PIG DESTROYER - "The Diplomat" (Official Music Video)

[@blacksunshine7122]

monolith of inhumanity is the album that saved my life. Piggy and Cattle need to do a split and they know it too.

[@LethalWiener]

That opening scream/growl/grunt whatever you want to call it absolutely makes this song.

[@justin2221]

reminded me of lord worm

[@thegrindcoreenthusiast7293]

0:49 OOOOOOAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

Relapse records is such a killer label!

[@kylesmith5633]

Message is pretty obvious from video and song title. The time-honored us tradition of "arming the 'savages'" and then getting mad when we suffer backlash after instigating and participating in violence in their homelands.

[@kimmiemurphy9955]

true that

[@SirDiscern]

Nice broski

[@Dave-xq7yt]

12 years later and it's still better than any video I've seen since.

[@FenderJazzStudent]

I also like the lyrics to this song (they're brilliant): We never ever change. We make the same mistakes. If you're gonna have roads, youre gonna have roadkill. Thats the risk that it takes: stone guns, primitive tanks. Base emotions drive the horde. The diplomat takes the rook from the board. I want to know what was in the briefcase. Colder than cold war, enemies without uniforms.

[@Aforgottenempire]

Holly shit this video is legendary. Opened up for the music stayed for the video.

[@austinthefreak]

I think the movement of the white-masked guy was stop-motion. That's what really had me going! Plus the coloration and special effects just looked very sick. This is definitely a fresh breath of air from the overwhelming cliche of "Shaky camera in a dark room while performing" videos.

[@cheetopendejo6660]

keep coming back. no hyperbole, greatest music video ever? yes

[@kimmiemurphy9955]

the video is genius

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

Best. Video. Ever. I love the crazy facial expressions that cross the Diplomat's face.

[@austinthefreak]

I can't even imagine what kind of work went into editing this. This is an incredible video.

[@meatbinbanquet]

amazing. one of the most original videos i have seen in quite a while

[@rjn8001]

Anybody who's seen 2001 knows the briefcase represents power through the knowledge of how to manipulate. Man has learned how to impose his will on others. Really awesome video. Anyone know who came up with the concept?

[@peterkohlichhaus2786]

I came here to ask if they were related ^^ After watching the 2001 I got a better grasp of Monolith of Inhumanity as well.

[@WookieDrives]

Love both videos. Love the 2001 concepts of both.

[@johngilhool8466]

ExplosionWard9 k

[@joseeduardo4327]

I would argue it’s a primate thing honestly

[@TERRRORIZER]

Nothing left to say, to add or comment..... thank you PD !!! You rule !!!!

[@ninjosolo1624]

that my friends ...was awesome!!!

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

I love the rifle "tings" really adds to the message

[@Graveoffeces666]

Great band, song, and video. Very creative

[@taniahumenuk583]

Thanks Mr. Donovan!! This ROCKS!! Love those riffs!!

[@conkerfreak]

I'd love to see a "making of" video for this!

[@baalyezidi]

Silencer is one of my fav bands to listen on these cold winter nights...

[@yoshimaka4081]

People are always saying music videos these days are weird, but never have I seen something like this....

[@Philipp_Ravelo]

I honestly don't know how I found this video but this is some crazy shit. And I love it!

[@Duckman118]

See if I knew Grindcore was like this, I would have given the genre more of a chance. this is great.

[@InsaneDeathMachine]

More than awesome!!!

[@ShootingDope]

the backdrop for this video looks very similar to the album cover for come my fanatics by electric wizard!

[@janaina6216]

Mind blowing, too good.

[@BenHarrisProductions]

Not the biggest fan of this band by any means but this video is one of the most artistic ive seen in a while

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

Song starts at 0:38

[@XerxesTheBomb]

Not really into this style of Metal, but this video is seriously awesome. Very well done and carries a great message.

[@skunkt4]

This is my new favorite video. just awesome!

[@todderick69]

'Da bomb.... It's so raw and abrasive! As usual!

[@Caminacels]

got my preorder deluxe CD and shirt today... awesome

[@emptysustenance]

Didn't this happen in history once

[@SlaughteredInside]

Yeah, several times actually.

[@ANTEKHRIST666]

when white men went to africa

[@sirbattlecat]

ANTEKHRIST (Black Metal) pretty much anywhere I'd say

[@vladi1Z]

+ANTEKHRIST (Black Metal) Its not like Africa was ever peaceful...

[@vladi1Z]

***** bullshit, africa was always devided into many tribes, most of them barbaric (in modern terms)... it was NEVER peaceful. In every area you had constant wars of land, racism, food, religion and etc... Actually the white people from europe CALMED the wars in africa, Africa knew its biggest peace while being ruled by the europeans. Later when the decolonization started being popular and the Africans wanted independence, they took most of what the europeans built, and threw everything to shit as before...

[@dilutinginertia]

Very original !!! Nice work !!

[@ubiozmiec]

This makes so much sense even in the abstract way it was displayed, but that's grind for you, the video reminds my a lot of Napalm Death, which are my favorite band of all time. U can't have no diplomats unless u have war, pretty simple message, so vividly expressed, so awesome, thumbs up!

[@EdwinaRigormuerteTreehorse]

99 people are wrong. I love this video.

[@HexBaT1979]

Вся суть нынешних мировых событий в клипе 2012 года.

[@memory4203]

Best music video of 2012.

[@Belly4720]

The world needs to look like this

[@Metallica4640]

i love the intro so much

[@RayGunWorX]

Great vid. The diplomat dude is so insane looking.

[@oncelarikan9237]

nice song, brilliant video.

