Pig Destroyer Release Never Before Heard EP ‘Mass And Volume’

Grindcore band Pig Destroyer has released a never before heard EP entitled Mass & Volume in dedication to Relapse Records member Pat Egan, who recently passed away due to complications stemming from pneumonia. All proceeds of the album will be going to a college fund for Pat’s daughter, Katie. The EP can be purchased here or below.

The band comments, “Pat Egan was a friend and a keystone member of the Relapse family for many of the years we have been involved with it. He devoted his life to supporting underground music and he immeasurably helped develop the bands he worked with. His untimely passing on February 18 2013 shocked the many people that his life and work had touched.”

The band explains the EP, saying, “This EP was written and recorded during the final day of the Phantom Limb sessions with unexpected extra studio time and resources. In the following years, with Natasha being released on its own and Brian no longer being in the band, our intentions of releasing Mass & Volume basically evaporated. However, looking back now, Mass & Volume serves as a great epilogue to that particular era of the band.” READ MORE

Grind metal band Pig Destroyer have resigned to Relapse Records fresh after the release of their fifth studio album Book Burner, which came out Oct. 22nd. The band commented issued some comments celebrating this event:

“Super excited to be a part of the extraordinary Relapse Records again! A song comes to mind in the melody of the “Team America” jingle. “Relapse, FUCK YEAH! Once again, signing a muthafuckin contract!” – Adam Jarvis

“Relapse has been a great home for both ANb and Pig Destroyer since the very early days. We’re not an easy band to deal with but Relapse has been patient, enthusiastic, and accommodating to our headache-inducing schedules, our strict adherence to not touring or behaving like a normal band, and just generally being pains-in-the-asses. We wouldn’t trade that for anything.” – Scott Hull

“I don’t always sign contracts with record labels, but when I do, I choose Relapse.” – JR Hayes

It’s been a long time since we’ve had any metal animals on BD Music and I’m very sorry to all of you about that. Nothing makes the day better than having an animal be a part of a good ole’ metal experience and sharing that with you is one of my great joys in life.

So below I’ve got a video of pugs singing to an instrumental death metal track. Check it out below and enjoy the shrill, ear-piercing yips and yaps! READ MORE

Pig Destroyer Release Incredible Video For “The Diplomat”

Relapse Records artist Pig Destroyer has released a video for “The Diplomat”, which comes off their latest album Book Burner (order here), their first release in five years. Directed by Phil Mucci, the video is a beautifully crafted piece of art that includes monkeys shooting the ever living crap out of each other, a corrupt, demonic businessman and a chauffeur that reminds me of something out of Jacob’s Ladder. One could easily look at this video and find it very satirical to a certain ongoing series of current events (COUGHthe electionCOUGH).

crustcake reports “Pig Destroyer have finally finished work on their new home studio (after recording in the basement of one of their parents’ houses for the last few years) and are writing material for a new album, which will (hopefully) be recorded this winter and released next fall. We don’t have any more information than that because there isn’t any, but for now we can certainly speculate on how good the album is going to be.”
