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 witch house, Salem draw influence from chopped and screwed hip hop, shoegaze, trap, crunk, UK bass and trance, as well as drug culture, especially with methamphetamine users. The band was formed in 2006 by Jack Donoghue and John Holland, with Heather Marlatt joining in 2007. 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 for Wolfgang Tillmans' "Make It Up As You Go Along - Salem Remix", before another four year period of inactivity. After a long period of inactivity, Salem gradually returned to activity in 2020. Marlatt was removed from the group under circumstances that have drawn ire, with her criticizing Donoghue on social media. 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. 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 unreleased songs and demos. The release drew attention for seemingly featuring older vocal contributions from Heather Marlatt despite her absence from the group’s official activities since 2012, meaning she was still not being compensated. 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.
