PIG DESTROYER

Book Burner

2 x CD Deluxe



Pig Destroyer writes gruesomely detailed grindcore murder ballads, symphonies for psychopaths and agitated punk screeds against conformity. Since 1997, the Washington, D.C.-based extreme metal band has been playing abrasive, punk-based metal with a penchant for mayhem seared into vocalist J.R. Hayes' lyrics. It's Matthew Barney wrapped in clustered chords and a stabbing snare; Cormac McCarthy's disturbingly logical blood thirst under an avalanche of riffs. On Book Burner, Pig Destroyer's fifth album (and first in five years), the band sounds as meticulously crushing and composed as ever. The deluxe edition sports a bonus disc of punk covers and a short post-apocalyptic tale written by Hayes called ‘The Atheist.’
