Cattle Decapitation

Death Atlas

Finish Them

---

Vocals

Honestly these vocals surprised me. That high singing part was unexpected and very high. The pig squeals were limited enough that they made sense. It took me a few listens to decide I like the variety.

Music

I am a fan of double kick so I enjoyed the fast pacing. But this song also had slower moments which made sense. The guitar didn't seem overly complicated. The guitar had some squealy parts which I like. This all worked.

These lyrics are clearly talking about how horrible humans are! We absolutely have burned people alive. We have treated each other like garbage! 

The song name makes me think of Mortal Kombat, "Finish him!".

Fire! On the horizon
Incineration of a species
The cremation of a disease
With flame and gases reducing to ashes
Entire nations - all human communities
Poisoning everything - stripped of all immunities
This is the way we deal with our own kind
Self-destructing power of the human mind
