Origin Alexandria, Virginia, U.S. Genres Grindcore, deathgrind Years active 1997–present Pig Destroyer is an American grindcore band formed in 1997 in Alexandria, Virginia. The band was formed by vocalist J.R. Hayes, guitarist Scott Hull, and drummer John Evans. Pig Destroyer is one of the most well-known grindcore bands due to Hayes's poetic lyrics;[2] Hull's incorporation of thrash, punk, and doom influences in songwriting; and technical drum work. 作为一支碾核乐队，Pig Destroyer的作风相对特立独行。97年便在一起演奏噪音的他们起初也是追随汽油弹等先行者，唱腔尖叫为主，Riff乱得一塌糊涂，纯正的碾核。但事情在新千年左右发生了变化，乐队突然加了很多齐整的死亡riff进来，有时甚至是激流桥段的riff；金属质感也适当强调，唱腔从尖叫过渡到尖嗓，某些曲目绝对有成熟的残死味道。
