About

Formed in 1997 in Alexandria, Virginia, Pig Destroyer is one of the most influential and acclaimed American grindcore bands. Founded by vocalist J.R. Hayes and guitarist Scott Hull, the band earned a reputation for technical precision, blistering speed, and Hayes' uniquely poetic and often macabre lyrical style. For over two decades, the band performed without a bassist—a rarity in extreme metal—until Travis Stone joined the lineup in 2019. Throughout their career on Relapse Records, they have released landmark albums such as 'Prowler in the Yard' (2001) and 'Terrifyer' (2004), which are considered seminal works in the evolution of the grindcore genre.
