Overview

On Friday, May 29 at Earshot Records in Greenville, South Carolina Graves of Valor played a free concert in honor of their second studio album Salarian Gate. The album marked the band's first full-length release and their Debut on Relapse Records. The Album was available for streaming in its entirety exclusively on iLike.com before it was officially released in the U.S.[3] The Album's lyrical content centers around the fall of Rome. Damon Welch, in an interview with Mass Movement Magazine stated "I’m really into history and had just finished reading Edward Gibbon’s ‘The Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire when I began the writing process for this album so that’s what was on my mind at the time...I still love some good ole Satanism myself, I just don’t know enough about it to write a song. Whatever makes for an interesting album is good enough for me."[4]
