All Pigs Must Die

All Pigs Must Die deliver a crushing assault that fuses heavy metal with d-beat-heavy hardcore punk. The Massachusetts quartet unites Converge's Ben Koller, Hope Conspiracy's Kevin Baker, and Bloodhorse's Matt Woods and Adam Wentworth. In 2010 the group introduced its punishing approach via a self-titled EP on Nonbeliever Records. Later the same year the musicians entered the studio alongside Converge guitarist and prolific metal producer/engineer Kurt Ballou to track a full-length. Southern Lord signed the band in 2011 and issued the debut LP God Is War that summer. Nothing Violates This Nature, their second album, followed in summer 2013. Four years afterward they released the third album Hostage Animal, which included the singles "A Caustic Vision" and "Blood Wet Teeth."
