LP version. Splatter color vinyl. With
Saltpig
's debut album,
Mitch Davis
takes a dark journey into occult themes and horrific storylines dancing around melodic yet dissonant layers of noisy guitars, overdriven bass and floating drums. The album forgoes the expected fuzz sounds for a palette of tones that largely disregards genre in order for Saltpig to build songs that are simply evil and completely human. It's fully embracing a love of distortion and feedback in all forms while pushing tape to its breaking point. The band plays with different tempos and tunings as a way mostly to keep things interesting for themselves, creating what feels akin to a greatest hits album where the songs take on different personalities but feel completely like Saltpig songs at the same time. They find influences from early
Judas Priest
,
Mercyful Fate
, and
Black Sabbath
at a time when metal was still finding its way. Rewind to an era before metal began its evolution towards greater precision, bigger drums and more robust production, then imagine that evolution taking a different turn. Mitch tries to put himself in that place where metal might be today if things had gone that different direction. It's neither nostalgic for the way music used to be, nor is it trying follow any trends of today. It's really more of a "make the music we want to hear" than a purposeful innovation. While familiar, it doesn't quite fit neatly into an existing metal sub-genre. The idea was always "don't try to be like other bands, but don't be different just for the sake of being different." The result is an album that means a lot of different things to different people. But to Saltpig, they are just making music. Also available on CD (HPS 307CD), Black Vinyl (HPS 307LP), and Blue Vinyl (HPS 307LTD-LP).
