Hull and company have stripped themselves down. Compare that to Phantom Limb‘s 7+ minute finale, or the 40-minute noise jam that was their one-off Natasha experiment. The longest ‘long’ song is ‘Permanent Funeral,’ which lasts a lean four minutes. (Photo by Josh Sisk) Book Burner is all fastballs, straight down the middle. You can imagine his fat monkey fist sliding up and down the neck of his guitar. The spaces between his notes are audible. Scott Hull’s guitar has dropped some heft in exchange for clarity. Jarvis also rolls with a little more slop than his predecessors, which probably works to his advantage-grind albums all flow together anyway, and at least this one doesn’t have any jarring breaks. The sound has been taken out to dry, especially in Jarvis’s drums-the snare pops like Chinese firecrackers here. Its predecessor felt Lovecraftian in its looming malevolence.īook Burner, by contrast, is as human as Pig Destroyer have ever been. Now they do, because Book Burner, while still a great album, is a step away from Phantom Limb. I knew there had been lineup changes- Adam Jarvis now drums in the group-but they didn’t matter until now. Until I heard it, the band was synonymous with the Phantom Limb sound.

And Pig Destroyer (along with early Napalm Death) opened the Grind gateway for me. Suddenly the idea of NO CLEAN SINGING clicked with me. That was the time I got into Black Metal, Death Metal, and metallic hardcore. In that time of need, my palate for metal expanded in manifold ways. (In this post, BadWolf reviews the new album by Pig Destroyer.) Pig Destroyer showed me that grindcore could be good music in 2008, at the lowest point in my personal life.
