Newcastle (UK) riff wizards Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (or just Pigs X7 for those who find counting up to seven hard), who toured Australia for the first time in late 2023 for an appearance at the Meredith Festival, a run of shows The Mark Of Cain and more, are set to release a new album Death Hilarious on April 4, 2025.
The new album – the band’s fifth studio album – is defined by calculated aggression and self-lacerating lyrics. Its startling bonuses include playful synth work and the appearance of a giant from hip-hop. With its title juxtaposing absurdity and seriousness, this is Death Hilarious.
The album’s first single, the stomping Stitches – which has been described as like Motörhead trying to perform glam rock with a tipsy keyboardist – has been given a full add-on the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist.
