"Filth Pig" is the sixth studio album by industrial metal band Ministry, released in 1996 through Warner Bros. Records. The title was allegedly derived from a statement made in the British Houses of Parliament, where bandleader Jourgensen was described as a "filthy pig" by one of the MPs. Despite being Ministry's highest charting album in the US, it was negatively received by both fans and reviewers, sharply divided the band's fanbase, and was a commercial failure. The industrial-tinged sound, prevalent on the groups previous albums, was heavily scaled back here, retreating further into a heavy metal sound.
