You wanna talk about bone crushing metal? Try some Pig Destroyer on for a change. On their first record in six years, Virginia noise\/metal pioneers Pig Destroyer has come roaring back to life. 12 songs in 30 minutes \u2013 that seems like a lot to take, but it\u2019s all worth it. \u201cArmy Of Cops\u201d is one of the best metal tracks of the year, and it just feels good to have them back after so long. It\u2019s just crushing and really dense. \u201cDark Train\u201d comes ripping out of the gate right away and it\u2019s clear the band haven\u2019t lost a step; they still sound as hard and fierce as ever<\/p>\n
The most interesting thing here is that the songs are a bit longer on average than on previous records, which is a bit of a shock and very fascinating at the same time. The tempos are even slowed down a tad, particularly on the intro of \u201cThe Torture Fields,\u201d before the band rips into a thrash mode that completely rips up most people\u2019s ideas of hearing. The thrashing continues on a quick number like \u201cMt. Skull,\u201d and if any listener isn\u2019t aware of this band, and if they\u2019re not into metal, then they will definitely regret it. Otherwise, there\u2019s nothing here not to enjoy; there\u2019s plenty to please even the most old school metalhead.<\/p>\n
Album finale \u201cHouse Of Snakes\u201d begins with a very trippy intro and turns into one of the slowest songs this band has released. After the intensity of the previous few minutes, this track might turn into a true test of one\u2019s determination. \u201cThe Adventures Of Jason And JR\u201d feels like that old TAD song \u201cJack Pepsi,\u201d wherein there\u2019s a story but it\u2019s really dark and the music is super heavy.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t always like my metal so punishing, but I\u2019m proud to show my VA pride by cranking a little Pig every once in a while. So should every proud metalhead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":33604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10253],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-45425","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-pig-destroyer","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45425"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
