A Call to Prey

ALBUM Release Date - 4/29/2014

“Haunting tunes, resin-coated riffs and grooves that will expand the lungs so far you'll cough and get off. I'm getting the feeling this shit might even be soul- stealing.”
The Sludgelord

“It's like a Hammer House Of Horror psychotic death trip through the mind of Aleister Crowley. Dark, groovy and to the uninitiated fantastically creepy.” Ride With The Devil


Sweden’s band of blood drunkards Salem Pot return this April to consecrate their union with the LA based label EasyRider Records with a follow up to last year’s Watch Me Kill You.

Following in the footsteps of astral concept albums of the 1970s, over three tracks of sprawling heavy psychedelia ...lurar ut dig på prärien offers the listener little chance of escape. Summoning the writhing sounds of demon fuzz and distant death knells the opening swell of ‘Creep Purple’, a 14 minute purge of lo-fi garage metal riffs and lysergic comedown finds Salem’s Pot setting out their stall from which to peddle the darkest of doom.

Loose, low slung and inspired by the legends of Sabbath and the extended jams of Hawkwind ‘Dr Death’ and the pounding ‘Nothing Hell’ complete the unholy trinity of tracks replete with lyrics that propel the listener into worlds unknown. Atmospheric realms populated with weed and witches in a reality as miserable and malevolent as it mind-bending and majestic.

Salem’s Pot:
Mentor Mike - Organ, Cult Leader Nateonomicon - Guitar, Accordion, Howls Pre-historic Pete - Bass, Howls
The Eagle - Drums, Percussion, Shruti-box

Original Face

"Lousiana's Forming the Void is one of stoner metal's best-kept secrets. Last year's Relic was a potent blend of sludge, stoner and prog, accentuated by phenomenal songwriting and damn-near radio-friendly tunes that put most radio rock to shame." - Aaron (Metal Injection) www.metalinjection.net/av/full-album-stream/forming-the-void-channel-the-classics-on-new-album-rift 

"Forming The Void are set to crush all-comers with this follow-up to their much-lauded third album Relic. Immense, imperious and armed with megaton riffs, Rift is an admirable sequel to the genre expansions of Relic and a major step forward in terms of production. There's nothing quite as odd as their sludgy cover of Kashmir this time round, but in Extinction Event, Ark Debris and glacial 10-minute closer Shrine and the rest they've created an album that ranges from shamanic atmospherics to vast, tectonic bruisers, all the while twisting the archetypal 
stoner sound to their own nefarious ends."-Essi Berelian (Classic Rock Magazine) 

"Rift is a different album to Relic. It may have similar sounds and ideas. However Rift takes you on a more personal and spiritual journey. The production on Rift is simply first rate. With the album sounding fresh and super heavy from the start.Relic made me a fan of Forming The Void's music. However Rift has made Forming The Void become one of my favourite bands. Rift will be considered as one of the best albums of the year. Simply unmissable." - Steve Howe (Outlaws of the Sun)

"Mountain-like riffs are propelled by the rhythm section – unstoppable bastards with searing solos that get the neck muscles working overtime. Cleanish vocals drenched in reverb float to the front of everything which ties in nicely with the psychedelic passages that weave in and out of the sonic prayers being offered here." -Tony Maim (Stoner HiVe)

"You like riffs? You like soaring melody? You like a bit of space-talk with your riffs and melody? You like albums with a mammoth flying out of a volcano on the cover? Then you’ve come to the right place: step right up and witness Rift."- Matt Butler (Echoes and Dust) www.echoesanddust.com/2018/08/forming-the-void-rift/ 

"I’m sorry, but any record that starts with a song called “Extinction Event” is telegraphing its heaviness. And sure enough, Rift is the most weighted offering yet in the relatively brief but prolific tenure of Louisiana four-piece Forming the Void." - JJ Koczan (The Obelisk) theobelisk.net/obelisk/2018/07/27/forming-the-void-rift-review-premiere/ 

"Turns out that there’s room for a little bit more worship of The Good Riff after all. Of course, by “a little bit more,” I really mean “packed full” of The Good Riff, as Rift takes no shortcuts in terms of hooking the listener with them." -Grymm (Angry Metal Guy) www.angrymetalguy.com/forming-the-void-rift-review/

Belzebong - Witch Rider (Sonic Scapes & Weedy Grooves)

Formed in 2013 in Lafayette, Louisiana, Forming The Void have not only become one of the city’s most talked about heavy rock bands, they are now widely considered to be a dominant and rising force in the genre. A sound that summons the towering hard rock riffs and the progressive influence of bands like Mastodon, Baroness and Torche.  less
