Reigning grindcore champions PIG DESTROYER has unleashed the highly anticipated first song from Book Burner. The track entitled “Burning Palm” is available as a lyric video HERE.
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. The album 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. The second video of a series of in-studio videos is available HERE. This installment focuses on the guest vocalists that contributed to Book Burner. Guest vocalists on the album include Jason Netherton (Misery Index), Richard Johnson (Drugs of Faith/Agoraphobic Noisebleed) and Kat Katz (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, ex-Salome).
