Pig Destroyer 38 Counts of Battery Relapse 2000 Pig Destroyer achieved the nigh-unthinkable on early career compilation 38 Counts of Battery: it's a discography record that easily stands on its own as a contained album experience.
450 copies pressed on oxblood standard gram. Includes free download card. Tracks are listed sequentially regardless of side.
Originally recorded by Scott Hull August 2000 to March 2001, 8-tracks in Brian's basement. Remixed and remastered by Scott Hull in 2014-2015. From Scott Hull's liner notes: 'In keeping with the edict that we NOT add anything new to this cd, one song's vocal track was missing from the multi-track archives and, instead of recording new vocals for the sake of keeping it in the track sequence, that track (Evacuating Heaven) was omitted. Additionally, the Jennifer 'postlogue' that was at the end of Piss Angel was given its own track ID, separating it from the previous song. So now both tracks are by themselves.'
AT LONG LAST. It’s been in the works for years — at least — and it’s finally here in time for Relapse Records’ 25th anniversary; Virginia-based grindcore giants Pig Destroyer are reissuing their seminal debut Prowler in the Yard, completely re-mixed and mastered by guitarist Scott Hull. The deluxe 2CD / vinyl release will bring the 14 year old record to a modern audience with an aesthetic facelift and will feature a never-before heard track from the album sessions that didn’t make it to the original cut. Skeptical of new production?
Get a glimpse of the remixed “ Scatology Homework” below to see how Prowler In The Yard holds up. REMASTER ORIGINAL I love this record and can absolutely appreciate its importance, but I’ve never really been much of a fan of buzzsaw guitars. It’s good to hear Prowler in the Yard sound so massive. If you feel the same way — or just want to commemorate a classic with a physical copy —.
Prowler in the Yard will see re-press on September 4th.
