Gama Bomb - New Album Details Revealed
Irish thrashers Gama Bomb have revealed some new details about their upcoming album The Terror Tapes, which will be be out on April 19th in Europe and May 7th the US via AFM Records. The cover artwork, which can be seen below, was illustrated by veteran movie poster artist Graham Humphreys. Check out also the complete tracklist of the album, consisting of 12 brand new tracks.
"We grew up in terror of VHS covers painted by Graham, but we never knew his name," says the band's vocalist Philly Byrne. "We found him, had the audacity to chat to him, and now it's a dream come true to work together and to see the astounding work he's done for us.
"The cover shows a man being consumed by a giant, living tape machine. It's got the feeling of a grubby old 1980's video sleeve, I think. It ties in perfectly with our obsession with old technology and mad horror imagery. It's the best album cover we've ever had. Everyone else's album art sucks because of this."
Regarding the musical direction of The Terror Tapes, Byrne, says: "I think this album's really going to shock people. We're not afraid to write brash, outrageous songs that will make people stand up and shout. There are some straight-up classics on this album and we can't wait for everyone to hear it."
He adds: "It's been a long road to bring The Terror Tapes to life. I had throat surgery, Domo (Dixon, guitars) had a tendon injury, we changed our line-up, we recorded without a label, did it all the hard way. We worked hard and got through and made a great album which we're proud to be releasing with such great guys as AFM, who really believe in what we're doing. We've spent long enough in the shadows. Now we are ready to re-emerge."
