Pig Destroyer recording new album

Official press release: The extreme music world is about to get a much needed cinderblock to the face as the mighty Pig Destroyer has entered the studio to record their highly anticipated 5th full-length record and first album in over five years! The band is self-producing and recording the new album at guitarist Scott Hull's Visceral Sound Studios in Alexandria, VA. The as-of-yet-titled album is a return to a raw, primitive sound and will feature 19 songs of their signature misanthropic grind. A late 2012 release is expected via Relapse Records. This time around, Pig Destroyer have enlisted the help of Adam Jarvis (Misery Index) to lend inhuman drumming skills to the aural hatred. Now a full time member, Scott Hull commented on the addition of Adam: "Tracking the drums happened this week and I'm honestly amazed at how Adam stepped up to the task of learning some challenging shit outside of his standard comfort zone. He came into the studio ready to destroy and destroy he did. And in the haze of long studio hours he never settled for a bad take. He's a real soldier. Adam has helped breathe new life into the band and we feel like we are starting fresh. Everyone here is excited for people to check out the new jams." Additionally, Pig Destroyer has been confirmed for the UK's prestigious Damnation Festival this November with numerous other dates and festivals to be announced shortly.

Misery index rules but the drums always suck. Pig destroyer rules but the drums are about to suck.

anonymous 7/9/2012 1:21:22 PM

Ya know, the absolute LAST thing I wanna see is a sweaty, shirtless Adam Jarvis behind the kit, looking all rugged with his chiseled jaw and broad shoulders....

bardamu 7/9/2012 1:24:45 PM

Walking the Cadaver smokes massive dick. Two vocalists are for pussies, end of story. Leng Tche' ninja proves there is no need for 2 singers. ever. Just 2 mic's and 1 ninja suit. gaycore

"GREAT JOURNALISM AGAIN, LAMBGOAT! The album is already done, you fckwits. They're not entering the studio. It's done." ---- You've confused journalism with posting a press release from a label. Get on the phone with Relapse Records if you're pissed.

RickRock 7/11/2012 7:00:39 AM

fcking stoked for this.
