The Anthropocene Extinction is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Cattle Decapitation.

The Anthropocene Extinction deals with the results of mankind's influence on the environment, such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

writing that "Littered throughout the wasteland of gurgling growls and shrill shrieks that fill The Anthropocene Extinction are the snarls that the vocalist experimented with on 2012's Monolith of Inhumanity, a sort of pseudo-singing that just might be more unsettling than his more traditional death metal scream, and which showcases his impressive range."

A similar claim follows the gloomy 'Ave Exitium', which follows in the vein of 'The Harvest Floor' and 'The Monolith' as a haunting intro to a momentous closer in 'Pacific Grim'."
