This will blow up in like 15 years.

[@yugen]

lol. Unfortunately the music industry is sooooo saturated now, so many transcendent tracks will simply be forgotten except for by a few daring adventurers and explorers.

[@unclemaggot]

I'd say no, since the genre is pretty much dying rn

[@violetmushroom6]

Now this particular track but, the mainstream will some day see the light of this rawness

[@elwoodshadeside2350]

[@Chamomile369]

This song is from 10 years ago lol

[@NakeyJakey]

there's something fucking perfect about that damn truck and this song. one of my favorite music videos for sure

[@joserogan7794]

It definitely is one damn sexy truck

[@cervidae5255]

Salem sic

[@user-bs3mn5pm8p]

Salem

[@luckyduckydrivingschool3615]

It's definitely a great music video. If you know a bit about Salem, their twisted, darkly beautiful sound is influenced by some rough personal stuff. Cruising through the night with no home in sight, truck stop prostitutes, biker outlaws, gory accidents, and death are all appropriate themes.

[@melaniemiguel1698]

that was the most fucking intense truck video i've ever seen

[@deadinfebruary]

This is my favourite comment on this video

[@m00nrac00n]

Its CRAZY to think this was made 10 years ago. Very ahead of its time. You can absolutely hear how artists like Arca got inspired by Salem.

[@myrmur]

Was thinking exactly the same. 10 years ago. Arca. Crazy.

[@mariecait]

it makes me feel so old

[@LaserReptar]

Arca definitely has been making music for way longer than ten years? TF?

[@xourbo8734]

isn't it kind of textbook witch house, which peaked in 2011... still really good tho fr!!!!

[@Vastatio]

@@LaserReptar Arca first released material in 2012, Salem in 2008; King Night was released in 2010.

it's weird to think that I've been listening to Salem for over 10 years. It feels like not that long ago I was listening to this album for the first time in a smoke filled bedroom.

That truck is very Stephen King. One of the best songs ever recorded. Thank you Salem! / Swedish fan!!!

[@jackjude]

Yeah, it kind of adds to the menace if you see that connection.

[@allbadendsall]

there's a Stephen Spielberg movie about a killer semi called "duel". I think it was his first feature film.

best way to be introduced to salem

[@EternalExodus]

this song is so old, yet so new. I think it's really about the choir in the background; that makes it for me. and just how messy the beat is. there's nothing really like it. it's the progenitor of all of witch house and for that I adore it. fuck, I love it so much.
