Fires in Heaven, Red Dragon and Salem Today
Ten years after King Night, Salem came back. This post covers the records from 2020 on, from a mixtape to our second album and a compilation that opens the vault.
What brought Salem back in 2020?
In 2020 we released the mixtape Stay Down. Then came two singles: "Starfall" on 18 September 2020 and "Red River" on 16 October 2020. Both led into our second album.
What is Fires in Heaven?
Fires in Heaven came out on 30 October 2020 on Mad Decent. It is the sound of Salem today: the same slow weight as before, with Jack Donoghue and John Holland at the controls. If King Night is where you met us, this is where to hear what changed.
What is Red Dragon?
Red Dragon, released on 14 May 2026, collects B-sides and unreleased material from over the years, plus four new tracks. It is the closest thing to a look inside our archive.
Are we still playing live?
Yes. We played Primavera Sound on 7 June 2025.
Which designs go with these records?
Starting out: if you know us from Fires in Heaven, start with the designs that carry the Salem name in big letters. They go with everything.
Going deeper: the product page for each design says what it shows, front and back, so you can match it to the record you play most.
Picking a piece: tees for every day, long sleeves and crewnecks for cooler nights, hoodies for the cold. Kids' and youth sizes are there too.
Where do you get it?
Every Salem design on every garment is in one place, with a size chart on each product page.
