Pigs
-
the
Newcastle-based
maximalists
whose
riffs,
raw
power
and
rancour
have
blazed
a
trail
across
the
darker
quarters
of
the
underground
the
last
ten
years
-
made
their
impressive
second
album
King
Of
Cowards
in
2018,
which
does
its
damnedest
to
take
consciousness
to
its
very
limits.
Moreover,
another
notable
seven
is
dealt
with
here
-
that
of
the
deadly
sins.
As
vocalist
and
synth
player
Matt
Baty
notes
“For
a
long
time
I’ve
questioned
how
and
where
guilt
can
be
used
as
a
form
of
oppression.
When
can
guilt
be
converted
into
positive
action?
After
typing
all
of
the
lyrics
up
I
realised
I’d
unwittingly
referenced
every
one
of
the
seven
deadly
sins
throughout
the
album.
That’s
my
fire
and
brimstone
Catholic
upbringing
coming
into
play
there!”.
Building
on
the
momentum
this
band
has
built
since
their
January
2017
debut
Feed
The
Rats,
this
opus
sees
them
entering
a
new
phase
as
a
sleeker
and
still
more
dangerous
swineherd.
The
Iggy-esque
drive
to
dementia,
Sabbath-esque
squalor
and
Motörhead-style
dirt
may
still
be
present
and
correct,
yet
the
songs
are
leaner,
the
long-drawn-out
riff-fests
sharpened
into
addictive
hammer
blows
and
the
nihilistic
dirges
of
yore
alchemically
transformed
into
an
uplifting
and
inviting
barrage
of
hedonistic
abandon.
"The
creatures
outside
looked
from
pig
to
man,
and
from
man
to
pig,
and
from
pig
to
man
again;
but
already
it
was
impossible
to
say
which
was
which”
So
George
Orwell
noted
at
the
end
of
a
certain
slim
volume.
King
Of
Cowards
is
nothing
less
than
just
such
a
metamorphosis,
one
in
which
-
in
a
blur
of
primal
urges
and
beastly
physicality
-
this
band
shows
us
just
which
animals
are
really
in
charge
of
the
farm.
This
2023
repress
is
available
on
a
special,
limited
edition
‘Regal
Splatter’
vinyl.
