Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs

English rock outfit Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (or "PIGSx7" for short) combine acid rock, psych-metal, and stoner influences into a thick sludge of riffs and menacing bellows. Suggesting a meeting of the minds between Black Sabbath and Hawkwind under the influence of especially nasty hallucinogens, PIGSx7 generate a burly, hard-hitting sound that makes room for sonic experimentation and gargantuan guitar riffs, though the overwhelming heaviness of their sound is what rules the day. On their debut album, 2017's Feed the Rats, the group built their music around lengthy performances. By the time they cut 2020's Viscerals, the songs were more compact, but the aggressive stomp of the band was still as brutal as fans could wish. Despite already having a reputation for blowing eardrums and acting slightly unhinged, they mined even darker depths on their fourth album, 2023's Land of Sleeper.
