Pig Destroyer

Pig Destroyer, the American grindcore band, play a London date with Singaporean grindcore act Wormrot at the Scala, a venue hosting concerts and shows in the capital.

Pig Destroyer formed in Maryland in the late 1990s and are among the best-documented names in American grindcore, with a catalogue built on short, abrasive songs and sharp political and social lyrics. Their albums include Terrifyer, released in 2004, and Head Cage, which followed in 2012. The band has been associated with the grindcore and extreme metal scene since its early years, and its records are often cited by listeners tracing the genre's development in the United States.

Wormrot come from Singapore and are known in the grindcore community for fast, compact songs built on dense riffs and blast-beat drumming. Their line-up and set are for listeners who follow extreme metal and grindcore, and the bill pairs two bands from the same underground tradition, with Wormrot's style close in spirit to Pig Destroyer's.

The Scala is a London concert venue that hosts live music and shows across a range of genres. This night suits fans of grindcore and extreme metal who want to see two acts from the genre on one bill.
