It was in the year 1997, vocalist J.R. Hayes, guitarist Scott Hull and drummer John Evans formed the band Pig Destroyer (previously known as Cop Destroyer, but was later changed). As soon as the band got formed they started rehearsing. It didn't take long before the trio released a self-titled demo, and participated on a split with Orchid, which quickly sold out. In 1998 they did an East Coast tour with bands such as Drop Dead, Converge, Kid Dynamite and Isis. Same year they also parted ways with drummer John Evans, who later was replaced by Brian Harvey. They also started playing more shows, and they also released an album by the name "Explosions in Ward 6" which made them rise from the underground to be known as one of the better grindcore bands. More tours were planned together with bands like: Discordance Axis, Phobia, Daybreak, Dillinger Escape Plan and Disassociate. They also played at the 2000 March Metal Meltdown, which gave them ever more publicity. In July 2000, the band got signed with mighty label, Relapse. A 7" split was made with Isis and 2000 copies were made. It sold out in a month. They later recorded and released "38 Counts Of Battery", which included the remastered "Explosions In Ward 6" album, tracks from the Isis and Orchid splits and their demo from 1997. In 2001, they released "Prowler in the yard" which is the most extreme album they've made to date. The album got them even more fame, and the band is now of the leading Grindcore bands. In 2004 they released the compilation album, "Painter of Dead Girls".
