Filth Pig is the sixth studio album by the American industrial metal band Ministry, released on March 9, 1996. The album marked a significant departure from the band's earlier work, embracing a slower, heavier, and more groovy sound. It features a blend of industrial rock and metal, incorporating elements of blues and a more laid-back approach compared to the frenetic energy of previous albums. 'Filth Pig' is often noted for its darker themes and the prominent use of guitar, showcasing frontman Al Jourgensen's evolving musical style. Though it received mixed reviews upon release, it has since gained a cult following, with tracks like 'NWO' and 'Reload' being highlighted for their impactful lyrics and heavy instrumentation.
