Concept

Static explained the album's concept:

"The Pighammer concept conjures up bizarre images. It's about a mad plastic surgeon, with a pig fetish, that likes to convert hot chicks into pigs. It is the total opposite of what a plastic surgeon would do. He has this crazy hammer device made from a pig foot. The images of the surgery in the CD package are only a dark comedic visualization of the real theme of the album, which is my transformation."[1]

Static's "transformation" was in reference to his decision to stop his drug use as of 2009.[2] Static wrote the album as a tribute to his new drug-free life, in hopes of inspiring others to get clean as well.[3]

gollark: If you remove a lot it would cool down and become a red dwarf.
gollark: Similarly to biological life stars run on internal feedback loops; if fusion produces less heat the radiation pressure keeping the outer layers up is reduced so the core contracts and more stuff can fuse.
gollark: Oxygen CAN fuse in stars, it just requires higher pressure and temperatures.
gollark: Although possibly the outer layers would be cast off and be larger and (OH NO) red.
