Alternative music legend Raymond Watts <\/strong>a.k.a. <\/strong>PIG<\/strong><\/a> presents his new ‘Feast of Agony’ <\/strong><\/a>EP<\/strong><\/a>, released via Metropolis Records<\/strong><\/a>, and new video for ‘Fallout’<\/strong><\/a>, undeniably the most catchy among the six coruscating tracks found on this release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Feast of Agony’ is the sound of PIG crushing the grinding wheel of grief with the seed of hope and relief. Watts\u2019 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EP kicks off with the monstrous ‘Heroin for the Damned’<\/strong>, 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\u2019 collaborator-in-chief Jim Davies<\/strong>, a longtime member of Pitchshifter<\/strong>, but best known for his acidic and acerbic guitar lines on many chart hits by The Prodigy<\/strong>. The remaining tracks are a cure that\u2019s kind\u2026 and a call to the deserts of desperation from the promised land of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This EP arrives on the trail of the remastered reissue of PIG’s landmark 1995 \u2018Sinsation\u2019 album<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>(originally released via Trent Reznor’s Nothing Records<\/strong>) and his latest studio album \u2018Red Room\u2019<\/strong><\/a>, released earlier this year – both albums released via Metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 <\/strong>(he was a member of the band in their early days), Nine Inch Nails<\/strong> and Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten<\/strong>, written music for fashion and film (for Chloe, Marios Schwab, Halston and The Row), created exhibition sound design for the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/strong> in New York, and collaborated with the late fashion icon Alexander McQueen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts will continue his oration against hopelessness, hypocrisy and the ever creeping tide of despair on PIG’s \u2018Heroin For The Damned\u2019 tour<\/strong><\/a> across North America, kicking off on September 28. Joined byCurse Mackey<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and Unitcode : Machine<\/strong><\/a>, this 40-date itinerary follows PIG’s headlining set at Cold Waves XII <\/strong>in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n
