Righteous Pigs
Stress Related
1989
Righteous Pigs are best known as the former band of Mitch Harris, who has been the guitarist for Napalm Death since 1990. This is unfortunate as they should be recognized as a band in their own right, with the likes of Pantera's Phil Anselmo citing them as an influence. Unlike the likes of Napalm and Terrorizer, the Pigs were not really grindcore being more extreme hardcore. Listening to them is definitely recommended if your feeling a little well...stressed.
This is their second album and has a better sound than their first one. Its just better made and written overall. It has decent production which helps, The guitars are heavy and the riffs impressive. The best way to describe the tone would be angry and cynical.
The best thing about this band though is the lyrics. Vocalist Joe Caper delivers them well with a tone in his voice that sounds genuine. They generally deal with negative aspects of life such as drug addiction and general things in life to be pissed off about.
Check it out.
