2024 is the 20th anniversary of the classic Terrifyer album by local grind legends Pig Destroyer! To mark the occasion, Relapse Records is reissuing the album in a newly remastered version that also includes the 38 minute “Natasha” song and a ton of previously unreleased demos and bonus tracks. If this wasn’t cool enough, Pig Destroyer is playing an album release show for this killer reissue at the Black Cat this Thursday, November 14th of 2024! And if that wasn’t enough, DCHM is going to give away a pair of tickets to this very show, and the winner will also receive a copy of the Terrifyer reissue signed by the band. But wait, there’s more! Relapse Records label mates Mammoth Grinder are playing direct support of Piggy D on this show and they’ve got a new EP coming out, titled Undying Spectral Resonance, and the winner will get a signed copy of that at the show as well! If you’re not into vinyl we’ll make sure you can get another format (probably CD) signed at the show instead. Now to enter just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite metal release of 2024 is so far. Then on Monday, November 11th, 2024 at 5pm Eastern the contest will close and a winner will be selected from all valid entries using Random.org! Be sure to use a valid email you check regularly when you enter so I can contact you if you win. When you leave a comment you must click the little email icon and enter your email in (only I can see the email address) otherwise I won’t be able to contact you if you win. If the selected winner hasn’t written me back within 24 hours then another winner will be selected. If you can’t wait to see if you win or the contest is already over when you read this, then you can purchase tickets here.
Pig Destroyer doesn’t play a ton of home town shows so don’t miss this chance to see them at the Black Cat! Direct support comes from Mammoth Grinder and I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention but they now include members of Exhumed and Battlemaster in their line up, so they’re only getting more brutal! Also playing will be Genocide Pact, another Relapse band and also based in DC. They play a modern take on that old school Swedish buzzsaw style of death metal. Opening the show is local band Entrail Asphyxiation, a local death metal/goregrind band that’s been getting a lot of notice lately. Anyways, check out these videos of the bands below and leave a comment telling me your favorite metal album so far of 2024 (Gotta make sure I haven’t missed anything for my end of year lists!)
Pig Destroyer – Gravedancer
Mammoth Grinder – Undying Spectral Resonance
Genocide Pact – Perverse Dominion
Entrail Asphyxiation – s/t EP
