Reigning grindcore champions PIG DESTROYER are
gearing up for the release of Book Burner, the band's
razor-sharp fifth-full length and first album in over five years was recorded
at guitarist Scott Hull's Visceral Sound Studios.
Tonight Sirius / XM's Liquid Metal will be premiering
another new track from Book Burner. The song
entitled "Baltimore Strangler" can be heard tonight at 10:00 PM EST
and again at 2:00 AM EST. This is the second full length song that has been
released from Book Burner, the first "Burning
Palm" was released as a lyric video, which can be viewed HERE.
PIG DESTROYER recently completed a tour of
Japan and while they were there filmed an exclusive tour diary which can be
seen HERE, courtesy of Metal Injection.
Book Burner will see a October 22nd
release via Relapse Records and features 19 tracks with a return to the
band's raw, misanthropic sound. Book Burner will
be available on multiple formats including CD, Deluxe 2xCD, LP, Deluxe 2xLP,
Cassette and Digital. Pre-Orders for all of the editions are available
via Relapse Records here and iTunes here.
The deluxe editions will each contain a bonus disc of punk
covers and a short story, titled The Atheist, penned by
frontman JR Hayes. The Atheist is a
post-apocalyptic tale about a decaying world taken over by the violence of
religion that showcases the renowned lyricists' unsurpassed style for the
first time as prose. The deluxe 2xLP will also contain an etched b-side
featuring artwork by Wormrot frontman Arif Rot. A complete tracklisting
is included below.
