Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have unveiled the artwork and tracklist for their forthcoming album \u201cThe Terror Tapes\u201d.
The band\u2019s fourth album, to be released on April 19th in Europe and April 22nd in the UK, followed by a US release on May 7th, boasts a cover illustrated by veteran movie poster artist Graham Humphreys who created pieces for classics A Nightmare On Elm Street and Evil Dead. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe grew up in terror of VHS covers painted by Graham, but we never knew his name,\u201d says vocalist Philly Byrne. \u201cWe found him, had the audacity to chat to him, and now it\u2019s a dream come true to work together and to see the astounding work he\u2019s done for us.
\u201cThe cover shows a man being consumed by a giant, living tape machine. It\u2019s 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\u2019s the best album cover we\u2019ve ever had. Everyone else\u2019s album art sucks because of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Terror Tapes\u201d will be preceded by a single for the track \u201cTerrorscope\u201d, available both as a completely free download on March 26th , with a vinyl release following in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was really important to us to give people some music for nothing,\u201d says Byrne. \u201cIt\u2019s how we get our music and we want people to know we\u2019re cool with them doing that, as long as they support us. Support comes from a lot of different places, not just the front pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
GAMA BOMB have also revealed the tracklist of the album, which will be released on AFM Records and follows the band\u2019s 2009 album \u201cTales From The Grave In Space\u201d.<\/p>\n
