To Serve Man is the third full-length album by American death metal band Cattle Decapitation, released in 2002.[5][6] The title is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man."

Critical reception[]

Exclaim! wrote that the band "has entered the upper realm of gore-grinders," and praised the "nice, clear production sound ... that allows us to hear exactly what it is that gore-grind bands do with their instruments: grind, slash and hack their way through speedy and short bursts of dissonant grindcore."[7]
