Providence rockers Salem Wolves, will release their new album The Psychotron Speaks both digitally and on cassette via Tor Johnson Records, this week on Friday, July 19th! The band is planning a rock-and-wrestling release show to follow in August. Stream and pre-order the album here at Ghost Cult today. 

Produced and mastered by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane), The Psychotron Speaks is more than just a concept record. Led by anthemic May single “So Desperate” and last month’s thunderous growl of “November,” the album chronicles the fever dream rise and fall of Danny Morton Jr., a down-on-his luck ‘80s-era pro wrestler who would re-emerge as The Stranger in the long-gone Southland Wrestling Association (SWA). With a career on the brink of irrelevance, The Stranger taps into a mysterious power delivered from the Psychotron, an unknowable and unthinkable eldritch device capable of bending the world around it and creating distortion, both aural and psychological.

Gray Bouchard: Vocals and Guitar
Justin Tisdale: Bass
Sam Valliere: Guitar
Steven Shepherd: Drums
