F.O.A.D. Records proudly announces the reissue of “Off the Pigs”, the final studio statement from California powerviolence legends PLUTOCRACY.

Watch the trailer below.

Formed in 1988 in Redwood City, PLUTOCRACY remain one of the most singular and uncompromising forces ever to emerge from the West Coast underground. Their sound has always defied rigid categorization: a volatile collision of multi-layered vocals, jagged and angular riffing, neck-snapping tempo shifts, rap-inflected passages, and bursts of noise, all welded together by a relentless, top-tier grinding powerviolence backbone. Few bands have ever captured such a raw and confrontational energy while maintaining a sense of chaotic precision.

Originally recorded in 2010, “Off the Pigs” stands as the band’s last studio effort: a fierce and unfiltered document of street-level realism, anti-authoritarian conviction, and a deeply rooted unrest mentality. Upon its initial release, the record saw only a scarce and highly limited pressing, quickly becoming a sought-after item among collectors and longtime devotees of the genre. Over the years, its reputation has only grown, cementing its place as a vital chapter in PLUTOCRACY’s legacy.

Now, F.O.A.D. Records brings this landmark release back into circulation, giving a new generation of listeners the chance to experience one of powerviolence’s most distinctive and boundary-pushing statements. Standing in the same lineage as cult names like Spazz, Crom, Agents Of Satan, and No Le$$, PLUTOCRACY remain a band that cannot be neatly boxed in—singular in vision, sound, and attitude.

This reissue of “Off the Pigs” is accompanied by a very limited edition t-shirt and is strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide: 200 on classic black vinyl and 100 on blood red vinyl. Once again, this is a release aimed squarely at those who value the raw, the confrontational, and the uncompromising spirit of the underground.
