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]
