'''Martin Atkins''' (born August 3, 1959) is a British-born session drummer and musician known for his work in the industrial music scene. He formed [[Pigface]] sometime around 1990 while touring with [[Ministry]]. Pigface would have an ever-changing line-up over the years, receiving criticism for a perceived lack of continuity. Atkins is the only person who has been involved with the project from day one. In recent years, he has taught a course on the business end of concert touring at Columbia College in Chicago and Millikin University in Decatur, IL.
Pigface toured in 1991 with [[Trent Reznor]] providing guest vocalsat a handful of dates. The Pigface song "[[Suck]]" was co-written with Reznor and later recorded by [[Nine Inch Nails]] for the ''[[Broken|Broken EP]]''. Atkins can be seen in the "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" music video and played drums on the song "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]."
Atkins was originally considered for NIN's drummer on the [[Lollapalooza Tour]]:
