Cattle Decapitation Parts with Bassist
Cattle Decapitation has announced the departure of bassist Oli Pinard, who has chosen to focus on Cryptopsy. Diego Soria of Broken Hope will be filling in for their current tour, but no announcement has been made beyond that. Here's the statement from the band:
Its a somber day in the Cattle camp as we must announce the departure of our bass player and buddy, Olivier Pinard. Oli has decided his focus must shift back to his home band Cryptopsy and his personal life. Being in two touring bands is very demanding on a human and while we are sad to see him go, we more than understand. We wish Oli the best of luck and be sure to check out the new song they just dropped and pick up their new album when it comes out!
Filling in for the upcoming EU tour will be our friend Diego Soria of Broken Hope. You may have seen him on the Chaos And Carnage tour and multiple other tours and shows over the years when he's stepped up and filled in for us.

Broken Hope Releases "Outback Incest Clan" Video
Chicago's Broken Hope recently released the seventh studio album "Mutilated and Assimilated" via Century Media Records. The album pays tribute to John Carpenter's classic film "The Thing" and John W. Campbell Jr's short story "Who Goes There."
In further celebration of "Mutilated and Assimilated" release, the band has prepared a new music video for the pummeling single, "Outback Incest Clan", which can be seen below.
Guitarist Jeremy Wagner commented: "What's in a name? Our song titles usually say a lot, and OUTBACK INCEST CLAN should tell you what's in store. I got the idea for the subject matter straight from our sick vocalist, Damian Leski, who has can given me a few lyrical ideas. This song is based on TRUE EVENTS! I'll give you the Wikipedia lowdown: It's about the 'Colt family incest case,' dubbed by media as the 'Colt incest clan,' an Australian family discovered in 2012 to have been engaging in four generations of incest beginning with 'Tim and June Colt,' a brother and sister who emigrated from New Zealand in the 1970s. The family grew to nearly 40 members ranging from grandparents to mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, nephews, brothers and sisters all engaging in various forms of incest. Many of the children suffered from deformities and medical problems. More...
