MOUNT SALEM: "We are very excited to be coming overseas for our first time. Traveling is a hobby for all of us so we're thrilled to be able to see new countries, meet new people, and of course, play some music."

Nachdem die Musiker von MOUNT SALEM im Sommer 2012 begonnen hatten, erste Stücke zu komponieren, veröffentlichten sie im darauffolgenden Frühling "Endless". Die Band legt viel Wert auf den richtigen Sound und das entsprechende Feeling, sowohl im Studio als auch live, weshalb die Mitglieder gleich zu Beginn eigens neue Instrumente anschafften, und das Ergebnis klingt nun viel natürlicher, als sie es sich je erträumt hätten.

Beeinflusst von Black Sabbath und Pentagram spielen sie lauten, harten Rock n' Roll mit Vintage-Equipment, verleihen der Musik aber einen eigenen finsteren, geheimnisvollen Dreh, um den Hörer in ihre düstere Welt zu ziehen. Die Bildersprache ihrer Texte beschert nimmt mit auf eine Reise, in deren Zug man nicht weiß, ob man sich fürchten oder zu einem Schwert greifen soll, um sich mit ins Schlachtgetümmel zu schlagen. "Endless klingt wie das alptraumhafte Hirngespinst eines Weissagers auf einem üblen Drogentrip." - Mister Growl von MisterGrowl.com

Endless ist im Februar über Metal Blade Records wiederveröffentlicht worden und enthält zwei ganz neue Tracks, die nicht auf der Original-EP enthalten waren, welche die Band 2012 in Eigenregie veröffentlichte. Fans können die Scheibe auf Vinyl, CD oder digital bestellen und sich die erste Single 'Lucid' HERE anhören.

"Das Debüt Endless ist ein absolut monolithisches Album, das die bleischwer dröhnenden Riffs des jungen Tony Iommi mit Emilys glockenklarer Stimme und epischen Orgel-Parts im Stil von Jon Lord verbindet. Sicher, das ist Retro, klingt aber viel zu aufregend, um es als schnöden Revisionismus abzutun." Metal Hammer UK

"Inspiriert von den Riffs von Black Sabbath und dem Schmiss von Pentagram weben Chicagos Mount Salem einen blendenden, Groove-orientierten Psych-Teppich, der den Fuzz und Donner des Seventies-Metal mit dem Melodiegefühl zeitgenössischer Bands verbindet." Outburn Magazine

"Es ist eine Freude, dieses Ding von Anfang bis Ende zu hören … Klassischer Doom mit einer beeindruckenden Frauenstimme, ein Anwärter für zukünftige Weltklasse" PlanetMosh.com

Comments MOUNT SALEM: "We are very excited to be coming overseas for our first time. Traveling is a hobby for all of us so we're thrilled to be able to see new countries, meet new people, and of course, play some music."

MOUNT SALEM started writing music together in the summer of 2012 and released their first EP, "Endless", in the spring of 2013. The band puts a strong emphasis on tone and feeling in both their songs and live performances alike. Most of the band switched from their normal instruments and picked up new ones for this band and the result was much more natural than they had hoped for.

Taking influence from the classics like Black Sabbath and Pentagram, they play loud, heavy rock and roll using all vintage gear. Throwing their own twist of dark and mysterious doom into the music, they invite the listener to step into their sinister realm. The imagery in the lyrics will take you on a ride in which you won't know whether to be scared or grab a sword and join the battle. "Endless feels like it's trapped in the nightmarish head-space of a psychic medium on a bad trip" -MisterGrowl.com.

"Endless" has been re-issued by Metal Blade Records last February and includes two brand-new tracks not featured on the original EP that was self-released by the band in 2012. Fans can stream the first single, 'Lucid', as well as ordering the album on CD, vinyl, or digitally HERE.

"Debut album Endless is an absolute monolith of a record that combines the sludgy, droning guitars of Iommi's finest vintage with Emily's shimmering vocals and epic Jon Lord-style organ rushes. It's retro, yes, but it also sounds too exciting to be dismissed as simply revisionism." Metal Hammer UK

"Drawing from the riffage of Black Sabbath and the swagger of Pentagram, Chicago's Mount Salem has created a blinding, groove oriented psychedelic tapestry that infuses the fuzz and growl of 70s metal with the melodic attack of a contemporary act." Outburn Magazine

"a joy to listen to from start to finish…Classic Doom, with a stunning female vocal. A class act in the making." PlanetMosh.com

SATAN'S SATYRS: Merging the riffing, the tone, the fuzz, and the cult-horror worship of the ultra-doom underground with lo-fi production and fuck-you attitude - Album out in September

From Herndon, Virginia, something wicked this way comes. Raised on riffs and cult VHS flicks, SATAN'S SATYRS combine the super-fuzz garage sensibilities of Detroit in ’65 and the heaviness of contemporary Doom, and through a series of ultra-limited singles and EPs have become one of the most talked up underground bands of recent years and now; following limited pressings on vinyl LP, Cassette & Compact Disc, their 2012 debut album 'Wild Beyond Belief!', a ripping deluge of blasphemous scuzz-rock workouts, will see it's first commercial UK / European release via the Bad Omen Records label this autumn.

