EP Review SALT / NRT MUSIC 03 Apr 2026 Empowered
Throwback banger! SALT is a throwback. Clear lyrics, tight instrumentals, and excellent production...With songs "1995 (Reprise)", "Throat Punch the Devil", "Go Forth, People of God", and "The One", this EP is packed full of great, original (no AI or auto tune here), and powerful tracks! It mostly has a stadium rock vibe in my opinion...
I really like Go Forth and The One, but my favorite song by far is "Throat Punch the Devil"! I love the old school metal sound on this one! It takes us back to the early days of Christian rock (think early Stryper). It is a strong anthem and very empowering (no pun intended). I especially love the guitar riffs! Overall, this EP is authentic, strong, clean, and refreshing. I look forward to more new music from this band and encourage you to give them a listen and follow!

Lighting and staging would have to be in-house for event planner, as well as sound if built in on premise. Empowered does have the capacity to bring in sound with the band for spaces up to 2000 people. We also travel with our own sound engineer, stage manager, and merch tech. We do have a performance rider available upon request.
