I know certain labels will never let me down when it comes to releasing music that keeps my finger on the repeat button. YOUTH ATTACK is one of those fucking labels, and their new SALVATION EP House Of The Beating Hell is another killer with no filler release. The record clocks in at just over 9 1/2 minutes, and keeps my full attention every second. So what do these four awesome jams sound like? Imagine if The Cramps saw the world through the eye of Venom, but spoke with the tongue of Screamin Jay Hawkins possessed by the Ghost of Sothira from Crucifix – that’s sort of what you might hear on the vocal tip. I guess what I’m trying to say is that SALVATION’s singer knows how to channel some altered states of darkness with his vocal delivery. As a band, they also compose amazing songs that seem like they were written by zombies and recorded in cemeteries under a full moon. SALVATION’s tunes fucking drip with this cryptic rancid emotion that draws you into their desolate caverns of empathy. This band a master at weaving necro-melody into their compositions that expands the depth of what they create musically. Production-wise, their sound is lo-fi and dirty, but still sounds huge in it’s own way. You can hear all sorts of influences, but because this band has such extreme levels of originality, they never come off as contrived. The one thing that stands out to me is the fact is that SALVATION knows how to inject their manifestations with the spirit of 80’s hardcore without sounding retro. When you listen to House Of The Beating Hell, their sonic conviction and audio passion are evident throughout. SALVATION’s songs emanate darkness 100%, but there is something about what they do that shines a bright light on the nightmares of humanity. When you hear the feedback, the drums and the slow moving, serial killer riff of the title song “House Of The Beating Hell,” it will all make sense – SALVATION is almighty freaking awesome! Check out a couple of their tunes below, and make sure to purchase their EP HERE.
