Northern Californian deathcore juggernauts SALTWOUND have released their eagerly-awaited, debut full-length album, The Temptation Of Pain, out now with SharpTone Records. A colossal beast, seething with furious brutality that roars to life with the most ferocious riffs metalcore fans will hear this year, The Temptation Of Pain, rears its head with intense chaos, fusing elements from deathcore and metalcore on tracks like Walking The Blade, Hollow and Severance.
SALTWOUND reveals a new video for their vicious track Empty From The Start.
Commenting on the track, vocalist Spencer Timmons says: “The entertainment business isn’t a meritocracy. The most talented people are rarely the most successful. It’s usually vice versa. So many big deals just require viral overnight success and no talent whatsoever. If you start from emptiness, you’ll continue to be empty though.”
Adding about the album he says: “To me, ‘Temptation’ is more like attraction. As a culture and a society, we’re attracted to things that hurt us and cause us pain. Negativity gets more ‘clicks’. These aren’t positive things that uplift our lives, but we gravitate to them. It applies to my personal life. Being in a band is hard, so why don’t I put my effort into going back to school and getting a safe nine-to-five job? It’s because I’m attracted to what causes me stress. The same goes for relationships. So, every song touches on an element of being drawn to what causes hurt and pain.”
