    Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, usually shortened to Pigs x7, are a British stoner metal band formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2012. Their debut album, Feed the Rats, was released on UK label Rocket Recordings in 2017.[1] The Guardian listed the band as one of their "top 40 newcomers" for 2018,[2] and in 2018 their second album King of Cowards was released, described by The Quietus as an "epic and sprawling record".[3] They practice and record in guitarist Sam Grant's Studio "Blank Studios".[4]

    In April 2020, the band released their third album, Viscerals. In May 2020, The Guardian listed the album as one of the twenty best albums released so far that year in their mid-year list.[5] An LP of live tracks, Off Cuts, was released in November 2020 exclusively through Rough Trade's record shops.

    Musical style[edit]

    The band's music has been associated with psych rock[6][7] and heavy metal, as well as related genres doom metal and noise rock. Earlier releases tended toward longer, drawn out tracks[8] while the more recent releases are predominantly shorter works.[9]
