SALEM UK - Signs with Rude Awakening Records

Rude Awakening Records is excited to announce their latest signing: SALEM UK, a band featuring veteran musicians from the English hard rock and heavy metal scene. Originally active during the days of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), Salem first made their mark with three demos before disbanding. Now, decades later, Salem UK is back, with original members Adrian Jenkinson and Simon Saxby joined by new members Jonny Hirons and Dan Ellis. Together, they are ready to deliver a powerful Hard n' Heavy full-length album by the end of 2024.

The band made their comeback with the album "Win, Lose or Draw" in 2019, and five years later, they’ve written a brand new concept album, details of which will be revealed soon. This release marks an exciting milestone for Rude Awakening Records, as SALEM UK becomes the first classic band to join their roster.

Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming album!
