ÅSKVÄDER revealed a new song called “Salt”

Following the explosive track “Farewell,” the Swedish rock band Åskväder continues its journey toward its upcoming third album, Wax, with the new song “Salt,” which was released on July 16 via Icons Creating Evil Art—accompanied by an official music video.

Driven by thunderous riffs, rousing melodies, and the self-assured attitude typical of Scandinavian rock, “Salt” solidifies Åskväder’s new era with frontwoman and guitarist Saga Flygare Täll. The song blends blues-infused hard rock with catchy hooks and raw emotional intensity, capturing the chemistry that made the band’s new lineup feel like a natural evolution from the very beginning.

“‘Salt’ was the very first song Saga sang when she auditioned with us,” the band explains. “It clicked right away—we knew instantly that she was a perfect fit for us.”

This immediate connection is palpable throughout the song. Built on powerful guitars, driving rhythms, and a strong vocal performance, “Salt” blends the energy of classic rock with modern melodic hard rock, showcasing a band that sounds more confident and focused than ever.
