The Milwaukee-based black death terror unit known as Pig’s Blood released their devastating sophomore album earlier this year. Called A Flock Slaughtered, Pig’s Blood’s latest album is ten tracks of bellicose riffs, earsplitting ballistics, and an overabundance of bestial violence.

He continues, pointing out how this time around the “lyrics are far more satanic and drug-fueled. Overall I think it’s the same drunken blend of Violent Black Death, just with more nods to the Heavy Metal/Punk/Oi/Doom we all love.”
A Flock Slaughtered was recorded at Earhammer Studios with Greg Wilkinson, which accounts for why it sounds like unleashed hell. “We had a blast,” Ellis says, reflecting on recording the album at Earhammer. “[We have] lots of true allies in the Bay Area. Greg is a maniac wizard and a blast to work with/be around. I think our ‘fast drugs vibe’ freaked some people out but it didn’t stop us. (Nothing will.) We literally drank/laughed/raged all night most nights. The actual recording was very organized and ran smooth as fuck. We love our music so while in the studio we treated it with a militant respect. I think you can hear that in the recording.”
Looking ahead, Pig’s Blood plan to tour this fall in support of A Flock Slaughtered. “We are doing some dates in October,” says Ellis. “Trying to hit places we never made it to. South/East mostly. We intend to do a longer tour spring of 2020. Keep an eye on our Facebook [and] Stygian Black Hand’s social media for updates.”
