Salvation Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salvation Group is a UK based media company, specialising in exploitation cinema and alternative music.

Salvation's origins can be traced back to 1993, when founder Nigel Wingrove started up Redemption Films. Redemption showcased the best in European horror and sleaze cinema, with such titles as Killer Nun, Profondo Rossos and films by Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Bruno Mattei, Lucio Fulci among others.

Today Salvation Group comprises the following projects;

Salvation Films, still the company's main interest, features the following film labels;

Redemption Films - Showcasing the best in classic and modern horror and sleaze.

Jezebel Films - soft-core sexploitation from the 60s and 70s.

Purgatory Films - specifically adult interest films, including works by Michael Ninn. Purgatory has both softcore and hardcore titles.

Sacrament Films - Japanese pink cinema.

Triple Silence - Salvation's record label specialising in dark, sexual and satanic music with a recent move towards more dark metal and all its sub-genres.

Hydra - an off-shoot of Triple Silence, covers Industrial, Martial, Neo-folk, Noise and the emerging Miliatary pop genre.

SalvationTV - an uncensored internet based TV channel.

Satanic Sluts - a project aiming to collect 666 of the world's most beautiful and depraved women in one place.

Salvation also had an involvement with Asphyxiation, a label specialising in extreme hardcore S&M films.

Redemption TV was a brief partnership between Salvation and Carnaby Media to create an alternative lifestyle channel, which aired on Sky Digital. Salvation ceased their involvement with this project shortly after launch, and the channel was rebranded as ROCKWORLD.TV.

Salvation Group also produces its own films, including nunsploitation shocker Sacred Flesh, and were producing films for its planned hardcore UK Fetish label OBEY UK, but this seems to have been put on hold.
