This six-song d-beat demo from New Jersey trends metal, yet not obnoxiously so. Samples and lyrics pay homage to Italian post-nuke films, a pinpointed cinematic subgenre that fits in nicely with the band’s image. The cassettes are professionally dubbed and nicely packaged, with excellent cover art. Fans of Midnight and other metal played by punks acts from the recent past will go crazy for Road Pig. –Art Ettinger (Self-released, roadpig.bandcamp.com)
