This article is about a former band, for other uses see Pile driver (disambiguation)

Piledriver was a Canadian power/thrash metal band, founded in 1985 by Gord Kirchin. They were known for an over-the-top image and flamboyant song titles/lyrics ("Sex With Satan", "Alien Rape", "Sodomize the Dead", "Witch Hunt", "Human Sacrifice", etc). Probably their best known song was the title track of their debut album Metal Inquisition, which featured in the chorus the sound of a falling guillotine blade chopping someone's head off. The album was followed by Stay Ugly a year later.

The band soon disappeared. Years later, Pile Driver himself, stage name of Gord Kirchin, revealed that the band and albums were just a studio project, and that the band, never really existed at all, with all the names made up, as was virtually everything else about the band. Kirchin later formed his own band, Dogs With Jobs, and sporadically had been working on solo material. In 2005, the band was reformed as The Exalted Piledriver, a live band.
