An undercard wrestler fighting for his life and legacy. A mysterious entity whispering discord in unearthly tones. Dreams of fire in a house of want and need. This is the immersive musical world Salem Wolves has created on their latest record, The Psychotron Speaks.
The Psychotron Speaks is a 12-song concept record telling the story of a down-on-his-luck pro wrestler receiving unsettling instruction and power from the Psychotron itself; an unknowable and unthinkable force of distortion. Love, power, addiction, and adoration all blend together as he spirals into the Void.
Produced by long-time collaborator Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane), The Psychotron Speaks combines punk fury, post-punk shimmer, and growling garage rock into anthems. Over fuzzed-out guitars and pounding drums, the record is a dream of contrast: moments of echoing beauty exist alongside roaring feedback. Sometimes anthemic, sometimes keening, always emotional and vivid.
The Psychotron Speaks will be released digitally and on a limited-edition cassette in June of 2024 on Tor Johnson Records. In addition to the standard edition of the record, a special edition will be available with a number of bonus extras supplementing the lore of the record, including:
Accompanying the music, listeners are invited to visit thepsychotron.com to get a tantalizing glimpse of the world of the record and immerse themselves in the mythology of the Psychotron.
