"The Global Cannibal" is the second release from Pittsburgh's Behind Enemy Lines. Featuring ex-members of Aus Rotten, React, The Pist and Penance, this is ideal for fans of Aus Rotten, Conflict, Icons of Filth, Amebix, Tragedy, and Motorhead, among others.
Featuring 12 tracks, just shy of 30 minutes total length, "The Global Cannibal" is thematically influenced by the current political GWBush (mis)administration.

Pittsburgh's BEHIND ENEMY LINES was formed by Dave Trenga, Matt Garabedian (both ex-Aus Rotten), Matt Sachs (ex-Devastation) and Bill Chamberlain (ex-React / The Pist) in late 2000 after Aus Rotten's demise. Thematically picking up where Aus Rotten left off, BEHIND ENEMY LINES offers even greater urgency fueled by their utter contempt for today's rotting political infrastructure and the ill-gotten spoils of war at the expense of humanity. Venturing into far heavier realms than Aus Rotten ever did, BEHIND ENEMY LINES fuses the best elements of punk and old-school metal into brief yet undeniably powerful bursts of sonic anger. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Conflict, Crass, Icons of Filth, Discharge, Motorhead, and Amebix, among others, BEHIND ENEMY LINES worked relentlessly to write and record what evolved into their first release, "Know Your Enemy", released through Tribal War Records in 2002. However, soon after its completion, BEHIND ENEMY LINES faced the loss of bassist Matt Sachs, who relocated to New England. Rather than lose momentum, BEHIND ENEMY LINES recruited bassist Mary Bielich and guitarist Matt Tuite, known for their work with Iron City's doom metal veterans Penance, to fill the vacant spot as well as adding a second guitar to the mix. Soon the newly-revamped BEHIND ENEMY LINES began writing what would evolve into their second release. Recorded in the Spring of 2003, literally as the invasion of Iraq commenced, "The Global Cannibal" is a call to arms for those who are disgusted by the current political travesty inflicted upon the nation by George W. Bush and his cohorts. Most importantly, this release serves as a poignant contemporary commentary on the problems facing both the United States and the world on many levels. From religious zealotry to oil-fueled murder in the name of "terrorist cleansing", "The Global Cannibal" leaves no stone unturned, an ugly yet realistic soundtrack to a self-inflicted apocalypse.
