Irish thrash metal group Gama Bomb issued sixth full-length studio album Speed Between The Lines on October 12th, 2018 through AFM Records.
“The title just popped into my head one night,” explained frontman Philly Byrne. “I’d been listening to a lot of 50s rock and doo-wop, songs like ‘Sixteen Candles’ and ‘Sweet Little Sixteen’, and it just kinda morphed into this idea: what if somebody wrote a Satanic teen rebellion song?”
Bassist Joe McGuigan added: “Our aim with this record was keep refining the Gama Bomb thrash formula. It’s got faster and more punky riffing, battling axes and catchy, memorable choruses from Philly, who’s back with the [Rob] Halford / [Joey] Belladona notes after injuring his voice a few years back.”
Speed Between The Lines was produced by longtime Gama Bomb collaborator Scott Atkins.
