Playing God
"Playing God And Other Short Stories" was recorded at Harold Studios in Israel and mastered by UE Nastasi at the prestigious Sterling Sound NYC.
On the explanation of the album artwork for "Playing God And Other Short Stories", SALEM skinsman Nir Nakav states:
“The cover is based around Adinkra, a West African symbol system. The symbol we used is called Gye Nyame and it means "Except for God". This unique and beautiful symbol is ubiquitous in Ghana. It is by far the most popular for use in decoration and also a reflection on the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people."
Israel's premier metal act, Salem, who recently left Season of Mist has signed a record deal
with Pulverised Records from Singapore.
The band released the following statement to the local and international press; "We are thrilled to join the Pulverised team.
The label is very attentive to our needs and puts us as a top priority act. It is something we have been yearning
for for years.
We feel confident that together we can achieve goals that have alluded us in the past few years."
The band's 7th album "Playing God" is scheduled to be released mid 2010 and will include 12 scorching new tracks
from the band, one of which is the head turning cover of Bob Marley's "Exodus".
