The culmination of creation and cremation, an apotheosis of desperation, nihilism and desire, the only place I could go was to the poison well and drink deeply. I was locked inside both the studio and myself. The barricades were up in my fortress of solitude with only&nbsp;<\/em>[guitarist]&nbsp;<em>Steve White and a large box of drugs for company. \u2018Sinsation\u2019 was the sound of the last card turning and burning. The only way out was through. I had to give birth to the noise inside my head and record it. A fiendishly simple and yet simply fiendish task. A place in which I was so uncomfortable that success would be to fail, as to fail had been my only success.\u201d<\/em><br><br>&nbsp;Recorded and mixed by PIG and&nbsp;Helen Woodward (Pale Saints, Dodgy, Kitchens of Distinction, Alien Sex Fiend, Ultra Vivid Scene), \u2018Sinsation\u2019 featured contributions by notable artists such as&nbsp;Karl Hyde (Underworld),&nbsp;Jimmy Cauty (The KLF)&nbsp;and White (KMFDM), as well as&nbsp;Carol Anne Reynolds&nbsp;(Sow)&nbsp;and Japanese artists&nbsp;Imai Hisashi&nbsp;(Buck Tick)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Hoppy Kamiyama.<br><br><em>\u201c\u2018Sinsation&#8217; wasn\u2019t anything about the ascent of man, it was the descent of ham,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Watts continues.&nbsp;<em>\u201cAs surely as everything passes, so did the spotlight on sin, as the long thin shadow that scratched the words from deep within and conducted the chaos would soon cast its darkness on a new vision. PIG would crawl to a different master in me and hang from a new noose.\u201d<\/em><br><br>&nbsp;In regard to the newly mastered version, he adds:&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>&#8220;I was surprised and saddened to re-visit \u2018Sinsation\u2019. Surprised by the energy and invention and saddened to hear the pain. But, I was strangely glad to have visited hell, and blessed that I didn\u2019t stay.\u201d<\/em><br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/ecp.yusercontent.com\/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd19cgyi5s8w5eh.cloudfront.net%2Fusr%2F0a6a899a3086fb4b3850d81715b05964%2Fimg%2F06a6d27269ba62ddbd2a471bbfb33b859fc929c1&amp;t=1724457822&amp;ymreqid=ae27eb65-cffb-e22c-1c42-8a009c012a00&amp;sig=R_4_krLcP_bGqTYb7c_JmQ--~D\"><br><strong>PIG<\/strong>&nbsp;| autumn 2024 North American tour itinerary<br><br>Watts has enjoyed a stellar career since starting out as a pioneering member of the mid-1980s industrial rock scene.
