  Pigface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pigface is an industrial rock supergroup formed in 1990 by Martin Atkins and Bill Rieflin.
Pigface was formed from Ministry's The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste tour, from which the In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up live album came.
Pigface was born with the intention of keeping a revolving-door style collaboration with many experimentally-minded musicians, many of whom, especially early on, had recorded for the influential industrial music record label Wax Trax.

The everyone-in-the-pool talent roster he encountered in that last endeavor became the template for Pigface, a floating industrial crap game to which the adopted Chicagoan has devoted himself (and the resources of his Invisible Records label) in the '90s.
Regularly drawing on some of the same co-conspirators but featuring an ever-widening cast of guests, each Pigface release is a recombination lab super-session of intriguing possibilities, voluminous contractual permissions and godawful caterwauling racket.
Pigface's first proper effort is an excellent synthesis of ideas and influences; the collaborative songwriting and shifting permutations of players produce everything from harsh industrial charges ("Alles Ist Mine," "Seven Words") and bone-crushing heaviness ("Auto Hag") to sound collages ("Insemination") and dramatic cello-burnished rock restraint ("Ten Ground and Down").
