Artist: gama bomb

A little over a week ago, the MetalSucks Photo Pool's Alyssa Lorenzon braved the sights, smells, and people of New Jersey to go to the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ to capture some awesome mothertruckin' photos of legendary thrash acts Overkill and Forbidden, along with thrash upstarts Evile and Gama Bomb. As you can see [...]

Merry Rotting Christ mas, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the year-end installment of this column. Though other, more industrious writers have cast their vision back across the decade to craft comprehensive lists of goodness, spanning all ten years, this morsel of prose will focus solely on the dying year. Some of 2009's best offerings have already been profiled in my two previous columns , so spots are reserved in my top ten for Baroness' Blue Album , Shrinebuilder's self-titled release, and Gama Bomb's Tales from the Grave in [...]

I always wonder if artists think their fans are annoying. I tweet at artists all the time and sometimes they reply. This week I had to rappers tweet at me. Well, one of the re-tweeted me. People like Cage and MC Paul Barman who write back are so awesome. Thanks for being cool with the fans guys. I already could personally relate to the music but to see a real side seals the deal for me.

Under Siege: A weekly recap of the noteworthy riffage from the wicked world of metal and hardcore... this week: Slayer, Byzantine, Gama Bomb, Devin Townsend, Toxic Holocaust, the Black Dahlia Murder & more!

The last column took on a bifurcated Death Metal/Stoner Metal focus, so I'm happy to return today with an update that concerns the Bay Area's favorite kind of metal: Thrash! To bring the uninitiated up to speed, let us note the fact that these Nor-Cal shores were at the epicenter of a musical movement, at a time when bands like Exodus , Testament , Death Angel , and everyone's favorite Napster-enemies were beginning still-extant careers amid an orgy of polka-beating violence. In recent years, heavy music has witnessed an explosion of so-called "retro-thrashers," all [...]

Gama Bomb 's new album, Tales from the Grave in Space , is OK. It's well-played and well-recorded. I don't remember any of the songs, except for one that had a cool robot voice. Like most retro thrash, it just makes me want to listen to Slayer or Exodus. Skeletron The real story is that yesterday Earache gave it away for free download here . For physical media diehards, the label is printing up a few CD's (and possibly LP's). This is exactly [...]

After my recent " Marcy Playground fiasco ", I love seeing bands who 'get' leveraging the internet to get their music out to the masses. Irish thrashers, Gama Bomb have released their new album, Tales from the Grave in Space , as a free download that is 100% approved by Earache. Click on the album cover (above) to go directly to the download site. Earache notes - " No catches, no DRM. Just pure, adrenaline pumping thrash with wit to spare that will be yours forever. " "Produced by Scott Atkins [...]

You can download the new album from Gama Bomb , Tales From The Grave In Space , right now. For free. Well, actually the price is letting them know what your email address is, but unless you're one of those conspiracy theory nuts who thinks "The Man" wants to download your brain through the Internet and the only thing that stopping him is that you're not on his mailing list yet, then that's hardly going to be much of a problem. It's [...]

I understand that the music industry as we've known it is in somewhat of a bind. The ease of "illegal" downloading coupled with a crappy economy has cut off much of the flow of income a record label is built to generate. In this position, any sensible business would find a way to adapt in [...]

In a move that's seen relatively little press, Earache announced on Monday that they'll be giving away the entirety of Gama Bomb's new album Tales From The Grave In Space for free via Rapidshare. Woah, what? For free?!?!? "But there's money to be made on music sales!!" cry the industry curmudgeons. That sound I just heard [...]

Irish metallers Gama Bomb recently supported reunited thrash legends Lawnmower Deth at a special warm-up show in Milton Keynes, with the latter preparing for their appearance at the Download festival in the UK, and Gama Bomb themselves preparing for their Summer appearances at Hellfest in France, and Tuska Open Air in Finland. According to Gama Bomb frontman Philly Byrne, "playing with Lawnmower Deth was a bizarre but really fun experience. It was like a normal metal gig had been injected with silly sauce. When you play to those old-school crowds they don't [...]

It's not a stretch to imagine that Bonded By Blood are Exodus fans. There's a tshirt in the photo, at the back. Drummer, Carlos Regalado and guitarist, Juan Juarez What was your highlight of 2008? J: I think it would have to be the Barcelona Spain show that was part of the Thrashing Like A Maniac show with Gama Bomb and Sworn Amongst . It was called the Thrash em All [...]

Gama Bomb might well be the best thrashers to come out of Ireland… ever. Joe McGuigan is the self-proclaimed "leader of the futuristic warriors hell-bent on destroying Fightstar." He is also the bassist of the gumby troupe. What was your highlight of 2008? Releasing our ace new tape, Citizen Brain and doing over 60 shows in Europe. Touring with Exodus and shoving petrol-covered rags down the gullet of non-believers. What's the worst thing that [...]
