PIG, the industrial rock project led by veteran Raymond Watts, released the full-length album “Hurt People Hurt” in 2026 through Metropolis, Armalyte Industries, Pig Industries, and Blue Noise. The ten-track record maintains the project’s signature sound of menacing guitars bridging industrial and metal, enhanced by electronic textures and strong melodic choruses designed for anthemic sing-alongs. Watts, who has reinvented himself across nearly four decades, continues balancing aggression with theatrical sophistication and memorable songwriting, drawing comparisons to KMFDM while maintaining his distinct identity. The album was previewed by singles “Tosca’s Kiss” and “Sex & Suicide.” The current lineup includes Watts, En Esch, Steve White, and Bradley Bills, with Jim Davies contributing as a writing collaborator. Critics praised the record for its consistent quality throughout, awarding it an 8.5 rating.
