Looks like PxDx has a new drummer. Last night, guitarist Scott Hull posted this photo of drummer Adam Jarvis (Misery Index) announcing him as the new drummer. There is no word on why former skinsman Brian Harvey is out of the band, and while I loved his drumming, Jarvis is a more than suitable replacement and honestly gets me even more excited about this mythical new Pig Destroyer record (that we probably won't see until 2012 at the earliest).
Could this have been what was holding up the recording so long? It could be, as the band has also announced some West Coast shows, their first shows in over a year. According to American Aftermath, Oregon and Portland is on the band's radar for September. This news official made my day/week/month. Now excuse me while I go listen to Pig Destroyer's back catalog.
