The anger of PIG head hog Raymond Watts burns and binds as he cooks up more of the kick-ass on his coruscating new EP, Feast Of Agony, due on 27 September via Metropolis Records. He begs listeners to march to the drumbeat of hope with six epic songs and encounters with the Lord Of Lard, in which he brings word to the wordless and truth to the truthless.
The EP kicks off with "Heroin For The Damned", a monstrous song co-written with Watts' collaborator-in-chief Jim Davies that screams like a demon officiating at his own funeral while trying to stem the wounds of reality with the joy juice of depravity. The accompanying tracks "Fallout", "Comedown", "Hand Of Mercy", "The Ratchet Effect", and "Baptise Bless & Bleed" are a cure that's kind...and a call to the deserts of desperation from the promised land of truth.
In summary, Feast Of Agony is the sound of PIG crushing the grinding wheel of grief with the seed of hope and relief.
Feast Of Agony follows the recent remastered reissue of PIG's landmark 1995 album Sinsation and the 2024 studio album Red Room, both out via Metropolis Records.
Watts will continue his oration against hopelessness, hypocrisy and the ever-creeping tide of despair on PIG's Heroin For The Damned tour across North America this autumn. Link
