UMUR
"Homovore" is the debut full-length studio album by US, California based grindcore/death metal act Cattle Decapitation. The album was released through Three.One.G Records in 2000. It´s the successor to the "Human Jerky" EP from 1999. Despite not being more than about 3 minutes longer than "Human Jerky (1999)", "Homovore" is considered a full-length release.

Stylistically the 16 tracks on the 21:46 minutes long album are pretty raw and noisy grindcore (but also relatively varied and at times even quite creative) with politically charged and gory animal rights/anti-human lyrics. While song titles like "Open Human Head Experiments With Bleach Lacquer and Epoxy", "Colostomy Jigsaw Puzzle", "The Roadside Dead (Detrunked Stumpification Through Roadrash)", and "Bathing in a Grease Disposal Unit" do have a humourous touch to them, there are more serious meanings behind the words, than what the song titles might initially suggest.

Cattle Decapitation are a well playing act and the many tempo changes, breaks, and riffs/rhythms are delivered with great skill and conviction. The vocals by Travis Ryan varies from deep growling to high pitched screams and that part of the music is also delivered with conviction, although the vocals could have prospered from being a bit more intelligible, considering that the lyrics are actually worth reading.

"Homovore" is relatively well produced and while it´s certainly raw and noisy, it´s not a production where you aren´t able to hear details. So upon conclusion "Homovore" is a decent quality release by Cattle Decapitation and to my ears a natural progression from "Human Jerky (1999)" and also a step up in quality from that release. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
