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 Einstürzende 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 Einstürzende 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.

Volcano
PIG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And heal all the scars
On this broken skin
And drown in this cup
And the flies they will flock
And throw into the dock
And listen with a crooked ear
And they cackle and they sneer
And the river will rise up
And the matter of murder
Sits on my shoulder
And whispers to me
That I will be free
God Volcano!
Give me my self respect I plead
God Volcano!
This one thing I can believe
And the river will rise up
And in your lonely dark designs
Feel the cut and scaly rind
The malice and the wicked crimes
Of the sordid daily grind
And the river will rise up
And the words they spit with hate
Will never mitigate
Any semblance of the truth
That's broken or despised
*God Volcano!
Give me my self respect I plead
God Volcano!
This one thing I can believe
God Volcano!
Bring your flesh right into me
You are the air that I can breathe
In Pig's song Volcano, the lyrics depict a sense of desperation and seeking for hope amidst darkness and brokenness. The metaphor of the river rising up suggests a sense of renewal and healing, washing away old wounds and scars. The flies that flock to the river represent those who seek to criticize and judge, but the singer remains resilient in their pursuit of truth and self-respect.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's struggles with guilt and the weight of past mistakes, personified by the "matter of murder" sitting on their shoulder. The singer seeks a sense of deliverance and finds solace in the God Volcano, who they plead with for self-respect and belief.
Overall, the lyrics of Volcano present a poignant message of resilience and hope, even amidst darkness and turmoil. The use of metaphor and vivid imagery creates a sense of emotional depth and complexity that draws the listener in.
Line by Line Meaning
And the river will rise up
Nature has the power to heal and cleanse all wounds
And heal all the scars
All the damage and hurt will eventually subside
On this broken skin
On the surface of what was once perfect and untarnished
And drown in this cup
Drowning in sorrow and pain
And the flies they will flock
Other scavengers will come to take advantage and feed off the misfortune
And throw into the dock
Discard and dispose of the remains without care or remorse
And listen with a crooked ear
Lurking and eavesdropping with ill intentions
And they cackle and they sneer
Mocking and insulting with joy
And the matter of murder
The weight and guilt of a past sin
Sits on my shoulder
A constant reminder of the crime committed
And whispers to me
The temptation and possibility of freedom through a destructive path
That I will be free
The twisted belief that violence and destruction will lead to liberation
God Volcano!
An exclamation of desperation and hope for an all-powerful being to save them
Give me my self respect I plead
Asking for dignity and self-worth to be restored
This one thing I can believe
The one concept that they still have faith in
And in your lonely dark designs
In the depths of their own isolation and despair
Feel the cut and scaly rind
Experience emotional pain and desensitization
The malice and the wicked crimes
The intention and actions of evil and wrongdoing
Of the sordid daily grind
The monotonous, depressing routine of life
And the words they spit with hate
The hurtful, venomous insults they hurl at others
Will never mitigate
Those words will never make up for the damage caused
Any semblance of the truth
They can no longer distinguish between truth and lies
That's broken or despised
The reality that is rejected or denied
God Volcano!
The plea for salvation from a higher power
Bring your flesh right into me
Merge with me and fill this emptiness
You are the air that I can breathe
The one necessity for survival and vitality
