Virginia’s Pig Destroyer have been peddling high-octane, face-ripping, black-humor grindcore for a decade, and here they push their sound into an even fiercer realm. Guitarist Scott Hull’s sweaty juggernaut riffs practically slice your flesh, but this is also a lyrics band, with J.R. Hayes screaming bon mots like “Your legs look so sexy out of context” and “Got no use for psychiatry / I can talk to the voices in my head for free.” Phantom Limb is funny, sick, smart, and possibly the year’s best metal album.
