Gama Bomb announce new album ‘BATS’

GAMA BOMB have announced a new album!

Titled BATS, the upcoming album from the Irish thrash metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Sea Savage, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Prosthetic Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Philly Byrne says, “BATS is the weirdest album we’ve ever made. It has a guest spot by hip hop legend THE EGPYTIAN LOVER, a surprise sax solo, a futuristic prologue, and a crossover song with lyrics by Percy Bysshe Shelley – we finally felt confident enough to take the brakes off and had a lot of fun with the writing. Weird is good!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Speed Funeral.

Speaking about the new song, Byrne says, “there are songs on our new album that diverge from the ‘GAMA BOMB formula’ a lot, so we wanted to lead with Speed Funeral because it’s a fun, catchy, classic GB mosher. We’re breaking you in gently with this one! The lyrics are about something I’ve always dreamed of – when I die, I want to be strapped to a rocket and blasted off into space as my family and friends watch. We’re middle-aged men now, so maybe death is on our minds a bit more.”
