No one captured that feeling of being total trash and embracing it like Salem. They definitely kept me from killing myself. Much love to the band, and thank you for putting this together.
Bless you both 🙏🏿. Yes Salem makes deeply spiritual music. But not through transcendence, through embodiment and acceptance. So much of music tries to overlook the blackness, but they see you. They have night vision.
i still remember when i listened to King Night for the first time when i was 14. more specifically, the title track. there was something about that explosion of synth in the beginning, mixing with the choir and the intricate percussion. i loved it so much. then i listened to the rest of the album and loved it even more. not even in how it sounded, but how it felt. haunting, ugly, almost like it wanted you to feel like shit yet embracing it and finding the beauty within the shit. salem immediately became my obsession from that point forward for the rest of my formative years and still remains as one of my favorite bands of all time to this day. i’m 25 now. no band has put out such timeless music that influenced a whole generation after it without anyone even truly realizing it. thanks for this video. salem's story needs to be told for decades to come.
that's awesome you found them at 14. im 16 and found them from listening to witch house. you described how Salem sounds perfectly too they're very talented
dude im just listening to this for the first time, im on minute 4:44 xd Exactly like you described it. The only other music that gives me that feeling is the shit Arca produces. her Mutant album. Fuck. im 24 years old.
I love music. I've listened to it all. Yet no band left a mark on me like SALEM did. Since the age of fifteen, this band's music has influenced my everyday life. I'm 26 now. Time flies...
Flashback to that article in whatever huge music magazine that was that declared without hesitation there was nothing of value in Salem's music, it was a novelty fad, and it would rapidly fade from general memory...
It only hurts more the older we get. I thought I could drink myself to a permanent state of stability. How fucking naive of me. Now I’m an agoraphobic alcoholic fuck. Wish I could go back to 2010 so much
@@1hund yeah watching this last night was pretty heavy, especially seeing my letter I mailed to John while he was locked up. Pretty crazy how embedded ive become to their legacy. But I did it for all of us because I knew I wasnt the only person obsessed w this music, much love, stay down 🖤
Damn, how did I miss this? Well done on the editing and telling their story. I hope Salem has seen this and know how much the community loves them and their music.

This is the comment I was looking for. I just got done watching this... by myself at 4am in the morning. Seems fitting. #s4lemforever Thank you for this.
This was a perfect doco bro, nothing worse than when an artist goes into so much detail about their craft that it almost takes away from it, after watching this i still feel like there's so much mystery to SALEM, but it was so sick to see all those behind the scene photos and story's, props to you on this very authentic docco
Great video, thanks hund. I have so much love for this band. I had no idea Julia Fox from uncut gems knew John, and then made a photo book. Those photos were some of the rawest photos I’ve seen in my life. I want her book so bad
I think a lot of people miss out on how Salem as a musical group and as an entity which was so curiously unveiled over time through the internet and has been compiled in an easily accessible, consumable manner so well in this video, is by far the most comprehensive portrait in existence of what it's like to be an addict during the opioid epidemic in America. I say that as a 27 year old who's spent the past 10 years fighting to overcome heroin and meth addiction since the age of 17. This shit was so darkly relatable it was hard to watch at times. Thank you for this though. I think this is a more important piece of media than you probably understand...
So cutting. I guess that’s the really exiting stuff of the early 2010s. That will be the music that will last in 20,30,40 years of that time. The outstanding obscure. It’s really like what really kicks me back in the days. The sound of witchhouse was redlights of Salem first for me. All this vibe. Occultism was a big part of all that. A time of waste with money
I think this is one of the most intelligent comments I've seen on TH-cam. And the fact that it's relatable makes it more profound bc some of those images were legit almost like looking into a mirror.
The idea of the term 'opioide epidemic' ist a frame that we don't need (i just watched the first minute, just commented because i don't like corrupted langugage)
@@meinkanal3507 have you struggled with opioid addiction? How are the words corrupted? It’s a fucked up state the worlds in, and there’s a lot more people struggling with it than you might think. It’s a fitting “frame” because the word epidemic makes you think of it as how it is, a deadly, addictive drug that has swept the nation causing death, destruction and despair where it goes. Stfu.
really great job on this one!! One thing I'd like to add, is that in 2018, Supreme released their second full length skate video called "BLESSED" and for a section of few seconds they used DieWithMe, in fact in the soundtrack list during the ending credits there's mentioned "Salem - DieWithMe (Unreleased 2018)"
i can't remember when i first heard a SALEM track, but i can remember the feeling it gave me. it was music that felt like it understood me and could be a centerpiece for the shit i was going through. "It isn't a religion, but in a twisted way, it feel kind of like church." this feels so right and true. SALEM has always safe and comforting in a dark way, in a healing way. i'm thankful for their work. great video hund. much appreciated.
