The only way Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs could get any heavier than they do on their fifth album ‘Death Hilarious’ would be if they borrowed Spinal Tap’s amps and cranked them all the way to 11. “We wanted it to be a slap in the face,” says guitarist and producer Sam Grant. Well, they nailed it.

A little under three years ago, Employed to Serve pulled up at the Forest National Arena in Belgium for the first stop of a tour across Europe opening for Gojira. Looming above them was the biggest non-festival venue they’d ever played, with 8,000 fans soon baying for their metalcore anthems.

Though it remains a divisive record,  Deafheaven’s ‘Infinite Granite’ might be remembered in time as a worthwhile experiment. The blackgaze pioneers sanded down their spiky edges into something softer and fuzzier – less ‘black’, more ‘gaze’ – and came the closest they’ve ever come to sounding genuinely soothing. But if it would be wrong to call ‘Lonely People With Power’ a return to form it is a restating of purpose: here they are back to sounding lethal yet beautiful and, crucially, heavy.
