Gama bomb the terror tapes album review


The Terror Tapes is fourth studio album by Irish thrash metal band Gama Bomb. It was released on April 19th in Europe and May 7th in the US via AFM Records.

Contents

Background

The Terror Tapes was recorded in Dublin, Ireland and Suffolk, UK by Scott Atkins (Cradle of Filth, Stamping Ground) over autumn and winter 2012. The band had suffered throat surgery, tendon injury and the loss of original member Luke Graham before recording began. Before signing to AFM lead singer Philly Byrne said "We recorded without a label, did it all the hard way. We’ve spent long enough in the shadows; now we’re ready to re-emerge"

Release

The first single, "Terrorscope", was released as a free download on March 26, 2013 and released on limited edition vinyl in April, 2013. The Album followed on April 19, 2013 in Europe, and on May 7, 2013 in the US.

Artwork

The album cover was created by Graham Humphreys, best known for classic horror movie posters including "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and "Evil Dead". Lead singer Philly Byrne said of the collaboration "We grew up in terror of VHS covers painted by Graham, but we never knew his name. 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.
