Salem are a heavy metal band hailing from Hull, England. They were formed in 1979 following the split of the new wave of British heavy metal band Ethel The Frog. Dissonance Productions are proud to announce the release of the bands 3rd album titled “Attrition.” The album was recorded at Hairy Monster Studios in Hull. Developing from the up-beat theme of “Forgotten Dreams” (2013) and the more reflective mood of “Dark Days” (2016), lead guitarist Paul Macnamara described the third studio as a little “edgier”, but with the same Salem heavy and melodic approach.
Salem shared stages across the world playing gigs and festivals alongside bands such as Tokyo Blade, Demon, Iron Angel, Ram, Diamond Head, Sabbat, Tygers of Pan Tang, plus many more!
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
