PIG - Fallout

Industrial music legend Raymond Watts a.k.a. PIG has shared his new single 'Fallout', undoubtedly the most catchy among the six coruscating tracks found on his new 'Feast of Agony' EP, out on September 27 via Metropolis Records.

This EP arrives on the trail of the remastered reissue of PIG's landmark 1995 ‘Sinsation’ album (originally released via Trent Reznor's Nothing Records) and his latest studio album ‘Red Room’, released earlier this year - both albums released via Metropolis.

Raymond Watts aka PIG has enjoyed a stellar career since starting out as a pioneering member of the mid-1980s industrial rock scene. As well as releasing fourteen albums as PIG, he has toured with KMFDM (he was a member of the band in their early days), Nine Inch Nails and Einstürzende Neubauten, written music for fashion and film (for Chloe, Marios Schwab, Halston and The Row), created exhibition sound design for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and collaborated with the late fashion icon Alexander McQueen.

'Feast of Agony' is the sound of PIG crushing the grinding wheel of grief with the seed of hope and relief. Watts’ anger burns and binds as he cooks up more kick-ass music, begging you to march to the drumbeat of hope with these encounters with the Lord of Lard, in which he brings word to wordless and truth to the truthless.

The EP kicks off with the monstrous 'Heroin for the Damned', screaming like a demon officiating at his own funeral while trying to stem the wounds of reality with the joy juice of depravity, which was co-written with Watts’ collaborator-in-chief Jim Davies, a longtime member of Pitchshifter, but best known for his acidic and acerbic guitar lines on many chart hits by The Prodigy,

The remaining tracks are a cure that’s kind… and a call to the deserts of desperation from the promised land of truth.

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, kicking off on September 28. Joined by Curse Mackey and Unitcode : Machine, this 40-date itinerary follows PIG's headlining set at Cold Waves XII in Chicago.

As of September 27, the 'Feast of Agony' EP is available everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, along with the 'Red Room' and 'Sinsation (Remastered)' albums. The vinyl edition of 'Feast of Agony' is only available on the tour.
