Pig's Blood are a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a bestial mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Destroying The Spirit" which will be released in April by Dark Descent Records.
A very fast, raw and brutal sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking, blast beats and war metal elements which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and bestial growls and melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also mixes in influences from both the modern and old school era's of the genre. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also bring in more of a 90's death metal style and the whole recording also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Pig's Blood expands on the war and bestial black/death metal style they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Satanism, Anti Christianity, War and Misanthropy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Pig's Blood and if you are a fan of war and bestial black/death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Standing In Depravity" "Power To Stop it" "Satanic Hammer Of Justice" and "Strikeforce of Isolated Will". 8 out of 10.
