record their sophomore album, The Pillars of Humanity, which came out via Ocean Records. Around this time, Salomon would move away from the band and work on a rap project titled Native Son and the Foundation. Shortly after the release of the Native Son album, they broke up. In 1995, the Crucified played a reunion and final show. Throughout their career, the band had played alongside Pantera, D.R.I., G.B.H., Scaterd Few, and many others. Hoping to continue playing music, Salomon started a punk rock project called Outer Circle. At the same time as Outer Circle, Salomon was working on the beginnings of what became Stavesacre, alongside former the Crucified guitarist Jeff Bellew and Focused Bassist Dirk Lemmenes. The three found Jeremy Moffett, who briefly was a part of Deliverance, and the band was formed. Following the formation of Stavesacre, Outer Circle ended, with the new band – deemed a supergroup – being Salomon's main focus. The band signed with Tooth & Nail Records and began writing and recording their debut album, Friction. In the process of the recording, Moffett quit the band. Salomon, Bellew, and Lemmenes would then begin the search for a new drummer, landing on former Scaterd Few drummer Sam West to play on the material. The four would then start to work on the band's second album, Absolutes, which would be released in 1997. Following Absolutes, Ryan Denee joined the band on rhythm guitars, however, Bellew departed from the band. During his time in the Crucified and Stavesacre, Salomon was often called upon to lend vocals to songs by other bands, most notably Project 86, Argyle Park, CHATTERbOX, Focused, XL+Death Before Dishonor (DBD), and Mortal. Salomon also is the author of Simplicity, an autobiography that tells of his formative years in Fresno, California, his development as a singer, and the band Stavesacre's struggles to fit into the Christian music scene (and why it eventually left the scene). Initially self-published, a revised version was released in 2005 by Relevant Books, a publishing house connected to Relevant Magazine. He is the singer in White Lighter with Steven Dail (Project 86, Neon Horse) on Northern Records. Personal life Salomon resides in Florida with his wife Stephanie. He currently works for NASCAR.
