Industrial provocateur Raymond Watts returns with a razor-edged new single that dives headfirst into desire, destruction, and transformation.

NEW SINGLE OUT NOW — APRIL 10, 2026 VIA Metropolis Records

PIG is back—and as unapologetic as ever. The new single, “Sex & Suicide,” arrives as a visceral preview of the upcoming album “Hurt People Hurt,” set for release on May 22, 2026.

A HIGH-WIRE ACT OF DESIRE AND DESTRUCTION ⚡

Helmed by industrial glam architect Raymond Watts and longtime collaborator Jim Davies (ex-The Prodigy / Pitchshifter), “Sex & Suicide” is a track that doesn’t just flirt with extremes—it lives there.

Watts describes the song as:

“A song of pain, pleasure, obsession and possession, written for the departed, the broken-hearted and the newly started… a walk on the high-wire blade of want for something so bad you beg for release.”

That tension pulses through every layer of the track—equal parts seductive and suffocating, pushing listeners into the depths of craving and consequence.

VISUAL DECAY — THE LYRIC VIDEO 🎥

The single is accompanied by a striking lyric video directed by Grete Stitch Laus, amplifying the track’s themes of vulnerability and volatility through stark, stylized visuals.

THE ALBUM: “HURT PEOPLE HURT” 🩸

Set to drop May 22, “Hurt People Hurt” marks the next chapter in PIG’s long, twisted lineage. Across 10 tracks, the album promises a full-spectrum descent into the psyche—where ecstasy and anguish collide in a decadent, industrial soundscape.

Tracklist:

1. Tosca’s Kiss
2. Monkey See Monkey Do
3. Sex & Suicide
4. Hurt People Hurt
5. Scars
6. Quid Pro Quo
7. Ruins
8. DNA
9. Imposter
10. The Reaper’s Lament

Following the operatic intensity of “Tosca’s Kiss,” this second single sharpens the blade even further, carving out a space where misfits, reprobates, and the beautifully broken can lose—and rediscover—themselves.

LEGACY OF A SCENE ARCHITECT 🏭

Raymond Watts’ influence stretches across decades of industrial evolution. Beyond PIG’s fourteen-album catalog, his collaborations with Einstürzende Neubauten, Foetus, and Psychic TV helped define the genre’s edge.

He also played a foundational role in KMFDM, contributing to some of the band’s most iconic work during the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Outside of music, Watts has left his mark on global fashion and art, contributing to exhibitions like Punk: Chaos to Couture and collaborating with visionary designer Alexander McQueen on “Plato’s Atlantis”—later reimagined as “Savage Beauty.”
