As the quartet grew in popularity they toured all through the tri-state area in support of their 2005 EP, entitled Bedsprings and Bloodshed. With gaining popularity the group has returned to the studio with the following lineup changes to record the follow up to the prior. Nick Cetrone formally of other local bands (Skinny Tree, Red Cellar Doors, Disingrace) has now stepped in to fill the role on drums made available with Jim's April 2006 departure. Vince has made the move from bass to guitar. This leads to Brian "Brooklyn" Martinez becoming bassist.
Nick Cetrone played for a full U.S. tour while drummer Brandon Tabor (The Analyst) prepared for tracking Carnal Repercussions and current member Rob Walters learned the set. After Carnal Repercussions was released, Matt Wesoly became the new vocalist. The current lineup did several U.S. tours, several tours in Europe, and then released a second album, Ares, in 2009.

Mutations
Salt The Wound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead we'll stand on our feet again, let's pretend.
The day that the starving man never bit me.
This blood drenched man, seemed to cry for help, as he stared at me, his eyes were changing.
Rising to his feet, incapacitated, puking violently, charging straight for me.
With his mouth opened wide drooling intensely, I leapt the fence and ran inside.
In the house I hide, barricading everything, what would come next?
Terrified, running up the stairs, finally found the shotgun kept under my bed.
Removing the Debris only to see, the starving man behind me, as he pounced I never had a chance.
He bit my hand, he fucking bit me, and it's over for you swiftly placed the shotgun, to his head.
I'll share the same fate soon.
The lyrics of Salt The Wound's song Mutations describe a horrific scenario where the singer imagines himself in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. The lyrics begin with an expression of hope that they would've somehow avoided the tragic conclusion of a terrible situation. The singer pretends that they would be able to stand on their feet again instead of falling down. However, the lyrics then take a violent turn as the singer describes a terrifying encounter with a man who seems to be turning into a zombie. The blood-drenched man has changing eyes and seems to be crying for help, but suddenly rises to his feet and charges straight for the singer.
The singer runs inside the house, and in a state of panic, barricades everything and searches for a weapon to defend themselves. They find a shotgun under their bed and decide to end the nightmare by shooting the zombie. But as they remove the debris, they realize that the starving man is standing behind them, and they never had a chance. The zombie bites the singer, and it's all over for them. The lyrics are a graphic and violent description of a world overrun by the undead, and the feeling of hopelessness and despair that comes with it.
