Pig Destroyer is definitely one of the heaviest bands that I have ever come across with their tech rock tendencies, and how fantastically in time they are with each other. They truly are more like mathematicians and scientists of their trade with their strange time signatures. I can’t quite figure out how they stay in time with each other, maybe the drummer uses a click, though it is quite hard to tell from where I’m stood. Amongst this technical ability, there are of course the vocals of J.R. Hayes and Scott Hull, why they need two people screaming their asses off. I have absolutely no idea but somehow it works and the audience really responds in the form of utterly violent mosh pits. It is as though there must be a correlation between the rowdier and more violent mosh pits and heavy music. “Totaled” and “Baltimore Strangler” are some of the biggest songs in their set that have people with their horns in the air, jumping up and down to this batch of what is dubbed as “Grindcore” which is even heavier than “Death Metal” or “Black Metal”,

Sludge metal is a genre that requires an acquired taste, but in my opinion Eyehategod are relatively versatile, mainly due to their status as one of the most well known and prestigious bands of the genre. The lights were out, and the feedback from the guitar washed over the auditorium before the band ran onstage with their instruments, ready to bring the house down.
They opened the show with a lengthy instrumental track, that demonstrated the sheer talent of every musician in the band, as they powered through complex guitar solos, challenging time signatures, and incredibly fast beats, whilst staying tight as a unit. It was evident that they’ve been playing together for years through their tight format, and their communication on stage.
They played through a variety of their hits from their older material, and journeyed right through to their self titled album from 2014. Their performance value was great, jumping, running, and head banging across the stage, despite their age. They put on an incredible show, and interacted well with us in the crowd, shouting to sing and dance along, and they even took song requests towards the end of the show. It really was a wonderful presentation of talented musicians and great writing.

Opened for Misery Index and totally blew them off the stage!
Amazing musicians and performers, top quality grindcore.
Probably the best contemporary grindcore band and at least the best hailing from the Far East.
See and support these boys if you can !
