Shoreditch Church | Shoreditch High St, E1 6JN

Hindered by one of the most poorly phrased sub-genres of all time (Witch House), Salem certainly know how to play it slow. In today’s fast paced blogging world—one that has adopted them as the flag bearers for said genre—it’s taken a mammoth four years for the Michigan-based trio to get around to releasing their much hyped debut King Night. Worth the wait? Absolutely. But whether they keep the insane amount of tension and paranoia that haunts their recorded output in a live setting is in the hands of the gods. Handy then, that Shoreditch Church is the chosen venue for their London debut performance. Can we expect a live crucifixion of a sacred blogger, hand-picked from the audience? Possibly not. Will it be the first time a song called ‘Skull Crush’ will be performed inside a place of worship? Absolutely. See you down the front then.
