Pig Destroyer‘s Blake Harrison On New Album: “I Would Just Say That This One Is A Little More Diverse”

Pig Destroyer‘s Blake Harrison was recently interviewed by Metal Hammer and talked a bit about the band’s new album. According to him, the effort “is a little more diverse than before.”

Harrison said the following:

“This is the first album we have ever made with a bass player and so that means we have a new toy to play around with. Having that extra element, those lower tones, means that the whole sonic picture is different, so we’ve been exploring that. Having John [Jarvis, bassist] really opened things up for us. We can incorporate much more stuff and really experiment on this record.”

He also added the following about the direction of the new material:

“…I would just say that this one is a little more diverse than before. [2001’s] ‘Prowler In The Yard‘ was more of a death metal record, ‘Terrifyer‘ [2004] was more of a noise rock record, ‘Book Burner‘ was a grindcore record and ‘Phantom Limb‘ [2007] was more of a thrash record, but this one has all of those things in it. Some songs have a more Melvins vibe and obviously there are some straight-up, 30-second, fast-as-hell grindcore songs.”
