1) In his past lives, PIG … Read Full Bio ↴There are more than one artist named PIG.
1) In his past lives, PIG was Lord Raymond Watts, known variously as Raymond Scaballero in Foetus, an icy addition to Psychic TV, a savage PA destroyer in Einstรผrzende Neubauten, and a founding catalyst of KMFDM. Watts began his arrest record in London where he was most likely pissed off about something and doing sound manipulations, loops and live sound for Psychic TV. He soon crashed into Einstรผrzende Neubauten (probably in a strip bar) and escaped the smug complacency of the English music scene by moving to Hamburg, Germany and setting up his Building Site studio in a bunker of munitions factory, where he invited in artists including Sprung Aus Den Wolken, Die Haut, and Christiane F. In his pursuit of a cutting edge music scene he sought out like-minded souls to create terrorism instead of tonality. Playing on European/American Neubauten tours, he quickly earned a reputation for destroying PA systems -- the security guards sent by the PA companies to protect the gear were not amused. Between their security thugs and ones hired by Watts to protect him from them, most nights ended up bloody, tense and occasionally on fire.
While collaborating with Neubauten's "gritter" twins: Blixa Bargeld and FM Einheit, Watts lived in the red light district next to a brothel, in amongst the sleaze of the Hamburg docks. Watts heard about Sascha Konietzko who was doing bizarre work with vacuum cleaners, and after drinking him into submission, dragged him and his tall, pale cohort En Esch down the stairs into the freezing Building Site studio, where they locked themselves into Watts' "frozen cesspit" with 20' steel sheets and other garbage, emerging with the debut What Do You Know Deutschland?
As one of the architects of the KMFDM sound, Watts went east to plow through the entrails of the German avant garde, planting the seed of his new experiment while KMFDM moved to America. The mutant was born out of the blood and piss in a basement studio opposite the Berlin Wall and became the 1988 debut album A Poke In The Eye. In addition, Watts was recruited by Foetus (Jim Thirwell) to be in his first live band, and after a European tour which involved disappearances, catholic school girls, and worms, Thirwell stayed on the produce the 12" Shit for Brains. Watts said he'd buy the next round and went to the US to record Steroid Maximus with Thirwell, and also did sound for Crime & the City Solution.
When the wall came down, Watts split his time between London and Tokyo, looking for a new alien habitat after Berlin's pleasure dome exploded. PIG morphed with various collaborators and Watts started working with Japanese musicians, turning his attention to Schaft, which became a huge hit there. The Watts system emerged as an elastic style of working with refuse and collaborating with pariahs: one man's trash is another man's treasure, darling.
Long-time PIG fan Trent Reznor came to see him around '91/'92 at a tiny club in Camden, England and introduced himself to the unimpressed Watts who was surprised that this fellow knew most of PIG's scattered discography. PIG was invited to open Nine Inch Nails' European tour in '94 -- complete with real pig heads on stage that were a load of fun after a few days' decomposition. Later, in 1995, Reznor's Nothing label released his fourth album, Sinsation.
In the mid 1990s, Konietzko ran into Watts again and they worked on the Sin, Sex & Salvation EP, which led to Watts returning to the fold for Nihil, the most successful KMFDM album to date, which included the Watts-penned hit Juke Joint Jezebel. Watts also appeared on the band's Symbols album, doing vocals on the delightfully-titled Spit Sperm and Unfit, while KMFDM's Gunter Schulz and Sascha Konietzko appear on the 1997 release Wrecked, furthering their incestuous relationship.
Still bigger in Japan than the rest of the world, PIG released his sixth album, Genuine American Monster, there in 1999. Finally, in 2002, PIG found a new American home with the Metropolis Records label, who had that year recently released the album ATTAK.
In 2012 PIG released two demos; written by Watts; and performed by Watts and Marc Heal (Cubanate) entitled: Drugzilla (Rough As A Hog's Arse Mix) released on June 8th; Shake (Rough Mix) released on July 14th; and Drugzilla (Pork Talk Mix by Raymond Watts) released on December 2nd.

Prayer Praise & Profit
PIG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll fuck you free
The secret of the senseless
Soiled sick, I see
Little lux Europe
Put your flesh on steel
Confusion is confession
The price is prejudicial
Hear the silent sing
With the spit and spat on
Burning broken wings
I defecate where you will dream
Prayer, praise, and profits prey
Take the pleasure's largest measure
Prayer, praise, and profits prey
Every hole is barred
See, your heart is tarred
Lying in the lap of hate
Where your skin is scarred
I defecate where you will dream
Prayer, praise, and profits prey
Take the pleasure's largest measure
Prayer, praise, and profits prey
Death does all the talking
It'll fuck you free
The secret of the senseless
Soiled sick, I see
Little lux Europe
Put your flesh on steel
Confusion is confession
I'll drive you wheel to wheel
The song "Prayer Praise & Profit" by PIG is a dark and haunting commentary on the corrupt nature of power, greed and religion. The opening lines "Death does all the talking, it'll f*** you free" sets up the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with images of destruction, defecation and despair. The chorus, "I defecate where you will dream, prayer, praise, and profits prey, take the pleasure's largest measure, prayer, praise, and profits prey" highlights the theme of exploitation where the powerful take advantage of the weak and use religion, politics and money as tools of control.
The lyrics also make references to Europe and its conflicting history of luxury and violence. The line "little lux Europe, put your flesh on steel" suggests that even in a land of abundance, there is still a thirst for bloodshed and power. The repeated line "confusion is confession, I'll drive you wheel to wheel" implies that those in power have the ability to manipulate and confuse their followers for their own gain. The final lines "lying in the lap of hate, where your skin is scarred" paints a picture of a society filled with pain and suffering, where hatred is the only emotion that remains.
