Pig Destroyer Reveal New Album Title, Cover Art

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.

The band will be heading to Europe on Aug.10 to play the Czech Republic's Brutal Assault Festival and Belgium's Ieper Fest followed by a string of Japanese and Canadian dates. Then in November, they are set to headline the U.K'.s Damnation Festival along with a round of headlining dates. These shows mark the first live performances with new drummer Adam Jarvis (Misery Index, Criminal Element) behind the kit.
