Reigning grindcore champions Pig Destroyer have announced a series of summer and fall festival appearances in support of their highly anticipated 5th full-length record. The band will be heading to Europe on August 10th to play the Czech Republic’s Brutal Assault Festival and Belgium’s Ieper Fest followed by a string of Japanese and Canadian dates. Then in November, they are set to headline the UK’s Damnation Festival along with a round of headlining dates. These shows mark the first live performances with new drummer Adam Jarvis (Misery Index/Criminal Element) behind the kit. A complete listing of dates is included below with more to be announced shortly.
Pig Destroyer recently entered guitarist Scott Hull’s Visceral Sound Studios to record their first album in 5 years. The as-of-yet-titled album is a return to a raw, primitive sound and will feature 19 songs of their signature misanthropic grind. A late 2012 release is expected via Relapse Records.
