Arterial Spray & Cattle Mutilations is the fourth and final studio album by Alien Faktor, released on 4 November 1997 by Decibel. [2] [3]
Larry Miles of Black Monday was somewhat positive in his reception of Arterial Spray & Cattle Mutilations, saying "there is a anthemic quality to arterial spray, but this becomes lost in danceable repetitiveness of textures and abhorrent lyrics found throughout." [4] Andrew Lewandowski of Chronicles of Chaos awarded the album seven out of ten and called it "a harshly disturbing jaunt through the abysses which separate one synapse from another in a mind tormented by neurosis and psychosis." [5] Chris Best of Lollipop Magazine praised the mainstream direction the band embraced. [6] A critic for Sonic Boom gave the album a positive review and said "for the first time Alien Faktor has a musically cohesive release so listeners no longer have to endure a sometimes jarring genre change between tracks."
