PIG, Cyanotic, DNE

**PIG** is the main project of British musician Raymond Watts, a founding member of German industrial stalwarts KMFDM. Grittier and more experimental than many of the more well-known industrial acts, Pig's early albums, such as 1988's A Poke in the Eye... with a Sharp Stick, incorporated jazz and orchestral influences, not unlike sometime collaborator Foetus, along with metal guitars and complex dance beats. Subsequent albums were harder and more guitar-driven, yet featured surprising elements like the Latin rhythms on 1999's Genuine American Monster. After 2005's Pigmata, the project went on hiatus for a decade, returning with fellow KMFDM founder En Esch in the fold on 2016's The Gospel. This kicked off a prolific run of albums that included 2019's Candy, an eclectic collection of covers, and the back-to-basics industrial rock of 2020's Pain Is God and 2024's Red Room.
