Death Hilarious/Red Vinyl

Description

The fifth album from the riff masters of Newcastle, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, is an explosion of calculated aggression and biting self-deprecation. With Death Hilarious, the band abandons the sonic immersion of Land Of Sleeper (2023) for a more brutal approach. "We wanted it to be a slap in the face," explains guitarist and producer Sam Grant.
The album holds surprises, notably Glib Tongued, where El-P (Run The Jewels) delivers a furious verse over a track with unexpected hip-hop energy. But no nu-metal turn: Death Hilarious oscillates between Sabbathian doom, minimalist noise rock, and cyclical post-metal. Always in search of novelty, Pigs replaces guitar solos with synth flights and inserts piano layers into the chaos.
From Stitches, a glam-influenced Motörhead, to Blockage, a cosmic thrash at 100 miles an hour, the album overflows with power. Death Hilarious is already establishing itself as one of the best rock albums of 2025… and this is no joke!
