Salted Wounds Releases Their Lost 1999 EP “Dead Alive” to Bandcamp

New York City’s Death Metal/Hardcore group Salted Wounds (Laceration, Sun Descends, Red Heart Field, 6 Hours, Grunt BX) has released its long out-of-print 1999 EP Dead Alive on Bandcamp! A release on other streaming platforms is imminent. Originally released on limited-run cassettes and CDs, they brought together a sound that is quintessentially New York: NYHC, Thrash, and Death Metal and the self-described genre “Ghetto Metal.” The band made their name gigging incessantly around the tri-state area while getting coveted opening slots for Hatebreed, Dying Fetus, Skinlab, and Biohazard among others. The band was famously named by Metallica frontman James Hetfield in 1995. Salted Wounds also provides the theme music for Ghost Cult’s interviews. Jam out to the Dead Alive EP today!

Bio:

Formed by three friends in 1996 and having had their name bestowed upon them by none other than James Hetfield of Metallica, Salted Wounds came from humble beginnings (high school). They went on to become one of the best and most respected bands in the Tri-State area in the mid to late 1990s. Combining a variety of styles such as thrash metal, New York Hardcore, punk rock, and death metal, the band opened for such national acts as Hatebreed, Dying Fetus, Skinlab, and Biohazard. Playing the local club circuit they headlined such venues as CBGB’s, Coney Island High, The Chance, Castle Heights, The Voo-Doo Lounge, and too many others to name. Their EP Dead Alive (1999, Self-Released) was the talk of the underground and had them in high demand. This led to break-out singles on historic compilations such as East Coast Underground and Redefine the Rockstar Volume 2.
