Schwein

Last updated

Schwein (German for pig as well as pork) is a music group comprising members of Buck-Tick, KMFDM, and Pig. Members Raymond Watts (PIG; vocals, programming, guitar) and Hisashi Imai (Buck-Tick; guitar and noise), both having worked together in Schaft, were joined by Atsushi Sakurai (Buck-Tick; vocals), Sascha Konietzko (KMFDM; vocals and programming) and Lucia Cifarelli (KMFDM; vocals). [1] [2] In 2001 Schwein released an album, Schweinstein, which peaked at number 18 on Oricon's album chart, [3] followed by the remix album Son of Schweinstein. [4] Schwein toured Japan in the summer of 2001. However, Konietzko did not tour with them, citing illness and a desire to focus on KMFDM. [5] In a extensive 2023 interview for Visual Music Japan (VMJ) with Mandah Frénot [6] , Raymond Watts talked about the project and cited Schwein as his favorite collaboration to date and called Sakurai a "grand vocalist".
