Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (Pigs x7) emerged from the Newcastle-upon-Tyne underground scene in 2012, quickly becoming a central fixture of the UK heavy psych and stoner metal revival. Their sound is characterized by a fusion of Sabbath-inspired doom riffs, motorik Krautrock rhythms, and a noise-rock edge that avoids the clichés of the genre.

Guitarist Sam Grant’s Blank Studios serves as their creative hub, allowing for a production style that emphasizes analog warmth and massive low-end saturation. Their career arc shows an evolution from the long-form, 15-minute compositions of 'Feed the Rats' toward the more concise, aggressive structures found on 'Viscerals' and 'Land of Sleeper.' Critically, they are lauded for bridging the gap between the metal underground and broader alternative success, frequently appearing on BBC 6 Music and major festival lineups. They occupy a cultural space that values the visceral, physical experience of loud music, heavily influenced by the likes of Melvins, Monster Magnet, and the repetitive intensity of Neu!.
