Saltpig – Saltpig
Self-released – 2023
Rock, Punk, Stoner, Proto, Blues
Rated: ***

The mysterious Saltpig duo hails from the USA and released their debut full-sized and self-titled album at the very end of October. And those first five tracks on the album will surely strike a chord in the hearts of every heavy rock loving fiend. Especially those that like their heavy rock dirty, soiled, messy and touched by something evil and ominous. But even if there is something wicked floating about these first five tunes, they also have something groovy and often even catchy. A paradox that sits perfectly with Saltpig. Indeed. Filthy metal wallowing in a muddy stoner rock sound, proto touched, bluesy and highly fuzzed! But it has a mighty fine groove as well and a pearly speck of doom. And then there’s that final almost twenty minute long freak out track 1950. Noisy, like a wrecking crew tearing through your neighborhood. Wowzah! Yes sir, these filthy, salty pigs came here to show the squares some class, give ‘em a whiff of those kicks they'll never know…
