Notes:
– Active from 1979 until 1983. Reformed in 2009
– Won a Battle of Bands competition at the Huddersfield Polytechnic in 1983 which resulted to the recording of their 1983 Demo
– Both in the early 1980s and since their reincarnation, Salem deliver excellent British Metal both in the studio and on stage!
