Psychopigs : New Album
Trailer for the upcoming Psychopigs album, due to be released soon.
Hardcore/metal/punk band from Ireland bringing new air to the style. Energetic mix of every kind of riff based music.
Psychopigs’s history starts in September 2008, when Tom and ShamRock were left alone by their former guitarist. They decided to keep playing together and started a hunt for new musicians. Eventually two guitarists: Jan and Piotr joined them. Their biggest problem – a singer – was still unresolved. ShamRock recollected his long lasting mate Laurent who showed up at the audition for a singer for their former band. Laurent said “yes” and then they where all happy together. With Laurent band played two gigs in Galway and started working on their first demo.
Unfortunately differences between the singer and the rest of the band appeared and in May 2009, Laurent left the band. Further existence of the band appeared blurry. To keep the band playing, ShamRock decided to take the singers and lyricists position.
All songs got new lyrics and vocals and in those new versions you can find the at bands first CD which is 100% D.I.Y. work. All artwork was designed by Jan and the music was recorded, mixed and mastered by ShamRock. They describe their music as “a weird and highly energetic mix of almost every kind riff-based genre you’ve ever heard, smoothly combining punk, hardcore, metal, rock and funk creating new and fresh musical values.”
Psychopigs have previously shared the stage with Anti-Nowhere League (UK), Acid Drinkers (Poland) and Kranium (Sweden).

Napalm Death, “Leper Colony” (official album track).
Taken from their 14th studio album “Utilitarian” on Century Media, available Feb 27 (EU) or Feb 28 (USA), 2012.
Cover artwork is by the Danish artist Frode Sylthe, who was also responsible for The Haunted`s “Revolver” artwork.
On the band´s web site, singer Mark “Barney” Greenway explains about the album title and concept: “After some deliberation, we have decided on “Utilitarian” as the album title. We generally try to avoid generic titles, and this seemed to have a lot of scope to it. I won’t explain the full meaning of Utilitarianism here because it’s an ethical theory, and as ethical theories go, the depth and debate around it is quite heavy at times. It has a certain ‘morality’ aspect to it and that isn’t something that drives me, so I also certainly have issues with it. So, rather than just nail that straight to the mast, of course we wanted to put our own spin on it by suggesting that those (i.e. the utilitarian in us, perhaps) who try to challenge everything, or fight against conventions, well, we go through periods of real self-doubt where we wonder if we’re really making a difference. I suppose the conclusion is that, for the sake of all our freedoms, you should never stop, as even the feeling of resistance is at least a signal to those who would like to entirely control and dominate us – meaning everything from our instinctive behavior to our human entitlement to walk the earth unprovoked. Regarding the album overall, the final creases should be ironed out fairly soon, and immediately after that we thought it would be good to top it off with a few UK dates. We’ve been playing one new song (“Quarantined”) out on a tour of Canada and it’s been well received, so we hope to perhaps throw in another one for now. Either way, we’ll be bouncing off the walls again near you very soon. Cheers all.”
