The San Diego based deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation have, somehow, raised the bar for disgustingly brutal videos once again with the release of the CENSORED version of “Clandestine Ways (Krokodil Rot),” from their most recent album The Anthropocene Extinction, released via Metal Blade Records. Yes, the video is censored, still NSFW, and still very disgusting. Apparently the release of the uncensored version is soon to come, so you’ll have time to desensitize yourself with this version for awhile.
The video was directed by Mitch Massie, who also directed their video for “Your Disposal.” What can we say, the guy has an eye for gore. It premiered on Bloody Disgusting, the one place that has always been brave enough to premier their videos since the very beginning.
When discussing the video, vocalist Travis Ryan had this to say about it:
“Mitch Massie once again hurls us into a nightmarish world of the eye-for-an-eye table turning that Cattle Decapitation lyrics exude, but this time in a much more surreal manner. Here we see the circus has come to town and with it a grisly ‘freaks’ exhibit featuring the barbaric aftermath of what the protagonists (the ‘Ringmaster’ and a freed ‘specimen’) have done to the leading researchers at Cosmeugenics Laboratories – a place where Cosmetics testing is performed on earthen creatures all in the name of Human vanity – but this time by completely incorrectly administering the clandestine, flesh-eating drug ‘krokodil’. I’ll leave out the horrific details as you’ll have to see that for yourself!”
Despite the video being the censored version, it is still very NSFW. Seriously, you’re about to watch gore, violence, nudity, torture, and a visual representation of Cattle Decapitation lyrics. You’ve been warned!
