In 2004, Raymond Watts, under the name Watts, signed to Grand Recording for distribution in the UK, and is seeking a record deal in the US.
His first album under the name Watts is titled Pigmartyr.
In 2005, Watts will release Pigmartyr as Pigmata, including all of Pigmartyr's original tracks (remastered), and will include three bonus tracks mixed by Isaac Glendening of Cesium_137.

Several of his albums were originally released in Japan, where he enjoyed considerably more success than in the United States, but those albums were eventually released in the US.
Casting aside the pseudonym P.I.G., Raymond Watts has chosen to release his albumPigmartyr, scheduled to be released in April 2004, under the name Watts.
P.I.G.'s sound tends to run to the orchestral, with darker, ambient beats than those of KMFDM.

Josh's Review of "Pigmartyr" by Watts(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
And you know what the worst part is? The longer you wait, the bigger your expectations get, until even the best album of an artist's career won't satisfy you.
All this being said, however, Pigmartyr isn't a total loss.
Like I mentioned before, there are some excellent bits to it, and a couple of the tracks rock just as hard as Pig ever did.

Keep in mind, though, that this is only my personal opinion of the record.
Also, be sure to check out the new Photobooth section of her website.
According to both the official website and to several emails that have been sent out, it should be shipping very soon, if not in the next 24 hours or so.
Or was it a case of a known famewhore in the guise of Eden whispering huge promises in his ear about the Watts project?
The Sick City appears to be just a message board now, and even then all the individual band threads were deleted.
Watts had a sweet deal doing the occasional KMFDM song and touring with them...I really think he messed up big time by passing on Sascha's offer to release Pigmartyr under KMFDM records.

Now comes my favorite track on the CD, "Pigmartyr" featuring Necro.
In a way, I was a little dissapointed, but is still worth buying the album for his ill rhymes and beats.
Best songs, the Art of Dying, destined to rep, pigmartyr, and 60:00.

WATTS is the new project from PIG mastermind and long-time KMFDM member, Raymond Watts.
The sound of WATTS is just the type of juggernaut one expects of a new direction from the "Lord of Lard." The debut offering, Pigmartyr, will be released in late Spring, 2004.
A preview of the album is available at The Sick City Web site.

Hyde costar with Goretex for their own Twilight Zone episode on the haunting “60:00,” as machines take over civilization, backed by a melancholy blend of violins and flutes.
Ill Bill appears on “The Virtual Goat,” a frantic selection highlighted by Necro’s relentlessly piercing string arrangement that unfortunately only clocks in at under two minutes, while Necro himself fires off his expected venom on “Pigmartyr.”
In the end, though, its Goretex who makes this release such an intriguing experience.
