Speed kills.
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
[3/5] Led by producer/mastering wizard/human riff machine Scott Hull (also of Agoraphobic Nosebleed fame), this bass-free Virginian grind trifecta are already living legends in the high-velocity game, and their near-surgical precision cuts closer to the bone with every new release. On
Phantom Limb, the band's fourth proper full-length, Pig Destroyer's patience level seems to have increased as well. Steeped in serious power grooves (especially "Fourth Degree Burns" and "Heathen Temple," the latter of which borders on Pantera territory), the album's songs have an average length actually exceeding the one-minute mark for once-thus, instead of their usual 20-plus blitzkriegs per album,
Phantom Limb contains a relatively succinct 14 tracks. Of course, all the creepy samples, torrential blastbeats and harried vocal incantations you've come to expect-nay, demand-from PxDx rear their heavily distorted, severely misshapen heads, but at least you get to hear all the riffs more than once before your own face caves in.
