#255: Pig Destroyer's Blake Harrison

Blake Harrison of Pig Destroyer guests this week. We discuss the
lengthy break between the band's new album Head Cage and Book
Burner (2012), if the title of the record contains any messages
about modern society, how a Pig Destroyer show has become an
event for our genre, how they got on the Showtime promo for the new
Twin Peaks series (while we fanboy hard on David Lynch’s career),
playing “Natasha” in its entirety and if there is a demand for that
song, his thoughts on doing a Pig Destroyer live record, and
turning down an offer to do Prowler in the Yard in it’s
entirety (and his take on that general phenomenon). Also this week
MetalSucks co-founder Axl Rosenberg calls in to discuss his perfect
score for Head Cage, the comments and reviews he's been reading
about it and his thoughts on the rest of Pig Destroyer's
discography, which Petar unfairly makes him rank on the spot. Petar
and Brandon create an ad for the splendid new Atreyu song, discuss
Brent Hinds' comments about metal being "the most brutal job" he's
ever had (and Devin Townsend’s response), the Sword’s
recently-announced hiatus, and our thoughts on the cruel realities
of being a non-stop touring musician in 2018. Songs: Pig Destroyer
