Gallows - Orchestra Of Wolves

I played at Gallows' first ever show in St.Albans, (as Last Fight for the Living Dead) so it’s a pleasure to get the chance to review their first full length, 'The Orchestra of Wolves'.

This is an immensely clever record. It’s wonderfully messy in places, but also perfectly tight, with raw vocals and frantic guitar lines interspersed with interesting organ lines and perfect drums.

Considering the amount of members the band have had leave, re-join, leave again, and generally confuse everyone, it’s a wonder they'’ve got this record out. A reasonable amount of this credit must go to Kev Banks, who produced the record and (I understand) played some of the guitar parts. He’'s got a fantastic full sound at times, with a tightness that still captures the raw elements of the band.

The Orchestra of Wolves is a confident debut by the band, and to be honest, it’s worth buying just for the fantastic artwork alone.
