Eind september 2007 doken deze (ex-) bandleden van Pantherland en de Sambora’s Jelle K. (zang), Jelle de L. (gitaar), Tijmen (bas) en Guyon (drum) voor het eerst de oefenruimte in en 21 Gun Salute was geboren. Met hun metallic hardcore/mosh met invloeden van o.a. Hatebreed, Rise & Fall en No Turning Back wisten ze al vrij snel publiek voor zich te winnen

Word decline. Despair is the face of mankind; a greedmachine. In these times we grew up and in these times we have to keep our heads above the water. Obviously we are the ones floating in quiet waters but the shit we have to witness everyday still aches. We're fortunate we found a connection in a world gone blind, we're glad we found a positive output for our negative thoughts. If we hadn't, we might have lost our cool already. The weight of a dying world bears down on our shoulders and the low, blind elite on top are making it even harder. So unfortunately world peace might indeed be undoable, therefore we must try to rise above, right? We try so by walking side by side and staying cold for everything that tries to bring us down. In our own words; for all the plagues they spread, we're cold. This digital release is written in this tradition, please enjoy..
