Check out Pig Destroyer's new song - Army of Cops

12/07/2018 Articles Share

This is it! Grindcore legends Pig Destroyer are back! They have just released a video for the song Army of Cops. It had been 6 long years since their latest studio album, Book Burner & 5 years since the release of Mass & Volume EP. It’s not as long of a wait as the new System of a Down or Tool stuff, but still…. As always, PxDx deliver bone-crushing material and Army of Cops is no exception. This song features Richard Johnson (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil, Drugs of Faith) on guest vocals. The lyrics are very political, especially this part:

   We've become the nation of victimization
   Why can't we admit we're hypocrites?
   Nobody likes our direction
Yet we don't turn around

And yes, the new album – Head Cage will be released on September 7th 2018 via Relapse Records. I guess that every Pig Destroyer fan will pre-order this sonic titan (you can do it here) Here is brief statement from the Relapse Records:

“After six long, harsh years of absence, the mighty PIG DESTROYER have reassembled to eradicate eardrums and split skulls with their highly anticipated sixth full-length opus, entitled Head Cage (named after a grisly medieval torture device). A visceral vortex of animalistic rage and extreme sonic brilliance, Head Cage is 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 twelve tracks, PIG DESTROYER weave 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/lyricist JR 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 Cage was recorded by guitarist Scott Hull at Visceral Sound Studios, mixed and mastered by Will Putney (Exhumed, Every Time I Die, Body Count) and features striking artwork by Mark McCoy (Full of Hell, Nothing) along with guest vocal appearances by Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Richard Johnson and Kat Katz plus Full Of Hell's Dylan Walker. PLAY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME!”

Kudos for Dylan Walker’s guest vocals! I raise a glass for that!
