PIG DESTROYER Premiers "The Torture Fields" Music Video
August 8, 2018, 6 years ago
Pig Destroyer have premiered the second single from their upcoming sixth full-length album Head Cage entitled "The Torture Fields". Watch the spastic new video below, and listen on all streaming services here.
"The Torture Fields" was directed and edited by Frank Huang (Maximum Volume Silence) and features live footage from Decibel Metal & Beer Fest and Southwest Terror Fest, and live photos by Mark Valentino. Additional live footage by Jeff Grindstopher.
Head Cage is due out September 7th on CD/LP/CS/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical pre-order packages are available via Relapse.com here.
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.
