Raymond Watts has been part of many musical projects over the years, but he's always gone back to his own band, Pig. After spending some time back in KMFDM, Watt's has returned as Pig with a new album, "Sinsation," on Nothing Records.

"Sinsation," which originally came out in Japan on JVC/Victor, isn't actually Pig's latest release. Watts has already finished recording a new album, "Wrecked." He isn't sure when it will be released and hopes to take it to Belgium to be remixed before it does.

"It's not a massive leap," says Watts about the sound of that album. "You can see that it's sort of spawned from the same mother. It's just a different kind of beast in a way. It's interesting for me to have been able to do this one and then kind of sit back and let the water go under the bridge before deciding whether it's right or wrong.There are certain bits that I'd like to tweak before putting it out."

Fans of Watts' past work will not be disappointed by "Sinsation." Compared to the KMFDM "Nihil" album, it's a bit heavier but still brings a strong melodic element to the mix of sequencers and guitars. Karl Hyde of Underworld is featured on one track.

Pig and KMFDM are not the only bands Watts has been involved with. Another major project has been the Japanese group Shaft. Watts finds that working on various different projects is a good way to "make life a little more interesting."

"Every now and then, you go involved in something where your role is more defined or less defined," he explains. "With the Pig thing, it's pretty much I oversee the whole thing, with the KMFDM and Shaft stuff, it's like here's a song, write some words to it or whatever.' That's how it works. It's just less boring, I get really bored quickly and it's nice to have a different agenda that people set up for you."
