Black Moth release new music video for ‘Pig Man’

BLACK MOTH have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track Pig Man, is taken from the band’s latest record Anatomical Venus which was released earlier this year.

The new music video was directed by Ged Murphy/Rob Hoey and filmed by Louis Caulfield and comes as the band prepare for their UK tour with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, ORANGE GOBLIN and FIREBALL MINISTRY later this year.

Speaking about the track, vocalist Harriet Hyde says, “in my endless fascination with human sexuality, I came across a brilliant book called Perv by Jesse Bering which celebrates how we’re all sexual deviants in our own unique and colourful ways. In reading it, however, one particular story stood out for its horror and absurdity. Most people know of the atrocities committed towards women in 17th century New England in the Salem Witch Hunts. Deranged rumours circulated that they cut off men’s penises, bewitched them and kept them as pets! To this day, women are ‘slut-shamed’ and outcast for possessing their own innate power and sexuality. A lesser known story is that of the Pig Man hunts that obsessed the congregations of New Haven. The poor dears in their infinite repression managed to convince themselves that certain men were secretly in league with the Devil to impregnate barnyard animals. The offspring would be Satan’s children walking the earth, wreaking destruction in their orderly Christian society. It seems the arrival of a deformed pig foetus was enough to incriminate the farmhand for ‘buggery’ and lead to his brutal execution. In a sick, paranoid society, no-one is safe.”
