British sleaze warlords SALUTE going to battle next to Berlin’s OCCVLTA is no surprise as both bands could have easily come the same womb. Both are power-trios, both have their feet planted firmly in the 80’s sound where it didn’t mattered if you were punk or metal, just as long as you had the right attitude, both are offering two tracks of bulldozing sonic carnage and both ravaged the Live Evil festival stage, curated by Fenriz himself. So you know what to do sinner: wear denim and leather, throw some Devil Horns, worship Satan and crank it up all the way to 11!

Salute’s Talkin’ Trouble – New Radio Podcast from Swine and Kaptain

SALUTE‘s Swine & Kaptain have posted the first episode of Talkin’ Trouble a new podcast series!

First edition includes an interview with Tangorodrim and a classy playlist of Bathory, Motorhead, Occvlta…

Okk nowwwww…

It was a frosty night in the bunker as we cracked open cans and talked trouble with the Tangorodrim boys Incinerator and Darveter via skype. A special band that has been on Salute’s radar for some time and held in maximum esteem.. PRAISE! Forgive any ass kissing but this band are the real deal, no bullshit, thrashing mad pumping fist jaw grinding fury…arrghgh….. Arghgh! So envious of their riffs and grind we had to record a tribute to these crazed maniacs in the form of ‘The Fucking Priest’…

We talked for some hours about their formation, their environment both past and present and how they became to arrive at their current point. They have just celebrated their 15th year (jubileeeHEY) with a new 7″ (see pics, oughh) and seem to be as enthused as ever about their craft. It was killer to hear some of their war stories, origins of the FUCKING CONVEEYORR.. meatlocker riffs, 5 oclock spliffs, and their pen chance for ABSOLUT(E) OUgghgH!
Lets meet for those beers brothers..!! IRON RULE NUMBER ONE!

This show contains part 1 of the interview, the rest of the show Swine and I play a selection of old and new cuts, and talk trouble !! This is the first of many shows, by all means have words, comment, recommend bands, add fuel to the flames.. open some cold ones and roll!…CREEEE..PPING AND SEAR…CHING FOR VIC….TIMS UN…KNOW….ING..OOUUSSEARGHGHH!!

…oh yea and if the quality of the sound in the interview is like they were on Sputnik, that’s how we intended it !!…roll the tape

Salute – Calcutta’s Bones

Over the course of what will be, when released, three albums Salute have shed and enveloped several influences. All heading steadily, spiriling downwards. Especially if Calcutta’s Bones is representative of the future LP!
The song is intensely bleak, the guitars are heavy atonal bass heavy monsters and drums play tom-heavy. This is crust punk (Amebix) inspired doom. A complete shedding of Above the Law groove, at least in spirit…replaced by barbaric grind!

BODIES COLD

Live Free! Salute Headline London Gig with Hateful Abandon DJ Set

Salute will headline a Free gig – February 13th at the Old Blue Last (Shoreditch, London). Live support comes from Old Mayor (doom metal).
In addition to live performances there will be several deejay sets including one, of exquisite taste (see podcasts for proof), from Hateful Abandon.

I need as many HA fans a possible at this, otherwise I’m going to get bottled off when Bowie, Joy Div. and Swans get played.
See you there.

Fenriz / Darkthrone – Band of the Week – SALUTE
and as i before have said about this band – if you don’t like SALUTE you probably have a truckload of extra chromosomes. and if that sounds positive, you’re out taking a long walk on a short pier, my friend.
