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 EinstĆ¼rzende 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 EinstĆ¼rzende 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.

Reject
Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I look down
It's just begun when you say "go"
I will come
Survival counts, my weakness costs
Constant cutting, constant loss
And every time I turn around
I say "get up"
I used to know, I used to feel
I could believe in something real
That you reject
And every day it all comes down
To just one sweet hit
The hook, the whore
You know the score
Cause we've heard it all before
This concert hall of reeking smells
Slips inside where suffering dwells
The same old haunting notes that sell
Cause in your dreams
You're judged in hell
I used to know, I used to feel
I could believe in something real
Now I am sold as the fists
Fall each time, every step
Leads to the crime
I'm not the cause, nor effect
Just an excuse
That you reject
Every word I said
That you reject
Scarred into my head
That you reject
Every thing I try
That you reject
Each broken, bloody lie
That you reject
My hatred's sharpened knife
That you reject
Each broken, burning, bloody lie
That you reject
Broken lie
Broken life
In PIG's song Reject, the lyrics offer a bleak and hopeless view of the singer's life. The song begins with the idea of a power dynamic between two people that is constantly shifting. The singer feels both looked down upon and looked up to, but ultimately there is an unspoken agreement to go along with the other individual's demands, even if it costs the singer dearly. Survival is key, but the singer is acutely aware of the sacrifices made along the way, including cutting off parts of oneself to fit into this toxic relationship.
The second verse shifts the focus to addiction and the cycle of exploitation that often comes with it. The "concert hall of reeking smells" alludes to the grime and grit of addiction, while the "haunting notes that sell" refer to the seductive promises made by substances. Ultimately, the singer acknowledges that they are not the cause or effect of this cycle, but rather an excuse used by the other person to justify their own actions. The final lines of the song emphasize the brokenness of this situation, with the repetition of the phrase "broken, bloody lie" serving as a reminder of the singer's desperation and the pervasive sense of deception that defines their existence.
Overall, Reject is a commentary on the power dynamics present in abusive relationships, whether they be personal or related to addiction. The lyrics are raw and unapologetic in their honesty, painting a vivid and harrowing picture of a life steeped in pain and betrayal.

And every day you look me up
Every day you search for me
And I look down
And I feel inferior
It's just begun when you say "go"
Our interactions start when you give me the signal
I will come
I will comply with your request
Survival counts, my weakness costs
My survival depends on pleasing you, but it comes at a cost of exposing my weaknesses
Constant cutting, constant loss
I keep losing parts of myself as you continually criticize me
And every time I turn around
Every time I try to improve
I say "get up"
I push myself to keep going
And you go down
But you bring me down
I used to know, I used to feel
I used to have clarity, emotions
I could believe in something real
I could trust what was genuine
That you reject
But you rejected it all
And every day it all comes down
Every day boils down to one thing
To just one sweet hit
The high from getting what I want
The hook, the whore
The appealing and addictive aspects
You know the score
You're aware of how it works
Cause we've heard it all before
Because it's all been done and said
This concert hall of reeking smells
This atmosphere of decay and depravity
Slips inside where suffering dwells
Penetrates one's pain and misery
The same old haunting notes that sell
The same enticing tunes that draw people in
Cause in your dreams
Because in your subconscious
You're judged in hell
You're punished for your actions
Now I am sold as the fists
Now you control me as you use violence against me
Fall each time, every step
I get hurt with every blow, at every turn
Leads to the crime
Leads to the wrongdoing
I'm not the cause, nor effect
I am just a pawn, neither the root nor consequence of the problem
Just an excuse
Just a reason to justify your behavior
That you reject
That you refuse to acknowledge
Every word I said
Every thought and expression I shared
Scarred into my head
Embedded in my mind as trauma
Every thing I try
Every attempt I make
That you reject
That you dismiss
Each broken, bloody lie
Each deceitful and harmful statement
My hatred's sharpened knife
My anger turned into a weapon against you
Each broken, burning, bloody lie
Each lie that caused pain and irreversible damage
Broken lie
Falsehoods that destroyed trust
Broken life
A life shattered by cruelty
