Pig Destroyer: Head Cage 12″

Description

After six long, harsh years of absence, the mightyPig Destroyerhave reassembled to eradicate eardrums and split skulls with their highly anticipated sixth full-length opus, entitledHead Cage(named after a grisly medieval torture device). A visceral vortex of animalistic rage and extreme sonic brilliance,Head Cageis a true work of extreme metal art, that with the addition of a bass player, is hands down their most dynamic and heaviest recording to date.

Across 12 tracks,Pig Destroyerweave together harrowing tales of philosophical dualities, touching on mortality and depression, fear and violence, and the darkest complexities of the human condition, all told through the distorted lens of delightfully transgressive vocalist/lyricistJR Hayes. Musically, the band continues to push the boundaries of metal, grindcore, noise and punk, ramping up the intensity and leaving you bludgeoned in a state of utter shock, all in less than 33 minutes.

Head Cagewas recorded by guitaristScott Hullat Visceral Sound Studios, mixed and mastered byWill Putney(Exhumed, Every Time I Die, Body Count) and features striking artwork byMark McCoy(Full of Hell, Nothing) along with guest vocal appearances by Agoraphobic Nosebleed’sRichard JohnsonandKat Katzplus Full Of Hell’sDylan Walker.
