Since the release of their first album in 2015, SALVATION has hammered the masses with a pummeling brew of infectious racket blending the enduring traits of noise rock with a touch of more accessible grunge approach, stacked with hooks and even more amplification, resulting in blown-out glory, spiraling downward like a party on the last night on Earth. Moments of their songs invoke Nirvana's sweet, melodic annihilation, others verge on the unhinged twang of Lollipop or Cows. Drummer Brian Wnukowski (Big'n) hammers the skins like he’s avenging an unforeseen crime while bassist Victor Riley fleshes out the thundering low-end, and guitarist/vocalist Jason Sipe holds court with a formidable voice – a mix of power and pain, confidence and vulnerability, he commands attention with every holler and howl.

Their first three albums Royal Fucks (2015), Sore Loser (2017), and Year Of The Fly (2019) were released through Forge Again Records, after which SALVATION joined with the long-running Reptilian Records for the 2022 release of their fourth album, Mock. Decibel Magazine once wrote, “The space afforded by the band’s relative compactness allows the bass to build while a key noise element, feedback, stretches. The resultant workout runs through exercises that touch on trio peers past and present: Whores, Unsane, the Melvins and Nirvana. Hell, a slightly more metallic edge would turn it into a full-on metalcore banger. It’s a full flex of the musical muscles of mayhem…” Of Mock, No Echo proclaimed, "The group's classic Sub Pop meets AmRep noise rock has built up into a lean and mean beast of an operation,” and Idioteq stated, “SALVATION have pulled off one of the great albums in the genre this year, a masterpiece of dark, raucous, noise rock…”

The Haunted leans full-on into these attributes, delivering another expectedly slamming dose of grimy yet easily digestible rocking dirge. Throughout the album’s ten tracks, the band fuses bits of bluesey Americana, punk, and alternative into their driving noise rock delivery.
