DESCRIPTION:
On August 31st, 2009, thegauntlet . net released info to the world about a gruesome murder scene in Solana Beach, CA in which over a dozen bodies were excavated in what authorities believed to be a "body farm". It was reported that a CD by CATTLE DECAPITATION was found in the suspects bedroom and may have motivated the killer. Even a video of the Channel 12 News footage surfaced and was shown to the world. BUT......

...Absolutely NONE of it was true! There were no murders. There was no Body Farm. Hell, there's no such thing as a Channel 12 News station in San Diego! It was all just an elaborate lead-in to CATTLE DECAPITATION'S new video for their track "A BODY FARM" from their latest release "THE HARVEST FLOOR". It was all fabricated by vocalist Travis Ryan and director Tyson Montrucchio in an Orson Welle's "War of the Worlds" meets "The Blair Witch Project" style and you didn't know that it was all just B.S. until you sat and watched the full news footage which ran right into the bands music video.

Many people got the joke, many were left unsettled, some still think it actually happened! For one thing, if it HAD happened, the band would NEVER have glorified that bit of news nor would they have issued the report themselves or via a news outlet as this would have more than likely tarnished their name for good as well as the cause they support which is awareness to cruelty of animals and the destruction of our planet by humans... This was not as much of a "publicity stunt" as it was just a clever way of introducing the world to the band's new video...

With that said, we now present to you the FULL EXTENDED VERSION that you won't find on MTV or Fuse and is available here!


Here is the actual press release as published by thegauntlet.net:

"Followup: News footage released of Cattle Decapitation 'body farm' killer

News footage has surfaced from the body farm that was unearthed yesterday in San Diego, CA. It is being reported by Channel 12 News in San Diego that The Harvest Floor CD by Cattle Decapitation was discovered in the killers room. The CD (purchase here) contains a track title "A Body Farm." The news footage is below.

As previously reported by The Gauntlet, authorities in San Diego County have confirmed that the remains of several bodies have been unearthed in the backyard garden of a coastal San Diego home on Wednesday.

Authorities found the bodies after an anonymous tip led them to the location.

For much of the day Sunday, neighbors tried to catch a glimpse of what was going on as a number of detectives were digging in what appears to be a vegetable garden of the home, located just off Interstate 5.

Then around 9 p.m., they watched as several body bags were rolled out on stretchers from behind the home. Those body bags were then driven away by San Diego coroners.

"I thought there was just one. I was surprised to see they kept bringing them out," said neighbor Josephine Wagacknyk.

After witnessing the disturbing scene, dozens of neighbors were left with even more questions.

But the one thing that was obvious to everyone Sunday night was a strong foul odor which seemed to emanate from the home.

"The stench. [It's a] real bad smell. If you've never been around a dead dog or something, then you wouldn't know. But I've been around dead animals so I know it's pretty bad," said Wagacknyk.

Although police aren't releasing the name of the owner of the home, neighbors tell Channel 12 News that the suspect spends much of his time working in the vegetable garden while listening to heavy metal music.

Upon further investigation, authorities found a CD which contained a song titled "A Body Farm" in the suspect's home; a song from an album that was released by local San Diego heavy metal band 'Cattle Decapitation'. Authorities are looking into this tragedy as being a possible "copycat crime" based on the band's disturbing music and lyrics.

Channel 12 News attempted to contact the band, but the band's representatives declined to comment.

The sheriff's office isn't expected to release the victims names until the coroner finishes the identification process and the next of kin are notified which is expected to be lengthy due to the advanced state of decomposition the bodies were in."
