Pigs of the Roman Empire is an album by Melvins and Lustmord, which was released in 2004 through Ipecac Recordings. There are two untitled songs on track 9.

Speaking to Kerrang! in 2008, King Buzzo remembered: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

I'd always liked what Lustmord did and I thought that doing a record with him would be a really good thing to do. A far as it being a collaboration, there are things on that record that are strictly 'us' and strictly 'him' but we never said which was which because we didn't want people to have any preconceived ideas. For example, [with the title track] we gave him 11 minutes of music and he came back with 22, which was exactly what we wanted him to do. But some parts are just me and Dale nearing the end of our tether with Kevin [Rutmanis] and there are things that critics blamed Lustmord for when he's not even on the track! If I had to say 'buy these 5 records', then this would be one of them.[2]
