Review: Impressive, powerful, raw grindcore fury between Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Anal Cunt. Suffocating heaviness, relentless head-achy grind-blasts, maniacal screams and painful roars. Pig destroyer brilliantly handle the art of ultraviolence and noise. This cd is a blast. 40 minutes and 38 killer tracks including wonderful Carcass "Genital Grinder"/"Regurgitation of Giblets"/"Exhume to Consume" cover versions. I hear it's a collection of several of their previous releases. Anyway, it's a must-have for grind-buffs if you don't have their stuffs yet. The artwork is good as usual for a Relapse release, and the sound is really good too.

Review: I didn't really liked this one as much as the "38 Counts of Battery" the first time I listened to it. This recording comes with a cleaner sound, and I really liked their previous stuffs dirty raw feel. Now it sounds alot more like Ben�mb albums out on Relapse too, but that's not such a bad thing finally. After a few listenings, this record really really grew on me, now I adore it. They have a sound of their own, some kind of sonorous universe, and their twisted weird lyrics widen it all, this record is truly a dive into dementia, and it's really impressive. I don't know exactly how to define Pig Destroyer, but they're special. I'd say say Grind in their own way, if that helps. It's not just typical stuff, but it's really ultraviolent and quite original. There's some Ben�mb in Pig Destroyer like I said and a bit of Agoraphobic Nosebleed too I guess, US Grind & Powerviolence like this... Anyway, "Prowler in the Yard" is definitely a major album to me.
