Gama Bomb

也許在如今看似繁榮的thrash回潮當中，這樣直接、純粹、輕松的專輯更容易讓人滿足。不玩抒情，不搞氛圍，也不炫技，編曲短小精悍，準確命中thrash的原始核心，Gama Bomb 的音樂似乎專門為party或者live準備的。08年的專輯記憶猶新，09年的新作又來了，這幫thrash愣頭青還真是高效。曲風一如既往的爽快，不過總長度有些縮水，歌曲雷同度高的問題仍然存在。

Gama Bomb hail from Dublin, Ireland, where bandmembers Philly Byrne (vocals), Domo Dixon (lead guitar), Luke Graham (rhythm guitar), Joe McGuigan (bass and vocals), and Paul Caffrey (drums) were raised on a varied diet of video games, horror movies, comic books, and, most important of all, classic '80s thrash. Originally founded in 2002, the group's constantly mobile lineups honed their sound on a pair of demos and countless live shows before debuting with 2005's self-explanatory Survival of the Fastest LP, which they recorded and released independently, and notably ahead of the curve where the imminent thrash revival was concerned. Therefore, once said revival actually started to take hold across the globe, it was no surprise to see Gama Bomb snapped up by Earache Records, which unleashed their accomplished sophomore album, Citizen Brain, in summer 2008.
