REVIEW: Pig Destroyer - Prowler In The Yard Relapse Records, 2001
9/10
Pig Destroyer - Prowler In The Yard - cover art Get ready for a new shot of relentless fury and horrendous lyrical prose because here comes the third full-length album from the American kings of extreme music. I doubt that the Christian rightists in the US are very happy about this release or Relapse Records in general but I sure am. Calling Pig Destroyer grind or death metal would not be very nice towards them since they are one of the most varied bands in this genre ever and this is what makes them so special. I am not a big fan of grind or extreme death metal normally but this album has even won a sceptic like me over. Hundreds of riffs executed at mach-speed, heavy rhythms and vocals seething with rage done in every possible way will steal your breath away and make this album one of a kind in this field of music. If you are into grind then you would rather cut off your arm than lose this album once you have purchased it. If you are not into grind then this might be a good album to start out with because "Prowler In The Yard" is something very, very special. The lyrical content might be questionable and/or horrendous but this is something I couldn't care less about in this case because this is one of the best extreme metal releases in a long time. A bit short maybe but with the amazing speed that dominates the whole album you couldn't honestly ask for more.
