A group committed to uncompromising sonic warfare, ALL PIGS MUST DIE explode on God Is War, the album's sound and lyrical content assaulting the listener in a fury of death-filled anthems. Their upbeat flurry is slowed only for the occasional snail-paced buildup of mammoth riff tension, the rush of obvious hatred for humanity relentlessly displayed through it all. Recorded and mixed by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou's God City Studio (Black Breath, Nails, Black Cobra, Disfear) in December, the tone of God Is War is as foreboding as the music itself. ALL PIGS MUST DIEcontains vocalist Kevin Baker (The Hope Conspiracy), drummer Ben Koller (Converge), guitarist Adam Wentworth (Bloodhorse) and bassist Matt Woods (Bloodhorse).

"D-beat decimation, vicious hardcore, and nihilistic crust punk all mixed up in a big barrel of molten lava... 8/10" - Blabbermouth

"There’s no subtlety, nothing to be pondered here. Just aggression. 4/5" - MetalSucks

"...God is War delivers an intensity that is matched by few..." - Alarm Magazine

"...leaves a messy, bloody trail behind it. 4/5" - About.com

"It wants to burn this world to the ground. 8/10" - Crave Online
