So spare some time, play it, read the lyrics along and allow Prowler in the Yard to leave you in tatters. A record of this magnitude is not made twice, nor can be experienced the same way twice. The making of Pig DestroyerвЂ™s Prowler in the Yard released: 2001 label: Relapse If youвЂ™ve been a regular Decibel reader over the years, it may be hard to believe that there was a time when Pig Destroyer werenвЂ™t one of the most popular and revered bands in underground extreme music. However, if you can, listen to the original 2001 version, as the remastered version lacks one track and pretty much eliminates the atmosphere attained in the original record. Not only for Grindcore fans, but for fans of extreme music as a whole. To avoid further spoiling, this record is a must-listen. Sudden tempo changes, abrupt breaks and slow-downs drench this record from start to finish, so as to simulate the protagonist's insanity. It nailed this atmospheric touch, allowing the listener to be swallowed into this nightmarish story. Recorded on a 4-track in one of the members' basement, the album has a very 'psycho-ward' atmosphere. Spastic, frenzied yet very calculated and technical at moments.

Of course, the instrumentation here is of utmost excellence as well. Hayes it's perfect ( Hyperviolet being my favorite example) in capturing the absolute feeling the protagonist has. This is an impressive release that makes a strong case for Pig Destroyer, alongside Discordance Axis and Nasum, as one of the top grindcore bands of the late '90s/early '00s.

Instead of a growled style (vaguely employed in a couple tracks), he employs a literal scream of anguish, despair and rage. Hayes is a gifted writer, and his poetic prose delivers madness like no other lyricist could. Usually, a concept like this could be taken to just one song. Scatology Homework), the main focus here is the Prowler's deranged thoughts following his break-up. Although the album contains some tracks that seem to differ from the main story (which can be interpreted as flashbacks twisted by the man's broken psyche, i.e.

Jennifer has ditched the protagonist, and over the course of 7 days, his madness grows as his desire to be together again. All converging in a spiteful homicide, as told in the final booklet text. We are presented with a gruesome story of heartbreak, insanity, sex and suicidal thoughts. From the first second of Jennifer until the last second of Piss Angel fades out, insanity shall ensue in both music and words, as this tale of madness, sex and death is told through piercing screams and frenzied instrumentation.ДЄs it has been stated numerous times in many reviews, Prowler in the Yard is among the very few Grindcore concept albums that exist (in fact, the very thought seems weird). Regarded by many fans of Pig Destroyer (and Grindcore fans in general) as the band's crowning achievement (closely rivaled by it's follow-up, Terrifyer), this beast will crush your ears and rupture your mind. Hard because of how attached I've become to it, on both personal and musical levels.
