Sacramento deathcore outfit Saltwound are back with ‘Pound of Flesh’, a standalone single featuring Ringo Waterman of fellow California heavyweights Mugshot. Released via SharpTone Records, the track follows Saltwound’s 2024 debut album The Temptation of Pain and picks up where that record left off, combining deathcore and metalcore with the blunt, groove-heavy approach the band have dubbed “Norcal Violence”. ‘Pound of Flesh’ is built around thick riffs and an increasingly claustrophobic atmosphere, with Waterman’s guest appearance adding another voice to the track without disrupting Saltwound’s own identity. There’s little wasted movement here.
