GAMA BOMB – Speed Between The Lines
15th October 2018Northern Irelandâs biggest thrash crossover band GAMA BOMB are back with their 6th studio album âSpeed Between The Linesâ via AFM Records. GAMA BOMB are back with 12 tracks of neck breaking, tongue in cheek and balls to the wall thrash that has dollops of punk, speed, rock and metal entwined into the songs!Â
Frontman Philly Byrne is back on top form after his 2012 throat operation and his Halford inspired screams and operatic falsettos are back on form as well. Yes his voice will grate on some listeners nerves and put them off…but more shame on them!!! GAMA BOMB do everything at 100mph and the riffs speed and snake around the bombastic drumming that all add to the chaotic swagger of a drunk high speed chase (I donât condone drink driving by the way!). Everything is done with such fun and tongue in cheek that itâs highly infectious and will have you smiling while furiously banging your head like a madman! They have even wrote a song about 80s acting legend âKurt Russellâ and they run with the humorous lyrics and âif you donât like Kurt Russell youâre scumâ as so say GAMA BOMB!
However they can address current world issues in their neck breaking thrash such as âAlt-Reichâ and âWorld Gone To Hellâ which captures the essence of GAMA BOMB silliness and 100mph attack but adds an edge of realism to the lyrics! They then go back to the humour with tracks such as â666teenâ about a teenage âsatanistâcoming of age tale, âBring Out The Monsterâ which introduces fans to GAMA BOMBâs new mascot Snowyâ The Gamabombinable Snowman and the song will have you head banging furiously.
