In the latest episode of the You Make The Scene podcast, I had a great conversation with Salem Vex, the creative mind behind the band CRUCIFICTION. We covered a wide range of topics, starting with his transition from his previous band/project, Bloodbather, to this fresh and exciting venture with CRUCIFICTION. Salem shared the challenges and the excitement of stepping into a new chapter and how that has influenced the writing and sound for CRUCIFICTION’s upcoming album, "Will To Power", which is set to release on October 11th via Rise Records.

A key highlight of our conversation was Salem’s unique approach to crafting conceptual albums. He discussed how he begins writing in the middle of the story, allowing the natural progression to lead him toward both the beginning and the end. This unconventional method not only brings a dynamic structure to the album but also adds a cinematic, non-linear arc to the overall narrative. Salem gave us a deeper look into the themes and emotional depth of "Will To Power", offering insight into the album's powerful message and what fans can expect from this new chapter of his artistic journey.

We also explored the intricacies of songwriting, the importance of authenticity in his music, and the transition into this new project after Bloodbather. There’s so much more packed into this episode, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the creative process, conceptual music, and the evolution of an artist. Don’t miss this fascinating episode filled with passion, creativity, and the stories behind CRUCIFICTION!
