Salem Trials Premiere “Left To Bleed” Video, Announce New EP ‘Heavy Is The Head’

Salem Trials have officially announced their new EP Heavy Is The Head, which is scheduled for release on June 12th through Seek And Strike.

To accompany the announcement, the Canadian deathcore group have debuted a new single titled “Left To Bleed” alongside an accompanying music video.

According to the band, the song reflects the EP’s overarching lyrical focus on corruption, class division, and the abuse of power by those in positions of influence.

“The first introduction to our new offering is via the first single/video, ‘Left to Bleed,’ which follows the EP’s general theme of abuse of power.”

The band expanded on the track’s political and social themes, describing a world shaped by manipulation and division driven by those at the top.

“Though it may not be a new concept that the world is led by wealthy class who shape it to suit their interests, this song’s focus mainly on those who live beneath that class. Forced to fight their wars and work until they die so that the rich may continue to hoard power, money and influence, all while using fear tactics, media manipulation and rhetoric to force the less connected to pick a side and turn on each other. When they are done with us, we are all left to bleed.”

The group also shared insight into the creative process behind Heavy Is The Head, explaining that the material represents a major step forward for the band sonically and structurally.

“Our new ‘Heavy Is The Head’ EP feels like we’ve truly dialed in our sound as a band and turned the page. The writing process happened pretty naturally over just a few months. We’re a lot more focused on song structures and vocal dynamics and as a result we’ve written some of our heaviest and most cohesive songs to date.”

“We really feel like we’re hitting our stride with these new songs and they hit harder than anything we’ve done. We really can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on.”

With “Left To Bleed,” Salem Trials are positioning Heavy Is The Head as a heavier and more refined evolution of the band’s sound ahead of its June release.
