All Pigs Must Die is a band I discovered for the first time watching them kick the holy bejesus out of an audience at a Seattle club on August 18. They were taking part in Southern Lord’s The Power of the Riff tour. I mainly went to see Pelican, but discovered a lot of other awesome bands in the process, APMD being one of them (see our partial review of that show here). Southern Lord has just recently released the band’s debut album, God Is War, and it’s a hard-to-define amalgam of punk, hardcore, crust, black metal, and death metal that’s beastly.
But God Is War isn’t the main reason for this post. The main reason is that APMD was persuaded by CVLT NATION to select songs for a mixtape that the site released for free download yesterday. The band explained what they did: “This is a selection of songs from bands that have have influenced us as a whole and as individual players. Our goal was to put together a range of music that has contributed to our musical output as a band, rather than compiling a list of more obscure songs we may each be listening to at the moment. So while you may have heard much of this before, we hope you enjoy hearing it all at once.”
Perhaps reflecting the eclectic mix of styles you can hear in APMD’s own music, the mixtape is a wide-ranging compilation, and a fucking good one to boot. In toto, it’s an hour and a half of music, and includes songs by 27 bands. Just a few examples: Electric Wizard, Amebix, Leviathan, Neurosis, Blue Oyster Cult, Pentagram, Hawkwind, Entombed, The Secret, Dismember, Trap Them, Black Sabbath, and Nick Cave. To stream all the music and to download the mixtape, visit the CVLT NATION page via this link. We’ve also included the full track list after the jump.

not a very big fan of apmd but that is one hell of a cover man! guess im going to check that mixtape out, im very curious to hear the Leviathan song.
turns out i allready knew that leviathan song, i just did not remember it.
The cover is indeed cool. Kinda reminds me of the style of Justin Bartlett’s cover for Dragged Into Sunlight’s album:

Man, had a flashback hearing that Dismember track… I haven’t listened to ‘Like an Ever Flowing Stream’ in YEARS.
Well dude, that’s way too fuckin long. If you’re not careful, you’ll become weak and weak-minded.
This is why I come here: for spiritual guidance. Well, and the various health tips… I’m still working on that one-handed skull crushing.
Good, that’s a step in the right direction. But have you tried The Lindgren Diet yet? We’re rolling out the Day Three meal plan tomorrow. It includes a heretofore undisclosed secret ingredient.
Anyone else have problems getting the download to even play? WMP plays it just fine, but Winamp doesn’t budge, which is unusual, since will play truncated files just fine.
I downloaded this, but haven’t loaded it on iTunes yet for playing. I’ll do that when I get home to the computer where I downloaded, though since I’m a Mac user I’m not sure my experience will do you much good.
