Righteous Pigs Deluxe

(MMP) For as long as anyone can remember, Las Vegas – known also as 'Sin City' - has always been a home to various lounge artists, cabarets and musical shows. Not much room was left for other genres, especially those from the extreme bunch. Nevertheless, four brave men decided to form their band nowhere else but in the middle of Nevada, among casinos and cat-houses. In 1987 Righteous Pigs invaded Vegas with their filthy mixture of punk rock, grindcore, thrash and death metal, once for all proving that 'Sin City' does not necessarily stand for 'lounge town'…

Metal Mind Productions presents the double re-release of Righteous Pigs' two offerings - "Live and Learn" (1998) and "Stress Related" (1990). The band's debut material "Live and Learn" was launched in 1989 and instantly won acclaim on the local metal scene. However, the material was often referred to as badly produced, unpolished, unbalanced and plainly unprofessional. But in fact these were the band's biggest advantages! The raw and sloppy production only increased the amount of aggression on the album, making it a true display of straight-forward brutality. Followed by often hilarious and misogynistic lyrics (and delightful titles such as "Hidden Zit", "Celibate Tease" and "I Hope You Die In A Hotel Fire"), all of the sixteen tracks found on "Live and Learn" had a charming, immature and spontaneous feel to them. Even though the material lasted only 20 minutes, it had enough energy and substance to become a true embodiment of extreme music.

Righteous Pigs returned in 1990 with their second full-length offering – "Stress Related". This time the band decided to make their songs longer and a bit more complex. To achieve this they added a lot of metal to their structure, which resulted in some of the best guitar riffs ever heard in this type of music. The rest remained untouched – the band continued to deliver a fine mixture of speed and aggression, with smoother musicianship and more mature lyrics. The production was still a bit flawed – mainly because of too much high end in the mix and an ultra-loud snare sound – but again it was just a brilliant addition to their style!

This exclusive re-issue, which includes both of the group's albums on one CD, brings back a true legend of extreme music, with almost an hour of crushing punk rock, grindcore and death metal. If you're a fan of brutal, violent music, look no further – annihilation has arrived! New digipak edition, limited to numerated 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc. The release date is scheduled for 18th August 2008 in Europe and 30th September 2008 in USA (via MVD).
