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”,
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 !
