Salvation's Near

We're Salvation's Near. We're from Franklin, OH. At this moment there are only two of us, Michael (Rhythm) and Brandon (Lead). We're looking to get a full lineup and starting making killer music.

Well, there's not much to it. Brandon and Michael went to school together, both played guitar, and decided, "Hey, we should play together someday." Well, they did. It then formed into, "You know what, we should start a band." They did. Michael wrote a song called, "Crimson Wave of Kings" and sent it to Brandon, who thought, for some unknown reason, that it would be a cool band name. That name stuck for about a year or year and a half. Then Michael was listening to a song that had the lyric, "Salvation's near" and he decided it would be a killer name. He ran it by Brandon and he as well loved it. We've recorded around 10-12 songs and we've wrote a ton of lyrics. They're just waiting on the perfect bandmates to join.

We're yet to play live, but we're hoping to play our first gig at a benifit wrestling show at our old high school.

Metal. Specific band influences include, but are not limited to: Metallica Megadeth Slayer Trivium Mastodon All That Remains As I Lay Dying It Dies Today If we could describe our music best it would be this: Megadeth + Trivium + Mastodon = Salvation's Near
