Pigface – Welcome To Mexico...Asshole

Pigface – Welcome To Mexico...Asshole

Welcome To Mexico...Asshole is a ferocious release from industrial supergroup Pigface, the collaborative project founded by Martin Atkins that became a meeting point for some of the most influential musicians in the industrial and alternative underground. Originally released in the early 1990s, the album captures Pigface's chaotic combination of industrial rock, punk, electronic noise, metal, and experimental performance.

Unlike a conventional band, Pigface operated as a constantly changing collective, with musicians and vocalists from across the industrial and alternative scenes contributing to different recordings and live performances. This deliberately unpredictable approach gave the group a raw, confrontational sound that could shift from pounding industrial rhythms to abrasive guitars, electronics, noise, and more experimental passages.

The album opens with the epic "Love Serenade (I Hate You?)", an almost twelve-minute piece that immediately establishes the record's uncompromising character. "Blood And Sand" and "Peaking Too Early (William)" provide shorter, more aggressive bursts of industrial energy, while "Little Sisters" adds another layer of abrasive alternative rock.

Side two features "Twice Removed," "Beneath My Feet," and "Point Blank," with the latter two tracks demonstrating Pigface's ability to combine heavy guitar work with pounding industrial rhythms. The third side moves through "Stowaway," "Suck," "Weightless," and "T.F.W.O.", creating one of the album's most intense sequences.

The final side delivers "Lash Herb TaxI," "Tapeworm," and "The Breakfast Conspiracy," bringing the record to a suitably chaotic conclusion. Throughout, Welcome To Mexico...Asshole embraces the confrontational, experimental spirit that made Pigface such an important part of the industrial underground.

Perfect for fans of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, Killing Joke, and Einstürzende Neubauten, this is a compelling addition to any industrial, alternative, or experimental vinyl collection.
