LORDS OF SALEM: Announce New EP "Hell Over Salem."
January 3, 2019
When an equally rough and pally end-time bunch brushes ‚DEAD POP SEX ACTION' as a musical style on its skull-embroidered Rock'n'Roll flag, it's time for a collective uproar!
And if those passionate tattoo maniacs in their ratty rags also look as seriously determined as the LORDS OF SALEM - freaking f***ing yes, then of course, you've got to pump it up a whole lot louder!
In the middle of the tasteless, barren no-man's-land of the diluted mainstream, the charismatic four-piece strikes in the scene. LORDS OF SALEM let a massively invigorating overdose of the spark spraying 80s HARD ROCK flare up out of the amplifiers with the EP "Hell Over Salem".
TRACKS:
01. Monster Girl 03:09
02. Hell Over Salem 04:06
03. Zombie Monkey Woman 03:44
04. Rock n Roll Machine 03:58
total: 14:59 min.
"Hell Over Salem" was officially published on October 31. 2018.
Electrifying songs come to life with a beguiling dark-occult touch. Lascivious, tongue-in-cheek songs that could not possibly be firmer, juicier and more compelling.

As a marketing strategy, fraudulent cunning fashion rockers, pseudo-rebellious leatherjacket-weekend-wearers, unspeakable trend-clowns and other little softener-boys are tearing holes in their new jeans, like to call that kind of appearance and music-making 'vintage' and thus are queuing up rather pettily into an artificial genre zeitgeist.
However with the four incurably decibel-addicted LORDS OF SALEM, it's just pure genuineness, deepest conviction and ultimately haunting reality!
LINE-UP:
Postel (Vocals)
Häriän (Guitar)
Marple (Bass)
Alex (Drums)
The timeless LA sound of the conspired heap around exceptional singer Postel dances ominously rapt, but deliciously frisky on a damn stable foundation that rivets the enormously powerful formation of guitar riffs that drive straight into the bones, hellishly hot with greedy pumping power drumming.
A dash of Danzig, a thick dose of Kiss, a poisonous injection of Mötley Crüe and a thick splash of Lordi refines the efficient formula.
The interesting band cross references are one thing, the other is the profound individuality of the crisp, yet also atmospheric material of LORDS OF SALEM!

MEDIA FEEDBACK • "Hell Over Salem" • EP 2018:
7 / 10
"! immediately animates to raise your fists ... decent horror vibes underline the dark side of power ... every single song is a very entertaining affair, with neat ass-kick components and lively rhythms."
(Rock Castle Franken)
3,5 / 5
"! a fresh, timeless style of this music ... the listener of classical orientations is basically called upon to listen to the material here ... decent, Brainstorm-oriented Power Metal inlays, with noticeable Hard Rock of the American style, allow a good entertainment ... shows the troupe willingly that they know how to put up with their own energy-eruptions ... the modern advanced Heavy / Power Metaller can discover a lot for himself!"
(Metal Underground.at)
"! spread a sharp edge ... bombastic and gloomy disc ... Metal and Gothic fans can access here without hesitation!"
(BlattTurbo)
"The band, in which Pussybats bassist Marple Martin is a member, is something of the endtime edition of a Rock'n'Roll formation. However, that does not mean that the gentlemen sound as if they run out of steam soon. On the contrary. The tank is well filled and 'Zombie Monkey Woman' is a number that could also run in the car radio of Mad Max: dry, a bit crazy and full on the twelve."
(Sonic Seducer)
"! that pops! The four songs have impressed me really heavy! Wow, Rob Zombie personally would let LORDS OF SALEM fly in as support with a shoulder bump!"
(Flyflew Radio)
"! it brought to mind other musicians, such as Wednesday 13 for one, and The Misfits for another ! their combination of Rock n' Roll, being just that, but their energy screams Horror Punk Rock as well ! so much angst, energy, and aggression, it never fades away but remains constant at all times even."
(Nataliez World)
"! vocalist Postel, a powerful and highly-expressive front-man that is easily the biggest selling point of this up-and-coming group ! Goth-laden/Horror Rock-infused Hard & Heavy Rock/Metal ! catchy material ! filled with great hooks, inspired-samples, and colorful lyrics ! a short and sweet EP, this release should find a huge fan base !"
(Heavy Metal Time Machine)
"! slamming down the point with switchblade guitars ! an original concept and fun songs, a shining yet dark production, and relentless Rock 'n' Roll make these Lords ready for Metalheads and Rockers everywhere."
(Vile Views)
"! a proper portion of end-time mood a lá Mad Max ... something else and really worth listening to!"
(Breakout)
