San Francisco's heaviest quartet return with their sophomore album, The 12 Gauge Solution. Often praised for their original and uneasily characterized sound, BLESSING THE HOGS forge a style of heavy music all their own. Punishing vo-kills, rapid-fire drums and dropped tuned fucking mayhem - all the key ingredients that Blessing The Hogs are known for - show up in spades this time around. Featuring Billy Anderson (studio wizard who has worked with the likes of MELVINS, MR. BUNGLE, BRUTAL TRUTH, HIGH ON FIRE, FANTOMAS, KISS IT GOODBYE, NEUROSIS, EYEHATEGOD, UNSANE, SICK OF IT ALL, and many more) among their lineup, BLESSING THE HOGS show no sign of relenting on their musical quest. Recorded by Billy at Take Root Studios, San Francisco and Oakland's Sharkbite Studios and mixed at Trax East by Eric Rachel, The 12 Gauge Solution features eleven new songs. Also included are two covers (Quickand's 'Fazer' and the Melvins' Hog Leg) featuring guest lead vocals by Sean Ingram of Coalesce that must be heard to be believed.
