Northern Virginia, USA (1997 – present)
Pig Destroyer is a grindcore band based in Virginia, USA first formed in 1997. Combining old school grindcore with doom and thrash elements, Pig Destroyer have pushed the boundaries of the grind genre and gained a large following. Their unique sound is notable for its absence of bass guitar on their studio albums.
The band was formed in 1997 with vocalist J.R. Hayes (former vocalist Enemy Soil), guitarist Scott Hull (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Anal Cunt, Japanese Torture Comedy Hour, and more), and drummer John Evans. John Evans was replaced by Brian Harvey in 1998. Blake Harrison joined the band in late 2006 adding noise and samples to the mix.
The band, in their earlier more ‘politically-charged’ days, had originally wanted to name themselves in protest of law and authority. Believing that “Cop Killer” and “Cop Destroyer” were too obvious in meaning, they eventually settled on “Pig Destroyer” (“pig” being a slang term for the police). Derived from a non-musical source as extreme as the band’s sound, Pig Destroyer’s easily-identifiable logo took form when the emblem from the infamous Answer Me! magazine was disassembled and rearranged.
Relapse signed the band and issued a Pig Destroyer / Isis 7” (PxDx covered the Carcass classics Genital Grinder and Regurgitation Of Giblets) on the label’s Singles Series in July 2000.

the reason for forming PxDxr is to bring back what "grindcore should be" - according to Hull. and i'm not making fun of what that kid is listening to - i'm making fun of his attitude "i'm-listening-to-a-lots-of-genres-so-i-can-judge-if-its-grind-or-not".

I dont care if theyre grind or not, worrying about genre categories is something metalheads do.

Pig Destroyer is grind even if somebody with well rounded out taste says they're not.

I wouldnt say that UliQue's charts are mainly pop, infact he seems to have a much more rounded out music taste than you do. I wouldnt say anything but I quite like the majority of his charts and you seem to be attempting to make fun of that

but even if it's mainly pop you still know everything about how grindcore should be played. that makes total sense.

oh wow, i was totally not expecting someone to make reference to that fact that i listen to pop music and ignore that i also listen to krautrock, grindcore, hip-hop, fusion, death metal, post-punk...etc

UliQue: oh if you claim that this is not grind, then you have to be right. i mean - kid with that kind of charts obviously knows everything about grindcore. btw. do you like fishsticks?

UliQue wrote:

What seperates Pig Destroyer from any other band of this type is the lyrics. J.R's vignettes are utterly terrifying and strangely beautiful. Phantom Limb is their masterpiece with Prowler as a close second

playing the silent movie villain scrambling to tie myself to train tracks. praying for technicolor in the afterlife i swear that eccentric on the street corner was talking about my world ending and now i feel like i am being followed. when i saw the little blonde girl reading the book on horses and i wished her comatose i began to feel sick but they tell me that i am better now.