New Orleans, LA here and.... We do love Heroin & Meth. Never knew John & Jack was staying 45 min away from me, damn! People from around here call that area the " End of the world " because its the end of the Miss River.
I hadn't heard of Salem until about 3 years ago. Then I became obsessed hoping one day to find a video like this. Great work 👏 it's incredible that they are having a second phase of play.
this was such a fucking cool documentary. i discovered salem two years ago when arca reposted them on her insta and fell in love. i've always wanted to know more about jack and john and this was such a perfect explication of their origin story and contemporary status
Just read in the comments there is a lot about the second opiate epidemic so as much as I’d love to watch it I can’t. I found my 26 year old son dead of an overdose in 2016, then watched my second wife OD in 2018. I’ve had my own issues and watched many young friends die in the first opiate epidemic of the early 1990s that no one ever talks about. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to watch this, the beginning sucked me in.
Salem continues to be so influential I knew a doc would come along one day. I'm glad it was you. This had a lot of craftsmanship and it's good their journey is safely digitized forever now.
amazing vid, i can't believe that you saved so many ig stories/posts lol and how many i remember watching god dam. i also wish i had a pdf of julia's box ptsd and the other one. i think the Louisiana chronicles is very interesting and the fact that julia met them. i always wondered why jack and john ended up there but thanks to this vid, now i know.
Been listening to Salem since 2015 and ever since then their music has helped me through a lot ! I was never the type to say that about music but here I am
This is such an excellence documentary about this music group and their journey. Some awesome editing both sound--an incredible look into this Midwest saga of disaffected youth.
Most people don't know about the band Salem, but so many people have heard their influence on music today. It's everywhere and for some reason, they never got any credit for it. Maybe that's exactly how they wanted it to be.
Witchhouse was robbed by Trap music. Trap wouldn't exist without it. The genre is alive and well, but very underground. It's kind of the black metal of pop/electronica.
@@HittokiriBattousai17 you need to specify a very specific brand of trap music in the lieu of cloud rap and SoundCloud rap would not exist without witchhouse. But Salem is clearly very inspired by mid 2000s trap (Gucci mane) as well as 90s Memphis underground and Houston chopped and screwed. To say that trap wouldn't exist without witchhouse is a dishonest comment but I do understand what you mean you're just not explaining yourself properly.
@@josef786 I feel like hints of salems aesthetic can be found in bones work most prominently they could’ve maybe had a big aesthetic influence on schemaposse (JGRXXN, ghostemane and lil peep) but that’s as far as I can see them influencing music related to rap there’s probably more tho.
@@garrettbeno2174 there's way more dude you're missing out on the whole cloud rap subgenre from the 2010s which Salem and witchhouse was foundational and a precursor too, influencing artists online like black kray, sgp, rocky, early carti, awful records Yung bruh and many more in their sounds and aesthetics
@@josef786 see I was gonna say sgp but I think he was doing what he was doing without salems influence bc he’s been experimental and innovative years later. And black kray has been associated with salem for a fat minute now and Yung bruh fits in with lil peep, the people that I named influenced a lot of later rappers so salem obviously has had a bigger influence than what I named but I think the ones I named are the major one. Tyler the creators goblin album also gives me the vibe of king knight more than bastard
Great video! Just have to add: I’m surprised there was no mention of the NTS Radio show in May 2020 when SALEM released the Stay Down mix, that definitely got me through the first part of the pandemic knowing that they had returned. In September when the announcement was made of actual music being released, I was waiting for the day for a full album release. October 30th, 2020 was the best day in the pandemic for me 💖
I came to this from the JOEYY music video with the “Salem” pill that was referenced in Joeyys video, with everyone in the comments going “the Salem pill is crazy!”, me having no idea what that meant. As a trashy opioid but holed up, smart addict, I just relayed heavily to all the pictures. They really show 2 things. Addiction and living as a free person in America. I had friends like these guys, every night was some sketchy bon fire or we’d hit some private underground strip club while coming down off 5 pills of Eu rolls. Sweaty, dirty, not eating enough, lots of kissing, touching…. Just friend group, addict stuff. Looking at it (the pictures shown in the video are a perfect representation of how I spent my 19-24 years) and it just brings me right back to those old friends who are dead and gone or adults with kids now. I just heavily relate to the art/pictures shown and it gives a sense of “oh, other people were weird, dirty, beautiful, and free like us”…. Too bad I was the only musician out of all of my friends lol…. If only they played music 😂
I never really comment on anything but this video is special to me because I was introduced to SALEM by someone very special to me and I have this special memory that i will take with me forever of something I don’t think I could ever forget …🖤
It is from the outside and sometimes can be beautiful for me when looked back on once overcame. Sadness strikes me as more beautiful. Pain is the only thing I know of to represent the idea of Hell which in my mind isn't beautiful at all. But I do think the most striking beauty is often born directly from pain.
