Gallows - Orchestra Of Wolves
As you might expect from a band whose last hometown gig was abandoned three songs in due to a violent crowd, this record is certainly intense and vicious.
The use of keyboards is very different for a 'hardcore' band, but they manage to pull it off. Heavily indebted to Black Flag and The Bronx it's all a bit shouty and screamy, but once you can make out what's being said, lyrically and sonically it's extremely good. From the records art work, the cool song names ('Will Someone Shoot That Fucking Snake' and 'Just Because You Sleep Next To Me Doesn't Mean You're Safe') and apocalyptic riffs, this is the sort of album which could start a cult scene.
Extremely gritty, you wouldn't want to meet this album down a dark alley by yourself, or with infants in tow. Worth a purchase, though maybe not one for the youngsters.Zahid Fayyaz
