"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig" reasoned George

Bernard Shaw. "You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." True to

form, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have left the wiser of us

aware that they are no band to be messed with. This is made

manifest on 'Viscerals', their third proper, and an enormous leap

forward in confidence, adventure and sheer intensity even from

their 2018 breakthrough 'King Of Cowards'. Incisive in its riffdriven attack, infectiously catchy in its songcraft and more intrepid

than ever in its experimental approach, 'Viscerals' is the sound of a

leaner, more vicious Pigs, and one with their controls set way

beyond the pulverising one-riff workouts of their early days. Yet

Pigsx7 have effortlessly broadened their horizons and dealt with all

these new avenues without sacrificing one iota of their trademark

eccentricity, and the personality of this band has never been

stronger, whether on the Sabbathian and philosophical warcry of

'Reducer', the debauched, Jane's Addiction-tinged swagger of

'Rubbernecker', the Melvins vs Sonic Youth demoltion derby of

'New Body' or even the demented MBV-meets-Twisted-Sister

party-banger from hell that is 'Crazy In Blood'. "We're a peculiar

bunch of people - a precarious balance of passion, intensity and

the absurd" notes vocalist Matt Baty. Such is the unstoppable

character of this unique and ever-porcine outfit; still the hungriest

animals at the rock trough.
