Relapse Who says the music video is a dead art form? Pig Destroyer have just released a video for their new track ‘The Diplomat,’ which pays tribute to ’2001: A Space Odyssey’ while injecting pure LSD into the eyeballs of anyone who chooses to view ‘The Diplomat.’ On Oct. 24, Pig Destroyer posted a teaser on their Facebook page for their new music video. Along with a visually addicting image of black-lit apes , Pig Destroyer warned fans with the message, “Prepare your anus for tomorrow…” Although the video’s release was pushed back until today (Oct. 26), the delay gave grinders an extra day to prepare their poop-chutes for one of the year’s best videos. ‘The Diplomat’ video showcases a time-traveling businessman and his faceless limo driver, as they return to a time where apes claimed dominance. The businessman comes equipped with a mystery briefcase and an arsenal of machine guns, which leads to some primate pulverizing. We won’t give away the ending of the video, but believe us when we say that ‘The Diplomat’ needs to be seen by fans of experimental and trippy visuals, along with brilliant grindcore. ‘The Diplomat’ comes from Pig Destroyer’s newest album, ‘ Book Burner ,’ which proves to be one of 2012′s essential metal albums, with even Larry King (unknowingly) contributing to new track ‘The Bug.’ Treat yourself by checking out Pig Destroyer’s new video for ‘The Diplomat.’ Pig Destroyer, ‘The Diplomat’

Larry King Contributes to Upcoming Pig Destroyer Album ‘Book Burner’
October 21st, 2012 
Metalkult Toby Canham, Getty Images / Relapse “Who’s more evil than Larry King?” asks Pig Destroyer vocalist J.R. Hayes before the band’s ultra-violent set in Brooklyn last night (Oct. 18). We got to speak with the entirety of Pig Destroyer for a rare interview, when the subject of discussion took an unexpected turn towards iconic broadcaster Larry King. With Pig Destroyer about to release their punishing fifth studio album, ‘Book Burner,’ we went in depth about the record during our exclusive interview and hit on one of their new tracks, ‘The Bug.’ Widely known for their use of samples within their music, a demonically-manipulated voice begins to recite a quote as ‘The Bug’ leads off: “This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty … what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing. I will sing while you croak, I will dance over your dirty corpse.” “That’s a pretty famous quote from Henry Miller’s ‘Tropic of Cancer,’” says Hayes. “It’s a book from the ’30s where he’s an ex-patriot in France. He’s very much talking about how art can be offensive but still artful at the same time. That quote always struck me as kind of resonant.” Pig Destroyer guitarist and producer Scott Hull interjected with a fascinating truth about the audio used for the quote. “It’s Larry King,” reveals Hull. “He read ‘Tropic of Cancer’ for a book on tape.” Funnily enough, Hayes was unaware that King possessed the disembodied voice within ‘The Bug,’ and acknowledged that his mind was official blown. ‘Book Burner’ won’t be available to purchase until next week, but to hear ‘The Bug’ along with the rest of the new album, NPR has got an exclusive stream of the record in full. Stay tuned for our full interview with the deathgrind innovators of Pig Destroyer.
