Metal Truck
Road Kill
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
With song titles like "Nobody Loves You When You're Burning In Hell", "Busload 'O' Sin", and "Big Bible", you know you're dealing with Jesus fanatics! Oh yeah! With some good ole foot-stompin' blues metal to accompany them, Metal Truck delivers their in-your-face message with tons 'o' fun. The tape cover is funny as well: it depicts a diesel truck running down a demon in the street, about to squish it. The guitarist, Lorenzo, was once a roadie for secular bands, until he got saved at a Stryper performance. "I wouldn't really say they ministered to me," recollects Lorenzo, "but I felt it was the Lord when that Bible hit me in the face." Fans of REZ, Stevie & The Saints, and Darrell Mansfield should really dig this most excellent tape. Sonically it punches as loud as the music demands. For ordering info, write: James Smith, 4707 N.
