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.

Ojo Por Ojo
Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something wicked this way comes
Look down that bloody street for bloody
Miles and blooduy miles where bloody feet have
Sought a trail of dreams that now lie broken
On some bloody stake that is branded "Ojo por ojo."
And runs beside it, there, in the
Deep and the dark beyond the liquid
Reeking sewer that is a mind.
Where the lesion hides a lesson, where
Stigmata turns to stigma cries crescendo to
Cantata... The whiplash of suffering full in the face.
And in that place there is no cross,
No crown, no sacred ground,
All is done and left unsaid.
How the tongues are ripped,
The people bled, and there it is
Written on the slug that is lead
"Killing is company" so step right up and
Ride the rubber road to freedom...
This is the blow off
The lyrics of PIG's song "Ojo Por Ojo" are filled with references to violence, suffering, and the consequences of revenge. The opening lines "By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes" suggest a sense of foreboding and impending danger. The ensuing imagery of a bloody street, broken dreams, and a branded stake alludes to the notion of an eye for an eye, where violent actions only lead to further violence and destruction. The line "Killing is company" highlights the idea that violence can become a habit or even a form of entertainment, further perpetuating the cycle of revenge.
The lyrics also contain a sense of despair and hopelessness. The line "And in that place there is no cross, No crown, no sacred ground, All is done and left unsaid" suggests a lack of redemption or salvation for those involved in violence. The reference to a "Reeking sewer that is a mind" implies a deep-seated corruption or darkness within the human psyche. The final line "This is the blow off" emphasizes the finality and irreversible nature of violence.
Overall, "Ojo Por Ojo" is a haunting commentary on the dangers of revenge and violence, and the destructive nature of the human condition.

Imagine going through your old journals with this on in the background and you find the poetry you wrote about your mother dying of cancer with doctor appointment dates scribbled at the top that she never made it to because she died before them. I had a very intense evening. Absolutely fantastic track. 10/10 would accidentally relive trauma to again.

Blades is my favorite pig song and it’s not on Spotify 😐

The cascading scale that runs in the background is a sample from the original theme to a BBC kid's TV show, Blue Peter. The theme music used was 'Barnacle Bill' (a sea shanty). The version sampled is the version used from the 1950s to 1979 before it was redone by Mike Oldfield. Listen here http://youtu.be/Ns_lF5zeSBs
