and emotional. This is why I love Cattle Decapitation 🤘🏻

Amazing!! The entire New album is beyond words!

video is sick af!!!

C Ya in Hamburg this month! You are one of my absolutely favorites.

Best band in metal right now and I don't think it's even close, in my personal opinion.

Fucking gold! I can't wait yo 🔥

Such a killer song with a deeply impactful message. It speaks to me on an emotional level even as it melts my face off.

Absolutely one of my favorite bands ever. They've come so far since I picked up the release of Bloody Karma. Can't wait to see them for the 4th time in November!

Cattle D…you just gained a fan for life ..absolutely outstanding…!

These last two albums have been absolutely BLISTERING

best Part 03:23 man that guitar Riff with travis's screams ...gives me everytime goosebumps❤

This song is too underrated 🤟

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

That bass line @ 1:46 omg

Holy shit Brian Slagel… Song of the Year! Album of the Year!

What an incredible masterpiece song and video.

This is probably their best song coming from Terrasite. It's such a dark, doom and self accepting darkness in it. Basically saying and admitting: "We destroyed ourselves, and for why?" It really hits to the core of the soul, knowing everyone's hopes and souls were destroyed along with ourselves, and for what reason? For what good?

Your music just gets better and better year after year... Keep the grind up Brothers 🤘🤘

These guys keep getting better. I think they sound better live than anything. Definitely no end in sight for them ✊🏼🔥

Love you guys. I enjoy this album more that the previous; but either way it's always great to have new music and videos to vibe to. GOATs!

This has become one of my favorite Bands. Travis' Lyrics are so deep & eye opening. These guys are legends.

One of my favorite songs from the new album. Amazing video! CD are simply at another level both sonically and visually with their story telling.

I've been listening to these guys for many years they just keep getting better

This is one of my fav songs on the album. It's beautiful. Cattle is my favorite band. Can't wait to see y'all in San Antonio next month.

This is such a powerful song and the music video did it justice

Life is torture 😊 one of my favorite off the new album. Can’t wait to see them in December

The calmness and acceptance in Travis’s face as he says “the end of hope” is haunting and familiar. This song is powerful, gorgeous, and relatable. I feel this on a visceral level.

This bands last 3 albums have been incredible. Seriously good work from cattle decap!

The evolution of Cattle is a pleasure to watch (and hear). This is absolutely amazing

BROOO's thank you for sending metal in the right direction!!! clean powerful non messy and not show off, embracing true potential with every member.

I always love it when I stumble across a band whose work I'm not familiar with. These guys are great!

I have bouts of depressive helplessness hearing abnormal amounts of rain fall on my roof. I am uncomfortable at the Christmas dinner table as I think about the last white Christmas. I get terrified seeing birds build nests in January. I miss when everything seemed okay. I am suffering from solastalgia.

This is one of the few songs that captures the feelings of developing chronic dyspnea as a breathing disease, thanks guys!

Cant stop. Wont stop. Big props to Cattle Decapitation for another sick album. Those highs are gnarly 🤘

Yay 😍

This just happened to release on my birthday. Thank you Cattle Decap for the awesome birthday gift! 🤘

I love these guys! They always did a wonderful and meaningful job. Even that I distance myself from metal bands, I feel like I always will be open to listen to their new works. (same with Anaal Nathrakh, Meshuggah, Napalm Death and other few bands)

life is tuurchuuurrre ehhhh. best part

This is....Oh, Fuck...its...something incredible!

62 years old and still love this music. This is one band that continues to impress and keep the music type interesting and cutting edge. So good live. Saw them in PDX and would have loved a longer set.... !

This is the album of the year!!!!!

These guys are in my top 3 of all time. F'ing killer 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Epic. I might cry when I see them in December. Cattle Decap is perfect. 🤘🏻

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! AWESOME!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

The Drums and Bass are insane on this & the Vocals are too!!

I’ve been a metal head most of my 42 years but avoided the more extreme end (for the most part) for a good chunk of that time. I’ve only been listening to extreme stuff for like 4 years. These guys definitely helped guide me into this world and I love them for it.

you have put to words what i have felt for years! never knew what to call it before

This is why i love cattle decapitation! This is a band that pushes themselves musically every album for the last 10+ years and never disappoints.

Love the melodies they’re incorporating into their music!

Man, the guitar riff at 03:25… I feel my soul leaving my body ❤❤❤❤ So uplifting. Evokes such euphoric emotions

Absolute banger from a great album!

This made my day. Still wish I had Tardis so I could watch it now!

*To see how far Cattle has come it's truly impressive! You talk about being experimental in all the right departments, incorporating new styles, to your song writing all while sticking to your roots and turning them into something bigger. This is how you do it! Sometimes you gotta take the right risks and give something new a try, Cattle opened a new door by switching things up, and went on to create some beautiful masterpieces of modern metal!*

Travis is a very good performer and actor.
