Nightmare Fuel / Pig Destroyer

Go To

So, so much. Everything about Pig Destroyer, from their music to their album covers to their lyrics, can be fucking terrifying.


  • Their lyrics are incredibly nightmarish. David Lynch doesn't have squat on J.R. Hayes.
  • The album Terrifyer is appropriately named. Even the album cover is disturbing as fuck, depicting a nude girl in a red background with deformed breasts and a face concealed by blackness.
  • And then there's Natasha, an EP taken up by a single, 37-minute long song named "Natasha". It's so fucking unpleasant and nihilistic it's almost painful to listen to.
  • The reprise of Jennifer that follows "Piss Angel" (starting at 2:34) is just horrific. You drift away listening to that awful CG-voice narrating and at some point you snap out of it, noticing that the horrible sound in the background is growing louder, and then it says "...She knew that sooner or later they would realize that the ride wasn't stopping and they were all going to die." and shuts up, but the sound doesn't stop, and then your brain clicks and you realize that he was talking about you realizing that "the ride" isn't stopping.
  • Another notable song from the same album (Prowler In The Yard) is "Body Scout", considering how it ends:
    Like explosions in space and prostitutes of fire.
    (silence)
    Like explosions in space
    (silence)
    And prostitutes of fire.
    (longer silence)
    And prostitutes of fire!
