[Exclusive] Check Out The Nightmarish, Terrifying “Second Skin” Video From Dying Fetus

Bloody-Disgusting is thrilled to bring you the exclusive premiere for Dying Fetus and their “Second Skin” video! Directed by Jakob Arevarn, the video shows the mental and physical collapse of a child molester/murderer. As he descends into the depths of his own diseased mind, his body begins falling apart. Ultimately, he is faced with a creature that looks like something out of a Guillermo Del Toro film, and that’s when things get really insane. This video is not for the weakhearted, so take care when watching it! READ MORE

Cattle Decapitation’s Travis Ryan Calls Six Feet Under’s Chris Barnes “A Fucking Hack”: Cattle Decapitation Pulls Off Tour

Cattle Decapitation has pulled out of the current tour with Six Feet Under and Wretched. Singer Travis Ryan posted a comment on his Facebook page where he called Six Feet Under/ex-Cannibal Corpse singer Chris Barnes, “…a fucking hack.”. The band would’ve played The Studio at Webster Hall today in New York, NY.

Ryan’s full statement reads, “Chris Barnes is a fucking hack. I’ve personally passed on at least 5 six feet [Under] tours over the last 8 or so years because he pulls so much nonsense on the support bands because his ego is astronomical. We’re leaving the Chris Barnes Show tour today. Go to the Chris Barnes show and buy some of their merch. They need it desperately.

As of now, Cattle Decapitation will still be performing with Dying Fetus and Cerebral Bore starting Nov. 25th.

[Exclusive] Cattle Decapitation Release What Might Just Be The Most NSFW Music Video Ever

Okay, I’ve seen some bizarre, twisted, and downright fucked up music videos in my time. But there wasn’t really anything that could’ve prepared me for Cattle Decapitation‘s “Forced Gender Reassignment”. Let me put it like this: when a video is too intense for YouTube, it gets on Vimeo. That site will let almost anything slide. Nope. Vimeo flat out rejected it, wanting nothing to do with it. But we at Bloody-Disgusting are never ones to shy away from bringing you the most vile visual material out there. So we gladly accepted the opportunity to not only premiere this video for you all, but also to be the only site on the internet with the balls to host it.

So, if you’ve got the guts (and the stomach), you can watch this INCREDIBLY NSFW video below. But don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Also, do us a favor and record your reaction of the video and post the video link in the comments below!

“Forced Gender Reassignment” comes from Cattle Decapitation’s latest album Monolith Of Inhumanity (iTunes). The band also has a ton of tour dates coming up. You can see the schedule for all the shows below. READ MORE
