Last month, Grindcore Masters Pig Destroyer announced plans to release a two song doom EP entitled Mass & Volume this fall. Previously available for a limited time as a digital only release with all of the proceeds going to the family of former Relapse Records employee Pat Egan, who tragically passed away last year, this cult release will now be available on physical formats for the first time ever.
Today, the band present the monolithic track “Red Tar” from the EP. Listen to “Red Tar” on Soundcloud HERE and on YouTube HERE.
Written and recorded during the final hours of the sessions for 2007’s Phantom Limb LP, Mass & Volume finds PIG DESTROYER’s typically break neck speed virtually come to a grinding halt with two epic songs of crushing doom. The album will be available on October 14 in North America, October 13 in the UK/World and October 10th in Germany/Benelux/Finland. Mass & Volume will be limited to a one time press of 2,000 CDs worldwide and a limited run of colored vinyl, each featuring the stunning cover art from legendary artist Arik Roper (High on Fire, Sleep). Physical pre-orders are available HERE with digital pre-ordres available HERE.  Additional samples from the album can be heard HERE.
