Gallows record pig being slaughtered

Gallows have spoken about how the recorded the sound of a pig being slaughtered while making new album 'Grey Britain'.

In and interview with website NME.com the band explained that they didn't want to use any fake samples on the album - so set about recording everything properly. "The samples on the album are real," bassist Stu Gili-Ross said. "There's the sound of the River Thames when we went down to the riverbank and recorded the sound of the water. There's a lot of stuff on there. "We went into a Halal slaughterhouse where a pig was getting slaughtered for food. I wouldn't say it was a pig getting murdered, that's a bit strong. It was going to die anyway so we just turned up with a microphone and captured the sounds."

After the band fell about laughing at Gili-Ross's comment, frontman Frank Carter explained the situation in more clarity. "It's on there. It's definitely on there, with its dying breath. But it's special," he said.
