From stages like Milwaukee Metalfest to national tours and everything in between, Indiana metal outfit Salem’s Childe has spent their career defining and redefining themselves and their sound.

With influences from multiple styles of metal and other genres of music, Salem’s Childe offers a hard-hitting and violently energetic mix of melody and aggression. And while their influences are resonant in the band’s music, Salem’s Childe has been described as having a genre-defying sound that stands on its own. Their music has been described as a storm of thrash, groove, prog, and modern hard rock that finds itself as equally at home in the mainstream as it does the underground.

In 2020, under the guidance of Tim King the band released their debut album, "The Sin That Saves You," in an artist partnership deal through the storied Pavement Entertainment in October 2020 and followed that up the next spring with a cover of Sponge's iconic radio anthem "Plowed."

In the spring of 2022, Salem’s Childe stormed their way across the US in support of Misfits legend Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein and his band DOYLE before getting to work that fall on starting the follow up to “The Sin That Saves You.” The band took a break from writing and demoing music for the next record to hit the road again in May of 2023, being invited by DOYLE to repeat their direct support role for a select run of dates.

In early 2024, the band finished their second record, the aptly titled, “Unbound”. Featuring eight original tracks, the new music represents growth from where the band left off with “The Sin That Saves You,” demonstrating a dedication towards continual improvement in both songwriting and performance. From the fast-paced tension of opener “Closer to the Bone” through the raw aggression of “The Reaping” (featuring guest vocals by Joe Rodriguez of PISSING RAZORS) to the anthemic songs “Rise & Conquer” and “Through Fire”, and closing with the band’s beefed up and energetic take on The Cult’s classic “She Sells Sanctuary”, the record takes the listener on a lyrical and melodic journey that maintains the band’s aggressive accessibility while pushing boundaries and inviting engagement, and see Salem’s Childe continuing to redefine themselves and their music.
