This is due to a couple of things: Hull’s deathy, sometimes thrashy, songwriting, as well as the inclusion of a bass guitar. While a heavy-as-hell attitude has always been their game-especially on Phantom Limb and Book Burner-the sound on Head Cage is more intense. The other thing fans will notice is that this fucker is mighty heavy. Which, I know is not the comparison many of you wanted to hear. Turns out its runtime and track length are much like 2007’s Phantom Limb. The first thing Pig Destroyer fans will notice on Head Cage is its tracklist. But, how far is too far? Is Head Cage another pork roast or is it something more? Or less…? Hell, they’ve even pulled themselves away-to many o’ fan’s disappointment-from the iconic sound of 2001’s Prowler in the Yard. travel far beyond their full-length debut, Explosion in Ward 6. After six full-lengths over twenty years, we’ve seen Scott Hull, et al. Or, what I mean is everyone’s favorite grindcore giant to love or hate. So, here I stand, having emerged from the grindcore woodwork, to review the newest outing from everyone’s favorite grindcore giant, Pig Destroyer. I may not be Kronos, our tech and grind enthusiast, but there’s something about the shove-it-down-your-throat chaos of the style that gets me. I rarely review it-or should I say, never review it. I know what you’re thinking, Grier reviewing a grindcore band? Bullshit, right?! It’s a little-known fact that I actually enjoy the genre.
