Pigs x7, known for their heavy sludgy metal sound, faced a significant creative challenge during the making of their album "Death Hilarious." Frontman Matt Baty experienced personal turmoil that intensified his self-doubt, impacting his ability to write meaningful lyrics. However, by leaning into this negative headspace, he transformed his struggles into creative fuel. The result is an album rich with themes of jealousy, existential dread, and vulnerability, serving as a counterbalance to the often superficial optimism prevalent in contemporary pop music.
"There were a lot of things going on in my personal life that led me to question myself a lot more, or at least in a much more heavy, self-critical or doubtful way... 'Have you got anything to say? You're not particularly good at this.'"},{
