Lords Of Salem release new music video for “Hell over Salem”

Submitted by newseditor on Thu, 01/17/2019 - 15:13

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.

Lords Of Salem present their official music video for the title song of the EP.

Submitted by newseditor on Tue, 08/21/2018 - 01:03

With an impressive concept that combines the most significant components of US power and thrash metal and songs that focus on lyrics about spooks and horror, Them are one of the most unusual new metal acts.

Their debut album “Sweet Hollow” (2016) already more than hinted at the artistic potential of the six-piece. Their successor release “Manor of the Se7en Gables” sees the group surrounding frontman KK Fossor present an album that takes up thematically where its predecessor left off but goes on to explore the stylistic extremes of this musical genre even further.
