There are multiple acts with this name: 1) Salem (sometimes stylized in all caps or as S4LEM) is an American band from Traverse City, Michigan. Considered to be one of the pioneering acts in the witch house genre, Salem's sound contains elements of electronic, chopped and screwed, dark ambient, hip-hop, shoegaze, trap, and crunk. The band was formed in 2006 by Jack Donoghue, John Holland, and Heather Marlatt. They remained active up until 2012; releasing several mixtapes, EPs, singles, and remixes, as well as their debut studio album, King Night in 2010. They briefly returned in 2016 on Wolfgang Tillmans' "Make It Up As You Go Along - Salem Remix", before another 4-year period of inactivity. In May 2020, Salem returned once again with another mixtape, Stay Down, and released their second studio album, Fires in Heaven in October that same year, 10 years after their debut. A few weeks prior to the release of Stay Down, Marlatt posted a photo to her Instagram page, alleging that the other 2 members of the band were "attempting to force her out". She has not been featured on any of Salem's output since 2012. After a long period of inactivity, Salem gradually returned to activity in 2020. In May of that year, the group released the mixtape Stay Down through NTS Radio, marking their first major release in nearly a decade. This was followed by the singles Starfall and Red River, before the release of their second studio album, Fires in Heaven, in October 2020. The album was notably the first Salem release without founding member Heather Marlatt, who publicly claimed she had been pushed out of the group. In 2021, Salem released a remix of Grace by Bladee and Mechatok, continuing their sporadic return to public activity. In November 2022, the group made their first public appearance in over a decade with a surprise DJ set at the opening of Supreme’s Chicago flagship store. In July 2023, Salem performed their first full live show in 12 years at a sold-out event in Coney Island, New York. The group continued performing internationally in the following years, including an appearance at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona in 2025. In 2026, Salem surprise-released the album Red Dragon, a collection of leaked demos, archival recordings, and new material. The release drew attention for seemingly featuring older vocal contributions from Heather Marlatt despite her absence from the group’s official activities since 2012. https://www.discogs.com/artist/1300441-SALEM-6 2) Salem, also known as Church of Salem, is a British goth/punk rock duo, comprised of Creeper frontman Will Gould and his long-time collaborator, Matt Reynolds.