dude I could not tell you how may times I have been so close to killing myself. Salem has always been there to help me. I have enough to keep me occupied but I am in my head a lot. Thank you Hund for making this. I watch it over and over. I don't know when I will end it but I am grateful for sharing a time with this great group. If anyone is experiencing similar issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. Life is fucked and we all need each other. Full on trauma dump here but I am hanging by a thin thread. I am no one and neither are you. But keep pushing it does not matter what comes your way. My whole life has been fucked but it matters who is around you.. I hate myself but each day I keep going. I don't know why.
South American Witchhouse. I love dem back in 2013 or so. Redlights, King Night. D shit. Had a blog on blog.de with a lot of witchhouse digging on TH-cam and other stuff. The early internet was killed. No blog.de, no TH-cam music online anymore. These two Salem live on forever. Now I have to watch their docu. Love ❤️
This is a masterpiece. The final is fckng epic. Salem is that part of your mind that you thinks kind of unique, kind of shameful, kind of ugly and kind of beautiful.
No one captured that feeling of being total trash and embracing it like Salem. They definitely kept me from killing myself. Much love to the band, and thank you for putting this together.
I wanted to die because and wont because of them.
Bless you both 🙏🏿. Yes Salem makes deeply spiritual music. But not through transcendence, through embodiment and acceptance. So much of music tries to overlook the blackness, but they see you. They have night vision.

i'm watching it for the third time today, this video is so well done, thank you so much!
I thought I was gonna witness a southern gay love story idk who these people are i-
one of the greatest bands to touch the earth
I mean in a way it kinda is ??? Haha - just a lot more insane. Besides them being amazing musicians.
one of the best youtube videos i've ever seen
Game changers, i discovered them at 16 and blew my mind ever since
Third time watching this in the span of a month this is a masterpiece
❤️
hello
This is wonderful. Really great job! Been hoping someone would give them a good doc for a long time
The pain is so beautiful
It is from the outside and sometimes can be beautiful for me when looked back on once overcame. Sadness strikes me as more beautiful. Pain is the only thing I know of to represent the idea of Hell which in my mind isn't beautiful at all. But I do think the most striking beauty is often born directly from pain.
dude I could not tell you how may times I have been so close to killing myself. Salem has always been there to help me. I have enough to keep me occupied but I am in my head a lot. Thank you Hund for making this. I watch it over and over. I don't know when I will end it but I am grateful for sharing a time with this great group. If anyone is experiencing similar issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. Life is fucked and we all need each other. Full on trauma dump here but I am hanging by a thin thread. I am no one and neither are you. But keep pushing it does not matter what comes your way. My whole life has been fucked but it matters who is around you.. I hate myself but each day I keep going. I don't know why.
i love you bro
Life kicks, you kick back. Keep it up, I’m with you.
Forever my favorite band. I love salem
Wow. This was really well done. Thank you for making this.
One of the best videos in all youtube
I'm telling you thank you from the whole Russian community❤️
since the release of it i have watched this video all the way through at least a dozen times.
Thank you for making this. SALEM came back when we needed them most.
South American Witchhouse. I love dem back in 2013 or so. Redlights, King Night. D shit. Had a blog on blog.de with a lot of witchhouse digging on TH-cam and other stuff. The early internet was killed. No blog.de, no TH-cam music online anymore. These two Salem live on forever. Now I have to watch their docu. Love ❤️
You did an amazing job on this
This is a masterpiece. The final is fckng epic.
Salem is that part of your mind that you thinks kind of unique, kind of shameful, kind of ugly and kind of beautiful.
