Many bands consciously try to push the limits of their chosen genre and that can be off-putting; in contrast Pigs x7 show an awareness of the broad parameters of metal, and are all the better for it

Pigsx7 are certainly an antidote for something, if only the rest of the world could work out to what, I’m sure we would be in a far better place

The Skinny
They’ve gone from mammoth, side-long pseudo-jams to relatively bite-sized chunks without sacrificing any of the fury they’ve harboured from the beginning

The Line Of Best Fit
