Salos - Greek Post-Metal Duo Share Entire New Album "A Slaughter For The Empire"!

Greek instrumental post-metal duo SALOS are now streaming their debut album A Slaughter For The Empire in full via Everything Is Noise, ahead of its official release this Friday, March 13.

The Kalamata-based two-piece deliver a powerful seven-track journey that balances cinematic post-rock expansiveness with crushing progressive heaviness. Commenting on the record, Everything Is Noise wrote:  “The two-piece instrumental metal outfit from Kalamata, Greece have crafted a powerful debut in theme and execution, shifting the balance between cinematic and progressive passages on its seven-track journey. The equilibrium is found within the contrasting nature of the band and music alike, displaying emphatic moments of post-rock amongst the darker, hulking riffs that unravel throughout each song.”

Forged in atmosphere and restraint, A Slaughter for the Empire unfolds as a complete ritual: 34 minutes moving through stone, sea, stars, and collapse. Drawing on the expansive tension of God Is an Astronaut, the monolithic precision of Russian Circles, and the darker currents of progressive metal, SALOS craft music that breathes as much through silence as it does through impact.

Recorded at Eightyard Studios by Chris Vlachos, and mixed and mastered by Steve Lado, the record moves between earth-shaking heaviness and expansive sonic horizons. Synths are performed by Nikos Mavromatis (Nick Thurl of October Ends), while “Arches” features saxophone contributions from acclaimed Greek jazz musician Yiannis Kassetas, adding an unexpected human fragility to the record’s monumental scope.

First conceived in 2016 and taking full shape in Kalamata, Greece in 2021, SALOS evolved from a singular vision into a fully realized practice. What began as an idea matured into a deliberate convergence of progressive metal architecture and post-rock atmosphere, forged in the liminal space between transcendent drift and crushing gravity.

SALOS emerge from the Aegean deep as an instrumental force, two voices, no words, only tide.

Pre-orders are now available here.
