Providence-based rock and roll band Salem Wolves has released the brand new, massive concept album, entitled The Psychotron Speaks. The new record unearths the story of Danny Morton Jr., a down-on-his luck ‘80s-era SWA pro wrestler named The Stranger, who rises to glory after tapping into a mysterious power delivered from an unknowable and unthinkable eldritch device capable of bending the world around it and creating distortion, both aural and psychological.
The Psychotron Speaks was produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane) and is being released via Tor Johnson Records.
Band member Gray Bouchard stated the following:
“This record emerged first from the Psychotron. Eagle-eared listeners will note that references to the Psychotron – and other eldritch devices – have popped up for years in Salem Wolves songs, though rarely in the foreground. For me, the Psychotron has been humming in my head for over a decade; this unknowable force of distortion and noise, neither malicious nor benevolent. Going into this cycle of writing and recording music, I thought the time was right to lean into its power and influence – as the Stranger did.”
The Psychotron Speaks has been released on a deluxe cassette edition and comes with wrestling trading cards, fan zines, and more! Stream the new album below and grab your copy today!
