Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have returned with the second taste of their forthcoming album King Of Cowards.
Above you can watch a video for the bone-shudderingly heavy ‘Shockmaster’, which sees the band playing the track live at Newcastle’s Blank Studios.
It follows the album’s lead single ‘Cake Of Light’ which appeared last month. The band’s second LP is released via Rocket Recordings on September 28.
Says guitarist and producer Sam Grant of the new video: "We went into Blank with the idea of doing something we’d been playing live, and something which represents maybe the heavier side of the album. So we did a live version of ‘Shockmaster’. It’s a good counterpoint to the type of track ‘Cake of Light’ is – it’s a much more weighty, darker track.
"A big thing was that it felt important to do it in one take, both with the audio and the filming, and to make it an honest live performance. The two cameras side by side gives the ‘one take’ idea more vivacity and gives the viewer more visual freedom, which we hope helps to keep it engaging. It also lets some interplay between each of our parts pop out a bit too, which is cool."
"It’s a real fun track to play live, it’s got an inertia that you can just ride throughout; a big mass of sound that rolls on and on, and the video hopefully does that some justice."
