British hard rock and heavy metal band Salem UK has released their new single, “Meteorite”, offering a glimpse into their upcoming album, Outer Limits , which will be out on November 29, 2024 via Rude Awakening Records . Inspired by the long-standing tradition of Hull Fair, Europe’s largest travelling fair dating back to 1279, “Meteorite” combines the band’s classic heavy sound with the energetic spirit of the carnival. The track takes listeners on a musical ride, blending powerful riffs with anthemic rock elements. Adrian Jenkinson (bass) shared insights into the new single, saying, “Initially, I thought the heavy main riff meant we were going to write a heavy metal tune, but it turned into more of a rock anthem. The second half really pushes along. The song is named after a fair ride, and the lyrics are about people’s interpretation of the lights and stars they see in the sky. It might be a saviour – or it might be a bomb!” Simon Saxby (vocals) added with a touch of hum

Following the signing announcement for Rude Awakening Records, SALEM UK is now ready to unveil the first details about upcoming album “Outer Limits”. This release is inspired by Hull Fair, which takes place in the band’s home town. It is the biggest travelling fair in Europe, officially launched in 1279; it’s a historical event where visitors can find any kind of ride. Each track title of “Outer Limits” has a carnival element and many are named after one of the rides, bringing the carnival theme to the whole album. Quotes: Simon Saxby (Vocals) Probably the best recording sessions we’ve done—certainly the most relaxed we’ve been in the creative process. The biggest and best surprises usually came in the form of Adrian’s cooking skills. I would gladly walk to Hull for one of his curries!!! All in all though it was a good experience getting back in the studio: can’t wait to do it again!! Adrian Jenkinson (Bass guitar/Production) I never thought I would be involved in a “concept
