Pigsty - Living Dead Stars

The Czech band Pigsty (not the Mexican one of the same name) has something to say. They claim on their website that humans were created by The univers pigs’ arrival on Earth and subsequent mating with monkey to create the humans we now eat with (sometimes just actually eat) and walk around with every day. Living Dead Stars is the 4th or 5th CD by Pigsty and represents one of the few moments in human history where the truth of our human existence, according to their information, has been spread to the rest of us ignorant souls. Thank you Pigsty for being magnanimous in your prophetic work.

To move on to the sounds themselves. The CD Living Dead Stars exhibits talented musicians playing tightly riffed tracks along side a growler and a screamer. The vocals are sometimes hardcoresque but are broken up by the growls of a grind band. The track “Women Domination” is a perfect example of this because the band opens with a well choreographed wall of metal sound, full and simple, and then is punctuated by yelling vocals chipped away at by the growls. The title track then carries this on with as much energy as the previous track. “Manhunt” breaks up the ritual a bit with its strange almost-electro opening beats and “The Message” closes the CD with some of the same stuff but with a subtle element that reminds me of Decapitated underneath it. I recommend checking out this band and giving some attention to their label’s other bands as well.
