Death Hilarious

Limited transparent orange colored vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release. The fifth album from Newcastle's riff wizards Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs is defined by calculated aggression and self-lacerating lyrics. It's startling bonuses include playful synth work and the appearance of a giant from hip-hop. With it's title juxtaposing absurdity and seriousness, this is Death Hilarious. Whereas 2023's Land Of Sleeper was conceived as an immersive headphones experience, this time Pigs strove for something more directly hostile. "We wanted it to be a slap in the face," grins producer and guitarist Sam Grant. That objective came, in part, from playing so many gigs over the last couple of years. The band felt well-oiled and ripe to give listeners at home the kind of pummelling their audiences receive.
