Cool artwork! GOTTA HAVE THIS!

I like more the primative artwork from their first album but this is still okay. Of course i will buy it.

Wasn't really that keen on that cover either, but this artwork reminds me too much of the Earache comp. "Thrashing like a maniac", I assume that Earache will do a Vinyl edition also for this, what with Evile and all getting that treatment.

I dont think this new artwork fit with their old school music and attitude. They want to take their fans back to the 80s but with this artwork they are not going to make it , they need a primative artwork, a 80s one, a kind of a punk metal artwork would be cool. Some headbangers, crossovers and punks killing some hip hop kid

Is Earache putting this CD out?

Yes they are.


I agree Krokus, there's nothing like seening a bit of art with a Doc Martin boot being placed so far up someones arse, that you could tie the laces through their mouth.

I would argue about the cover not taking someone back to the 80's. It has a comic book feel to it, and comics were big time collector's items in the 80's and 90's. Everyone I knew at the time (we were all metalheads) was into collecting comics.

BTW, I will have this album!

Personally, I like the art. Martha Splatterhead-ish. Besides, the tunes WILL rage, what else really matters? You can't see art when skankin' at 1000 mph.

To me this look more like the 90s/OOs comics, not the 80s comics that i was reading when i was young. Those old comics also had many times that tipical primative artwork. For exemple, those CONAN from the 80s are so different then CONAN from 92 or 93.

I bought many albums back in the days because the artwork, specialy in the late 80s beginning of the 90s thats why:YES, ARWORK IS IMPORTANT (at least to me).

Thanks LOCKY, you got my point

I'm not saying the art is Un-important, just that the art does not change the music. And besides, we're not in the 80's any more. Some of these bands were not even ALIVE in the 80's. It's their scene - it's new, not recycled - nothing wrong with the art being modernized to go along with the modernization of the scene itself. All I know is that for the first time in 15 years, I am EXCITED about new music again!!! SEND MORE PARAMEDICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its not the 80s anymore but GAMA BOMB try to sound and look like a 80s band, something i like very much too.

I'm totally with ya - and I would love Pushead to do all the art for all the bands! But life goes on.

Why don't ya get over to the states, Krokus, and we mosh it up for awhile?

I really like their music (and lyrics) but find the singer to be totally..bland?. He's completely without any kind of unique magnetism. I think a more aggressive vocalist would sound killer with these guys.

Love the "techno enthusiasts" line in 'Bullet Belt'.

Amazing album, everyone needs this.

"Time to full the thrash vacuum, thrash like it's '86"

Really want this one.

yeah me too..............better than evile in my opinion

Much better than Evile. I saw both of them on the same show a few months ago and Gama Bomb were far superior (Definitely not saying evile were bad, because they were excellent)

The samples sound quite good and far better than their first disc.

Need to pick this one up

It's a excellent new school Thrash listen, so is the new Bonded By Blood!!-TJ

I'm hoping to pick up a copy of this soon.

I got this album a week or so ago.

This is easily one of the best of the new school of thrash.

Some great riffs on here.
