Cattle Decapitation Leading the Deathgrind Revolution

San Antonio will host one of the year’s most unforgiving metal lineups when Cattle Decapitation headlines Vibes Event Center on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Backed by a bill that includes Aborted, Frozen Soul, and Tribal Gaze, the night is set to explore the extremes of death metal, grindcore, and modern heaviness—without compromise.

Following their Terrasite campaign and the recent release of a behind-the-scenes documentary on its creation, Cattle Decapitation continues to build on the dissonant urgency that defines their latest material . The documentary—released earlier this year—spotlights the environmental and existential themes that have fueled their evolution beyond traditional deathgrind, pushing toward a sound marked by apocalyptic theatricality and blistering pace.

Belgium’s Aborted brings decades of brutal technicality, tapping into their deep discography that has remained a fixture in the global extreme metal scene since the late ’90s. Paired with Frozen Soul, whose ice-cold brand of Texas death metal has earned them recent national recognition, and Tribal Gaze, a band channeling southern hardcore roots with a modern metalcore edge, the lineup strikes a balance between legacy and momentum.

Presented by Twin Productions, the show reflects San Antonio’s continued relevance as a stop for international heavy acts, anchoring itself in the venue’s history of hosting chaotic, genre-defining performances.