[@Prepaidgeecko]

Awesome creative video and a sick band. Love it.

[@KeyFrame11Media]

Great video, great concept

[@austinthefreak]

@vestibule1443 are tons of special effects going on here. Green screen, when done realistically, is WAY harder to edit than most people make it out to be. There are also tons of little effects like speed-up and stop-motion techniques that most people won't even consciously notice just for the sake of making the video more intense. You have no idea what it takes to edit.

[@viniciusfa37]

Is this from the same director of High On Fire's Fertile Green?

[@WayofDaGun]

THis was so uniquely fucked up and demented, everything I imagined from what a Pig Destroyer video truely should be. Sick, make a video for every track, please!

[@Niamorg1007]

You got it, it's about mankind.

[@resistnzisfutl]

That was freaking awesome!

[@marshaul]

Love this video. Repo Man + 2001 + PxDx + LSD + that video on youtube with the African soldiers giving the ape an AK = this video

[@misanthrope1920]

I'm no film expert, but I believe if you take out a couple of frames you get that creepy glitch effect on body movement, the video is awesome though

[@joewhatsit67]

this is the greatest video of all time LOL this band is too sick!

[@benmiddleton9984]

AWESOME!!!! I love this band!

[@SomeDude_92]

3:57 is SO EERIE/OMINOUS and DISTURBING.

[@theist7408]

Hard to believe this video is 8 years old now

[@Heavymetalvideogamer]

What do you have against violence? It's just being all quiet, minding it's own business. In fact... it looks all furry and cute, and I want to pet it. Scratch behind it's ear. A little violence never hurt nobody.

[@4183RtdF]

This video is just amazing!!

[@WayofDaGun]

we never ever change. we make the same mistakes. if youre gonna have roads. youre gonna have roadkill. thats the risk that it takes. stone guns. primitive tanks. base emotions drive the horde. the diplomat takes the rook from the board. i want to know what was int he briefcase. colder than cold war. enemies without uniforms.

[@driekone]

Great message too.

[@dah2106262]

i have no idea what make of this video its purely amazing though

[@NickSwe]

current status of the world I would say.

[@MynamesRAnonymous]

Some people know exactly what is intended with these lyrics and then some more>Maybe some like to keep it for themselves as a lot of people tend to do with Piggy D material.Don`t judge man!You sound diplomatic and "holier than thou."

[@RobertMurraydrums]

is that sam from the whitest kids you know?

[@sakMFKR]

+Robert Murray I'm sorry but that is not him

[@PanasonicTooth]

+steven kitchens You are forgiven.

[@webster74877]

So cool!

[@againstthecurse]

i have a pretty general idea of what the message behind this video is, but I would appreciate it if someone elaborated fairly deeply on what the message is. I'm just very interested in understanding.

[@bradb.2565]

The briefcase holds the demiurges confused blind chaotic malevolence..

[@Leoautor25]

really awesome !

[@takhs91]

Amazing!

[@deceiver444]

Sad but true

[@yoshi9538]

What does that briefcase represent?

[@BlemishesNow]

greed

[@TallGraham]

That was really cool!

[@Mdrobile]

Hull/Hayes 2016!

[@seaofseeof]

I see they've increased their budget since 'Piss Angel'!

[@driekone]

Piiiiiiiiggg DEESTROOOYEEER!

[@bskdopeboy]

Very, very much!!

[@SuperBanti]

Reminded me of Fertile Green by High on Fire

[@sunburnedgoat]

Incredible

[@ganondorfchampin]

2001: A Space Odyssey reference?

[@kingsizeblues616]

2014: A planet earth reference

[@philgecko]

***** 2012

[@RobertMurraydrums]

ganondorfchampin this is a reference to the film "being john malkovich"

[@heavymetalzombiepilot4049]

I watched that movie a few weeks ago and the scenes with the apes made me think back to this video I wish they sold fabric posters on their record labels' website

[@erethiom]

That dude is great.

[@respaar380]

This whole video is a acid induced fever dream

[@bskdopeboy]

Sounds like Burnt but the Sun... very much!!!!!

[@Josh-oe4ex]

My buddy John is the new bass player. Was AJ the drummer in this song?

[@mattzyvonoski892]

Josh Nance Yes

[@resistnzisfutl]

Badass song, stupid simplistic message. It's how it goes. Anyway, it's a good tune to turn to when doing heavy deads or squats.

[@andresBAR69]

awesome,message !

[@acidoblivion]

Do they use 7 string guitars?

[@michaelavarice]

Yes

[@benmiddleton9984]

Gotta love em.

[@shadowpack1]

Hey Relapse! When are you going to change the description to "Taken from the critically acclaimed album"?

[@necronomicon751]

awesome, brilliant

[@MrNucleosome]

"After his failed career as a villian in a computer game, Slenderman decided to get into the music video business"

[@Bobloblawwww]

damn.....im gonna play this at my super bowl party.

[@lex.cordis]

Dude, I totally see it.

[@joseeduardo4327]

Workaholics brought me here

[@misanthrope1920]

this is a sick rendition of space odyssey

[@elvislad]

Wow good song and crazy vid

[@cloudkicker1000]

very true!

[@NomadDCLXVI]

Yeah! Have fun with your funny book.

[@Isolatedcockpit13]

That is Bad ass!

[@shadowpack1]

Well if Pig Destroyer was trying to achieve a pop music sound here, then this would be a shitty pop song, but they're going for grind and this is some pretty damn good grindcore.

[@alexanderferus7816]

Great metal 🤘💀🤘🎸

[@vannjunkin8041]

Damn this was 6 years ago?

[@bacongl]

Badass!
