SALEM Issues Drummer Challenge

September 22, 2008

Long-running Israeli extreme metallers SALEM have been hard at work on material for a new album, tentatively due in 2009. One new tune in particular, called "Heartbeat", is described by the band as "a 13-minute long percussive ordeal that our drummer cannot yet play from start to finish in one take." Consequently, "he thought it would be interesting to let you try to nail down a song that has not yet been recorded so drummers worldwide; follow this link, download the drum chart PDF and have a go at this tune."

SALEM released its latest album, "Necessary Evil", in June 2007 via Season of Mist. The follow-up to 2005's "Strings Attached" includes a 27-minute piece entitled "Once Upon a Lifetime Parts I - V".

Video footage of SALEM performing the song "The Fading" at the Barbie club in Tel Aviv on March 28, 2007 can be viewed below.
