Death Piggy

Richmond, Virginia

Death Piggy was an American hardcore band formed in 1982 in Richmond Virginia. In what was meant to be a one-time performance at the legendary 9:30 Club in Washington DC, Death Piggy opened for themselves as a heavy metal band wearing barbarian costumes created by artist Hunter Jackson. Singer/bassist Dave Brockie would eventually use that performance as the basis for the heavy metal band GWAR.
