Gama Bomb
The retro thrash craze continues to flourish, this time with Northern
Ireland contributing a band by the name of Gama Bomb.
They debuted with the short-but-sweet
Survival Of The Fastest in 2005
before
Earache
added them to their ever-expanding thrash roster, releasing
the wonderfully titled
Citizen Brain in 2008.
Most every song is under three minutes and they all race along at the
speed of light -- really, explanations are unnecessary with these kinds
of bands, they don't pretend to be anything other than 80's thrash
worshippers, and for many, that's just fine.
Now on the
AFM
roster, they're continuing their retro onslaught with an EP and a
full-length in 2013.
