Gama Bomb (thrash - Irlande)

[metal militia]

Les thrasheurs irlandais de GAMA BOMB sont passés au Grindstone Studios de Suffolk avec le producteur Scott Atkins pour mettre en boîte "Tales From The Grave In Space", leur prochain album qui sera gratuit! En effet dès le 5 novembre vous pourrez télécharger gratuitement ce nouvel opus en intégralité (covers comprises) et le tout avec le soutien de leur label Earache Records

Pour patienter jusque là vous pouvez découvrir une vidéo du groupe en studio à cette adresse :


Ils espérent quoi en refilant l'album gratos? partir en tournée longtemps car plus de personnes aura écouté leur musique ?
on verra si cette affaire a des retombées positives pour eux...perso, j'en doute.

[Thrashos]

En plus j'aime pas les cds gravés, j'espère qu'on aura une version originale sous peu.

[Cruchot jr]

Le label & le groupe ont intérêt à faire le maximum de pub pour cela. Ce qui va coûter de l'argent également.

[Everflow]

La même démarche que nos lyonnais de Revenge pour leurs derniers albums... et qui désormais splittent.

L'album sortira bien en cd et Lp, avec un EP en plus pour la première version :

Q. In giving us your new album for free you are really spoiling us, but will there be a physical release of Tales from the Grave in Space? I like CDs and records and stuff.


A. Yes, there will be! The plan is to release Tales... as a deluxe CD and vinyl in January 2010. The extra treat is that the album's physical release will include an EP, titled Half Cut, which will not be available for GB-approved download. Half Cut consists of five new, never-before-recorded tracks laid down especially for the EP. There'll also be an extra-special boxed set at some point with CDs, vinyl, a t-shirt and art and all that stuff.




Q. How come your record label are up for giving your album, which cost money to record, away for free?

A. Well, it's because they're undertaking an experiment. Our label, Earache Records, are known for trying out different things, and this to them is a new way of releasing that will hopefully boost interest in the band and lead to more profit for them when they wheel out our physical release and all that jazz. To us, it's about the music reaching more potential fans and raising our profile, so we've got twin goals that don't conflict too much. Get it?

C'est pas mal comme truc. Je pense que ceux qui ont téléchargé et qui aiment vraiment achèteront l'album... enfin j'espère On verra bien si c'est viable et si ces expériences se renouvellent avec d'autres groupes. Et puis après tout, Roadrunner a fait pire en sortant physiquement la version basique de l'album avant de rééditer en version "deluxe" trois mois plus tard Dans ce que Earache propose, au moins, les fans ne paieront qu'une fois l'album, et en version spéciale

[Thrashos]

Par contre, pendant que j'y pense, je n'ai pas réussi à le télécharger, j'ai laissé mon mail et tout mais rien...

[Thrashos]

HELP ME PLEASE!

[metalizer]

Par contre, pendant que j'y pense, je n'ai pas réussi à le télécharger, j'ai laissé mon mail et tout mais rien...

ben moi y a pas de problème
je rentre mon adresse, je clique sur OK, le bouton download apparait et y a plus qu'à cliquer dessus

[Thrashos]

Sa y'est!!! Sa marche enfin, pourtant j'ai fait un paquet de tentatives sans succès, mais sa voulais pas passer.

Merci à Guardianofsteel qui s'était gentiement proposé de me le passer par msn, du coup c'est bon.

[metal militia]

Bon ben c'est du Gama Bomb quoi

Donc bon thrash qui te fait headbanger!
Quand je pense que tout le monde va se ruer sur le Slayer (qui m'enmerde déjà soit dit en passant), alors que ce GAMA BOMB va passer inaperçu. Quoique avec leur histoire de téléchargement gratuit....
Bref, vivement que le support physique sorte, parce que cet album vaut clairement l'achat ( de toute façon avec moi, y a vraiment peu de choses qui ne vaille pas l'achat, je suis vraiment bon public! ).

[Thrashos]

Bien que je l'avais déjà écouté sur youtube en attendant d'avoir le mp3 complet, maintenant que je l'ai ça fait quelques fois que je me le passe et il est vraiment excellent, hâte d'aller voir ces morceaux en live le 22!

