Ecce Beast is the third album by Minnesota alternative hip hop group Kill the Vultures. It was self-released by the band in 2009.

An album about urban alienation as seen through the eyes of a man driven to commit murder, Ecce Beast was more down-tempo and cinematic in approach than earlier work. The title plays off of the Latin phrase "ecce homo," meaning "behold the man," and refers to the protagonist's feelings of rage and self-negativity—thus, "behold the beast."[1]
