Think of the craziest things you've ever seen at a show and multiply it by 10... and that is still not as insane as the antics frontman Matt "The Lord" Zane and Society 1 were commonly known for. Their level of pushing the envelope earned this crew notoriety for taking risks and taking their art as far as humanly possible.
Now, in a new documentary being released exclusively by Thunderflix.com on February 14th, the film, "Everyone Dies" takes a look back documenting the madness that was Society 1, including the record breaking performance where Zane was suspended by four meat hooks at the Download Festival while he performed with the band.

UK-based band Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs announced their fifth studio album Death Hilarious will be released on April 4 via Missing Piece Records in North America and Rocket Recordings (rest of world). Along with the announcement, the band released the new single "Stitches" along with a bizarre and grotesque animated video directed by Ben Faircloth which depicts the band being mutated and mutilated by hideous hybrid fauna from across multiple dimensions of nightmares.
About the new single, frontman Matt Baty explains, "I'm aware our band sits in a world largely commandeered by bravado, confidence and machoism, but 'Stitches' is an expression of vulnerability, paradoxical emotions and those so familiar pangs of anxiety I wrestle with while butting heads with societal expectations and personal struggles."
