Prehistoric Pigs to Release The Fourth Moon Nov. 26
With a post-Kyuss crunch given further breadth through instrumentalism, the family band Prehistoric Pigs are set to issue their fourth album, dubbed The Fourth Moon, through Go Down Records on Nov. 26. The unit based in Northern Italy have worked with the label before, as you can see in the PR wire info below, and the new record brings steady riffs and a sci-fi, end-of-the-world theme because, well, if you think about it that’s pretty much the story of the world we live in.
They were last heard from with 2019’s Dai, which you can stream at the bottom here, and with closer “Meteor 700” and the title-track arriving throughout November as digital singles to precede the album release, there will be plenty of opportunity (not really but let’s pretend) for John Garcia to lock in a last-minute guest appearance. Make it happen, people!
From the label:
PREHISTORIC PIGS – The Fourth Moon
The fourth moon was a host of doomed. Eerie caravan of broken destinies, bone-faced ape men marching towards the end of the cosmos. The stone eye watches over the convoy and draws it towards the abyss. Eight stops before the hammer blow, the triple whistle, the last thunderbolt. Tired rats accompany the horde amidst atavistic screams and dangling limbs. Bent backs dig holes into new continents that don’t exist. The din of the universal flood heralds the coming of the 700 meteors of the apocalypse.
LABEL: Go Down Records
FORMAT: LP | coloured LP | digital
RELEASE DATE: November 26th 2021
Prehistoric Pigs are a family business. Two brothers and a cousin found a brand new band on the ashes of a previous group, in Mortegliano (Northeast Italy) in 2012. The instrumental combo features Juri on guitar, Jacopo on bass and Mattia, the cousin, on drums. The same year they release their debut album Wormhole Generator for Moonlight Records. Once on tour, the band stops in Dublin where it plays with the Irish label mates Electric Taurus. To seal the friendship between the two bands, a 12” vinyl split album is released in 2014 via Go Down Records. The eight-track sophomore studio album Everything Is Good is released in 2015 by The Smoking Goat Records.
2019 is the year of Dai, Prehistoric Pigs’ third full length, this time completely self-produced. During their ten-year activity, the Prehistoric Pigs play on many stages all over Italy and tour clubs and festivals across Europe, from Serbia to Ireland, from Hungary to Belgium. They perform at Born Wild Festival in Dresden (Germany), Tides Of Youth Festival in Krk (Croatia), Stonerhead Festival in Salzburg (Austria), Stonegg Psychedelic Festival in Bolzano (Italy), Navajo Calling Fest in Parma (Italy) and Pietra Sonica in Udine, their homeland. The fourth album marks the return to rough and raw stoner rock, it’s called The Fourth Moon and is due out for Go Down Records in late 2021.
