Salt the Wound was an American deathcore band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 2001. The band is signed to Rotten Records and have released three full-length studio albums. After the release of their debut album, Carnal Repercussions the band would continuously tour to an overwhelming extent, which led to their disbandment during the first half of 2010. With later negotiations, the group reformed in 2011 with original as well as new members releasing their next full-length studio album Kill the Crown.
Salt the Wound was founded on September 11, 2001[1][2] as a duo by their original drummer, James Anthony Agrippe, and guitar player Mike Kawkabany. The group continued on as duo until 2003, where additional members joined and assumed the requirements of a full band. Vocalist Kevin Schafer was welcomed during this year, which then shortly led to these three recruiting Abe Zieleniec as the band's bassist and Jake Scott as another guitar player.
The band released two EPs in 2004 and 2005 respectively, but did not record and release their demo that had them searching for a label until 2007, which led to Salt the Wound being signed to Rotten Records. Salt the Wound achieved underground success in 2008 through their debut studio album, Carnal Repercussions which attracted radio airplay as well as touring requests. By 2009, the album collectively sold 75,000 copies worldwide.[citation needed] By mid of 2009, the group finished recording their second full-length album, entitled Ares,[3][4] which was released September 15, 2009 and features Matthew Wessoly, their final vocalist incepted into the band before their disbandment.
On October 30, 2009, Salt the Wound announced that they were "hanging up the towel". They held a farewell tour at the beginning of 2010, holding their final show in the states in their hometown of Cleveland.
Salt the Wound announced in November, 2010 that they have officially reformed (with original vocalist Kevin Schaefer, original guitar player Jake Scott, and The Analyst drummer Brandon Tabor). The band released their third full-length album entitled Kill the Crown in March 2011, which was produced by Brian White.[7] Their next studio album was supposedly confirmed to have been in the works as stated by guitarist Scott, although its status has been unknown since 2014. Their social media pages have been inactive since 2015 as well, thus leading to the presumption of their second disbandment.
