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.

Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun... fun... fun!
POW POW!
Easy come
Easy go
POW POW!
Easy come
POW POW POW!
Easy go
This is the good for my belief
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun
I am the town that loves to lie
That shame passed by
This is the city where the windows weep
The only answer to my conceit
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
This is the good for my belief
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I could kill someone tonight
Slip and slide to the hurt and high
Run around with a switchblade
Come with you in the morning light
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
This finger itches for the spike and soon
In this city where you weep
Into the womb that is your only tomb
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
My god is good
My god is right
He'll give me what I need tonight
This is the good for my belief
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun
This is the good for my belief
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun
This is the good for my belief
This is the gun for my relief
This is the god
This is the gun
One is for killing one is for fun
My god is good
My god is right
God! Good!
God! Right!
The lyrics of PIG's song, "Arbor Vitate," explore themes of violence, power, and belief. The repeated lines, "This is the god, this is the gun, one is for killing one is for fun," suggest a dangerous fusion of divine faith and deadly weaponry. The singer expresses a desire for relief and excitement through violence, claiming that their god will provide what they need tonight. The refrain, "Pow pow, easy come, easy go," adds a sense of callousness and detachment to the act of killing.
The lyric "I am the town that loves to lie" suggests a culture steeped in deceit and manipulation. The singer sees their city as a place of sadness and despair, where even the windows weep. They seem to feel empowered by this darkness, claiming that their finger "itches for the spike and soon." The final repetition of "God! Good! God! Right!" is both a celebration and a warning; the singer is convinced of their own righteousness and the power of their god, but the violent imagery suggests that they may be a danger to others.
Overall, "Arbor Vitate" is a provocative exploration of the ways in which belief and violence can intersect. It suggests the possibility of dangerous extremism and raises questions about how we understand the relationship between faith and morality.
