Death by Salt: A Slug Magazine Compilation
Editorial Reviews
<"b00020hdoo2999"> About the Artist
Death by Salt is SLUG Magazine's 7th bastard child compilation showcasing 59 underground acts from the City of Salt. Apathetic to any precedent or standard set before it, this 3-disc box set, complete with a full-color 64-page booklet of band photos and profiles, and an artfully crafted, letter-pressed and screenprinted box, is intended to kick a nice-sized dent in the ignorance of those tragically unaware of the talent hidden behind the Zion Curtain. Come discover what living in the most socially oppressive and politically suffocating state in the nation does for that state's counterculture. Salt Lake musicians don't make music for scenester points, marketing plots, fame or fortune. They do it in order to create an alternate world, lurking just underneath the city’s surface—a world in which they can actually belong. Why does Utah have so much kick-ass music? Isolation from surrounding states has also helped in spawning Utah's introverted, original creativity. Our! being constantly stigmatized and neglected by the national music scene makes for healthy perspective and outright mistrust of the music industry. Many of us grew up in LDS families, where learning and playing music was often akin to breathing. One final theory is that Utah has the biggest open-pit copper mine in the world, and one of the very few inland lakes of salt on the globe. Salt and copper make batteries, kids. We have so much damn energy that our instruments bleed with punishment.
