It is their first concept album aboutanimal rights and anti-vivisection.[1] VocalistKarl Buechner divided the theme into three parts throughout the album: the feelings of the protestors, the viewpoint of the vivisectionists, and what the animals are experiencing.[2] A comic book of the Liberator series published byBlack Mask Studios was made in collaboration with the band and released simultaneously withSalvation of Innocents, sharing similar conceptual ideas and artwork.[3]
On July 10, 2020,Salvation of Innocents was reissued on vinyl as a limited edition.[4][5]
Salvation of Innocents received positive reviews from music critics.[6][7] Sam Mendez ofUltimate Guitar wrote that while musically the album did not stand out from the band's previous records, the decision to create aconcept album lyrically focused on one social issue made it worthwhile for animal rights activists as well as old and new listeners of Earth Crisis.[8]
