Country: USA

SALVATION is a jewel for fans of traditional Hardcore. Not only because the bassplayer and backing vocals is Gary Meskil from the legendary PRO-PAIN, nor because some musicians are from bands STRUGGLE or BURN THE KINGDOM but because SALVATION revived the tradition and showed how traditional Hardcore should sound in today’s era, where you can say – we are sunken by flood of hybrids resulting from Hardcore, e.g. various Metalcore or Postcore bands. Of course, I don’t belittle new subgenres, which they also deserve recognition. However, thanks to such bands as SALVATION we will not forget what is pure Hardcore.

The album “Ressurect The Tradition” is heavy, irrepressible and very feisty and it contains a huge dose of energy. The stylish structure of the arrangements make the music although is not complicated but it carries a lot of rebellious emotions. The heavy, dynamic and aggressive licks are connected with the screaming vocals and the strong backing vocals. The whole is framed in the specific melody with lively rhythm. The compositions create catchy songs, that they propel to moving.

SALVATION brings together musicians of different generations, who despite their age difference were able to get along and create the strong album. So SALVATION shows how important is the respect for the roots of the music.