[guardianofsteel]

Même si il est bien cool et que ça riff sa méga race, je trouve qu'il manque d'hymnes du style "Hammer Slammer", "Evil Voices", "Bullet Belt" ou "Thrashoholic" cet album!

[Holy Cross]

je trouve ça vraiment dommage de mettre un album en téléchargement gratuit!!

A choisir si il ne veulent pas gagner d'argent sur la vente de cd, j'aurais fait un cd a prix coutant!!!!

[Larry]

Pour en avoir parlé hier avec les ex-Revenge justement, c'est plus rentable de ne pas sortir d'édition CD, car ça coûte tellement de fric de pondre un cd (artwork, pressage, com sur la distrib, frais de port, ..) qu'au final avant de réellement rentabiliser la sortie d'un cd faut vraiment en vendre un bon paquet. Car si tout ne se vend pas, ce qu'il te reste sur les bras, tu l'as payé et tu l'as dans l'os.

[AdrieN]

téléchargé et écouté : bah ça thrash, mais après 4 morceaux ça saoule!

[Thrashos]

Même si il est bien cool et que ça riff sa méga race, je trouve qu'il manque d'hymnes du style "Hammer Slammer", "Evil Voices", "Bullet Belt" ou "Thrashoholic" cet album!

Pas faux, je trouve tout les morceaux bons pour l'instant, mais c'est un peu trop régulier, sa manque un peu de titres qui se démarques du lot je trouve.

[Pierre]

Je le trouve très bon, moi, cet album
Et d'ailleurs, le téléchargement gratuit légal semble avoir marché puisque Earache va sortir l'édition CD, commandable sur le site du label pour la modique somme de 5,45 €

Changement de guitariste chez les thrashers irlandais :

It's with much sadness we announce that after 10 years Luke is parting ways with GAMA BOMB.

Says Luke: “After 10 years with GAMA BOMB I've decided to call it a day. Many thanks to my best mates in the band for all the good times and mad shit we got up to round the world. Who would’ve thought ‘Project I love Nuclear Assault’ would have taken us so far?

“Raised pints and positive gestures to all the great folk I've gotten to work with, the good friends I've made and of course I have to thank the fans for making it all possible, mad bastards every last one. Up the hoods.”

Our good pal John Roche, who has helped us out as a live guitarist over the last year, is going to step in as the band's new rhythm man. We're sure you'll help us welcome him, and to pay tribute to the brilliantness of Luke as a member of the band.

This has been a very tough decision for the whole band, but we're now ready to begin making our fourth album with John on board, Luke's blessings and the same formula for thrash we've always had.

See you all soon.

It's official - our new album THE TERROR TAPES will be released in April on AFM RECORDS! Keep an eye here for more news!

RELEASE DATES:
April 19th - Europe
April 22nd - UK
April 23rd - USA

En espérant qu'il soit plus direct que le précédent.

sur scene ça donne bien,mais sur disque ça tourne un peu a vide.

[Psyko Killer]

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB will release their fourth album, "The Terror Tapes", on April 19 in Europe and May 7 the U.S. via AFM Records. The cover for the follow-up to 2009's "Tales From The Grave In Space" was illustrated by veteran movie poster artist Graham Humphreys, who created pieces for classics "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and "Evil Dead".

"We grew up in terror of VHS covers painted by Graham, but we never knew his name," says GAMA BOMB 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 1980s 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."

"The Terror Tapes" will be preceded by a single for the track "Terrorscope", available both as a completely free download on March 26, with a vinyl release following in April.

"It was really important to us to give people some music for nothing," says Byrne. "It's how we get our music and we want people to know we're cool with them doing that, as long as they support us. Support comes from a lot of different places, not just the front pocket."

"The Terror Tapes" track listing:

01. The Wrong Stuff
02. Legend of Speed
03. Backwards Bible
04. Beverly Hills Robocop
05. Smoke The Blow With Willem Dafoe
06. We Started The Fire
07. Terrorscope
08. The Cannibals Are In The Streets - All Flesh Must Be Eaten
09. Shitting Yourself To Live
10. Matrioshka Brain
11. Metal Idiot
12. Wrecking Ball

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, guitar] had a tendon injury, we changed our lineup, 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’re ready to re-emerge."

"Tales From The Grave In Space" was given away as a free download via Rapidshare with GAMA BOMB's then-label Earache Records.
