Arterial Spray & Cattle Mutilations

Arterial Spray & Cattle Mutilations is the fourth and final studio album by Alien Faktor, released on 4 November 1997 by Decibel.

Reception
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." 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." Chris Best of Lollipop Magazine praised the mainstream direction the band embraced. 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."
