Calculated chaos at its finest.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are back with their latest album, Death Hilarious, filled with a sound that strips away pomp and circumstance and doesn’t care about being polished or overly structured. Their latest record is undeniably gritty and chaotic, infusing heavy riffs with lyrics that refuse to cater to societal norms while pushing boundaries. Pigs x7 seamlessly blends noise rock and heavy metal, offering fans something raw, loud, frenetic, and impossible to tune out.

From its opening track, Death Hilarious is relentless, with a fast, dirty sound that’s as intentional as it is candid. Each track windmills its way into the next, throwing anything clean by the wayside and focusing on power, energy, and unabashed disdain for the conventional. From drums with wrecking-ball energy to high-octane guitars, this album leaves no room for wasted sound. There are elements of rage and permanence that Pigs x7 can achieve with minimal effort.

This album’s humor isn’t for kicks — it’s intentional, with their balancing brutal riffs with thought-provoking, refractory lyrics engineered to entertain, but only after hidden truths are conveyed. The entire album perfectly blends power and seriousness, offering fans a multifaceted listening experience.

Death Hilarious leans more toward the flippant, but this doesn’t mean the band’s talent isn’t on full display. Despite its chaos, the music is tight and controlled; each instrument works in perfect tandem, resulting in an unpredictable yet satisfying sound.

Meanwhile, the entire album assaults the senses and then some, but certain tracks showcase the band’s ability to toggle between sounds, such as “The Wyrm seamlessly.” Relentless guitar riffs prepare the listener for antagonistic vocals that will poke and prod until the lyrics are wholly understood. “Stitches offers a wonderfully distorted sound that’s heavy but equally catchy, with tracks like “Coyote Call” continuing to push the band’s vigorous energy forward.

At its core, Death Hilarious is the type of album that leaves listeners demanding more, albeit with a sore neck and raw vocal cords. The reminder is that Pigs x7 want fans to feel something — anything — at the behest of their music, and they’re not afraid to blend music with in-your-face aggression to invoke these reactions in wide throngs of listeners.
