Right from the word go, the listener is treated to fast, brutal drumming accompanied with lightning-quick heavy riffs. The next 21 tracks are a trip through insanity - Cheerleader Corpses sets the tone for the album. Prowler In the Yard is an album steeped in disturbing imagery - right away, just by looking at the cover art, you know this is not going to be an album for the faint-hearted.Īfter a rather bizarre introduction in the form of Jennifer, in which a computerized voice reels off a section of rather disturbing prose, the listener is thrust into a maniacal world of obsession, stalkers and f ucked up-ness.
is not only a competent vocalist but an absolutely wonderful lyricist. Each member possesses immense talent - J.R. The drumming of Brian Harvey also cannot go unmentioned - the guy is a monster behind his kit, utilising a huge range of different beats from the typical grind blastbeats to the more varied and unusual punk beats. Scott Hull is a riffmeister of the highest order, constantly bombarding the listener with sublime riffs and imaginative guitar playing. Hayes possesses what is not a usual grindcore voice in that he tends to shout and scream rather than grunt/growl. Prowler In the Yard is an album that grabs you by the throat and profusely pummels you into oblivion for the most part. The band recorded the album in Hull's basement on what was essentially an 8 track - amateur-ish I hear you say? Prowler In the Yard was the band's first major release if you count 38 Counts of Battery as more of a compilation of previously released and unreleased material.
Guitarist Scott Hull has played in a number of other grind bands such as Anal Cunt, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Japanese Torture Comedy Hour but decided to form Pig Destroyer to bring back the sound of what grindcore used to be (ala Napalm Death). Pig Destroyer are a three-piece American grindcore outift, hailing from Virginia.
Review Summary: Remarkably, Pig Destroyer shows that three piece grindcore outfits are more than capable of ravaging your eardrums - but still making you want to hear more of the frantic riffs, brutal drumming and pained roars.
