Reigning grindcore champions Pig Destroyer have revealed the title of their highly anticipated new album to be Book Burner. The band recently completed self-recording their razor-sharp fifth-full length and first album in over five years at guitarist Scott Hull's Visceral Sound Studios. Book Burner will see a Oct. 23 release via Relapse Records and features 19 tracks with a return to the band's raw, misanthropic sound.
