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.

Vitriol Vice and Virtue
Pig Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hit, you hurt, resign
Your crust will crumble into mine
You carve your crime with mine
And one more sucker tows the line
The devil's debt, my little deals
I take my corners on two wheels

Keep it dumb, just one hitch

I am the scratch you could never itch
Keep it dumb, just one hitch
My god is begging me for one more fix

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

Vitriol, vice, and virtue
Vitriol, vice, and virtue

Your cure, my sewer
I'll take your time upon the skewer
I fleet so much, and with your touch
This piglet needs to feel your crutch
The crush, the cry
The scream, the lie
The answer crawls out of your eye
The hope, the tricks
My god is begging me for one more fix

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

Vitriol, vice, and virtue
Vitriol, vice, and virtue
Vitriol, vice, and virtue

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
I hate to break, but I can't relate
So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby

Vitriol, vice, and virtue
Vitriol, vice, and virtue

Vitriol, vice, and virtue
Vitriol, vice, and virtue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PIG's song Vitriol Vice and Virtue are cryptic and full of dark imagery, exploring themes of violence, power, control, and addiction. The song appears to be narrated by someone who is struggling with inner demons - perhaps addiction or mental illness - and is willing to use violent means to silence or bury their problems.

The opening lines "You hit, you hurt, resign / Your crust will crumble into mine" suggest a relationship built on abuse and manipulation, where the singer is both victim and perpetrator. The line "I am the scratch you could never itch" suggests a dangerous and unstable personality, while "My god is begging me for one more fix" evokes the desperation and desperation of addiction.

The chorus "Vitriol, vice, and virtue / Vitriol, vice, and virtue" seems to be a commentary on the three things that dominate the singer's life: hatred and anger (vitriol), sinful or immoral behavior (vice), and moral goodness or righteousness (virtue). The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the ongoing struggle between these forces in the singer's life.

Overall, the lyrics to Vitriol Vice and Virtue are a disturbing and thought-provoking exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, and the ways in which these forces can shape our thoughts, actions, and relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

You hit, you hurt, resign
You cause pain and when faced with the consequences, you give up

Your crust will crumble into mine
Your tough exterior will break down and become intertwined with mine

You carve your crime with mine
You commit your wrongdoings alongside me

And one more sucker tows the line
And yet another person blindly follows us

The devil's debt, my little deals
The consequences of my actions are like a debt to the devil, but I continue to make shady agreements

I take my corners on two wheels
I live dangerously and carelessly

Keep it dumb, just one hitch
Keep things simple, with just one small complication

I am the scratch you could never itch
I am the temptation that you can never resist

My god is begging me for one more fix
I am addicted to the thrill and excitement of risky behavior

I hate to break, but I can't relate
I don't want to disappoint, but I don't understand or empathize with your problems

So I shoot, shovel, and shut up, baby
So I take drastic and violent actions to keep things quiet
