#216 PIG DESTROYER’s HEAD CAGE Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast

September 7, 2018

One of the finest albums of the fall season that deserves space in your autumn playlist (right alongside everything Sabbath & Zeppelin) is PIG DESTROYER’s 2018 work of grindcore perfection, HEAD CAGE.

While the Alexandria, Virginia based grind lords are one of the most recognized bands of the genre, HEAD CAGE has a more “mainstream” sound that could best be described as a convergence of 80’s & 90’s thrash with an infusion of hard core and doom textures as well as subtle hints of industrial sampling and modern metal, packing a veritable “buffet” of jaw droppingly sick riffs into each and every song, resulting in a complete work that’s so satisfying it’s virtually impossible to not listen to on perpetual repeat.

Hold off on consuming those “big fruity drinks” until after you’ve heard our brand new “health advice” segment, including an acknowledgement of “Sober October”, a breaking news update impacting the nymphomaniac community, as well as our ongoing debate regarding “which itch is worst?”.

Get ready to learn the identity of the individual responsible for every outgoing answering machine message in the 80’s (not to mention the spoken word intro to “Prowler in the Yard”), discover the hidden dangers of banana peels at funerals and JOIN US as we dive into one of the finest moments ever chronicled in the history of metal and unlock the secrets hidden within PIG DESTROYER’s HEAD CAGE.
