Salvation of Innocents

2014 studio album by Earth Crisis

Salvation of Innocents is the eighth album by American metalcore band Earth Crisis, released in March 2014 by Candlelight Records. It is their first concept album about animal rights and anti-vivisection.[1] Vocalist Karl Buechner divided the theme into three parts throughout the album: the feelings of the protestors, the viewpoint of the vivisectionists, and what the animals are experiencing.[2] A comic book of the Liberator series published by Black Mask Studios was made in collaboration with the band and released simultaneously with Salvation of Innocents, sharing similar conceptual ideas and artwork.[3]

For the theological concept, see Salvation of infants.

Critical reception

Salvation of Innocents received positive reviews from music critics.[6][7] Sam Mendez of Ultimate Guitar wrote that while musically the album did not stand out from the band's previous records, the decision to create a concept album lyrically focused on one social issue made it worthwhile for animal rights activists as well as old and new listeners of Earth Crisis.[8]
