Pig, led by Raymond Watts, has been consistently delivering throbbing, pulsating, electo-industrial for years. A few weeks ago Pig released a digital EP Diamond Sinners, and they'll follow that up with a full length studio album titled The Gospel on September 9th. The Lord of Lard will also be hitting the road for a tour featuring the touring lineup of Watts and his ex-KMFDM bandmates En Esch and Guenter Schultz, along with Z. Marr and Galen Waling. All of the dates except the Coldwave festival in Chicago will also feature a solo set by En Esch and opener Peter Turns Pirate.
The Gospel is available as a standard (11 track) release, or on double vinyl (adds a bonus track and download card). Pre-order from Amazon or Metropolis Records
