Full review
The underground has had a line drawn through the sand, on one side you have the haircut brigade, happier to make their name on myspace than getting on the road and playing to as many people as they possibly can. On the other you have those embracing the punk rock ethic, who will play with anyone, anywhere and with all they've got. On 'Orchestra of Wolves', Gallows have made it damn clear which side of the line they are standing on, and this side contains no hair dye.
Opener 'Kill the Rhythm' sets the tone for the next 35 minutes; it's an aggressive, thumping track showcasing the unhinged vocals of front man Frank Carter, a man with a reputation for danger on the stage. Album highlight 'In the Belly of a Shark' with its use of eerie keyboards showcases exactly what Gallows are about. Its furious, its eerie but most of all its heavy hitting.
There is no real groundbreaking element about Gallows, you have heard bands doing a similar thing before, this could break many bands but what Gallows have is the pure visceral energy to back up the riffs and screams. Every lyric screamed, you know is screamed with intent. Every riff played, you know it is with gusto and most importantly, every track you hear, you know it's played with love for what they are doing.
These guys are gonna be massive!