First formed in 2009, during a summer spent immersed in horror movies, weed, sixties Rolling Stones, Black Flag, Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath and the first High Tide LP, the band has shifted from being a duo comprising bassist, vocalist & drummer Clayton "Claytanas" Burgess and a mysterious guitar player known only as The Ghoul, down to a one man unit solely comprising Clayton himself (who sang, played all the instruments and even handled the recording on 'Wild Beyond Belief') then back up to it's current power-trio status which is completed by drummer Stephen Fairchild and Jarrett Nettnin on guitar.   It was this deadly three piece which took to the road in the US this summer, sharing the stage with everyone from Los Angeles’ own scumdogs The Mentors to Cleveland, Ohio's filthiest export Midnight, as well as making the trip across the Atlantic to deliver two sets at the annual Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, where they were personally invited by Electric Wizard to play their Electric Acid Orgy and stuck around for a couple of days more to wow the assembled faithful once more with a full set of Blue Cheer covers.



Satan’s Satyrs are currently, switching between song crafting for their second full length LP and bouts of touring the US where they are honing their live show for the inevitable return to the European stage.

Merging the riffing, the tone, the fuzz, and the cult-horror worship of the ultra-doom underground with the unbridled energy, lo-fi production, and fuck-you attitude of garage punk seems like such a natural fit that it’s impossible to believe that Satan’s Satyrs are the first band to accomplish it, but on 'Wild Beyond Belief!' the band have pulled it off almost flawlessly and deliver a refreshing blast of youthful energy in the staid wasteland of modern heavy metal. This latest pressing has been fully mastered from the source files to qtr inch tape by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Cathedral, Hexvessel, The Gates of Slumber etc...) for maximum warmth, volume and thickness of sound and will be released on September 23rd 2013.

LOST BREED: "The Evil in You and Me" and "Save Yourself" albums of proto Doom rockers available for preorder

Back in the 80’s it was fairly common for bands to move to LA to try and make it big. Lost Breed is among the many bands that made that trip from NY to LA. They soon met up with the legendary Scott “Wino” Weinrich, whom at the time had already had 2 Saint Vitus records under his belt, was soon to be releasing a 3rd Saint Vitus record, and was also in the process of restarting The Obsessed back up again. Even with all of those irons in the fire, he started writing and jamming with Lost Breed. With his main roots and influence coming from the Maryland Doom Metal scene, it’s no surprise that Lost Breed fits right in there stylistically. With that said, Wino did lay a nice foundation for the band to build and grow from. Wino only appears on their first Demo and doesn’t appear on either album since at some point he probably realized he had too much going on and 2 bands to focus on were enough. With all of the music out there, it’s going to be a big surprise for people who haven’t heard this band yet. They have extremely unusual songwriting skills that not only make you scratch your head, but also bang your head at the same time. Once the music of Lost Breed settles in, it’s quite the listening experience and after a while you might think to yourself how does something that sounds so complex and disjointed work together so well? So, what does this sound like? We’re still trying to figure this out. In short, it just does, but if you’re looking for a reference point, then start with The Obsessed and some old Soundgarden and play both records at the same time. “The Evil in You and Me” is arguably the first “Doom Rock” album to ever exist. Some might call it “Stoner Rock” (we wouldn’t agree), but whatever it is, it’s pretty groundbreaking.



"The Evil in You and Me" Tracklist:
1. Rescind the Horde
2. King of Electric
3. Another Victim
4. Coffin Cheater
5. The Postman
6. Soul Chariot
7. Lost Breed
8. The Evil in You and Me
9. Nation's Song
10. Say You Love Satan
11. Storm Comes Down

“Save Yourself” picks right up where “The Evil in You and Me” ends. This album is a little more straightforward in the songwriting department, but it still has that quirky charm about it. It’s probably a little more doomy and with that a little more accessible than “The Evil in You and Me”. Both “Save Yourself” and “The Evil in You and Me” are essential and you definitely need both if you like this style of music. These guys might have had a short-lived career, but we probably got the cream of the crop out of them before they called it quits. They were a band that came out at the wrong time when the world wasn’t ready for them. It’s a shame because if they were more well known, they would probably influence a ton of bands. The one thing that’s great about Lost Breed is that this stuff never gets stale. You discover something new with each listen and after years of hearing them, the well of new sounds never runs dry.


“Save Yourself” Tracklist:
1. Circles
2. B.A.C. (What You Fear)
3. The Gears
4. Going Strong
5. 472 C.I. of Death
6. Lease on Life
7. Chop
8. Dragon of Chaos
9. You Don't Need to Live
10. Tonga Slut
11. Simulator
12. Up the Hill
