Gama Bomb release new song ‘Sheer Khan’

GAMA BOMB have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Sheer Khan, is taken from the Irish trash metal band’s upcoming new album, Sea Savage, which is scheduled to be released in December this year.

Speaking of the new song, vocalist Philly Byrne says, “I love songs with lots of ‘room’ in them – riffs that allow you to sing and have melodic ideas, without getting in the way, like classic JUDAS PRIEST songs. That’s the principle behind Sheer Khan: it’s a very different beast to our usual thrash, much more mid-paced and moody with a hard rock sound. It has post-apocalyptic lyrics inspired by movies like Mad Max and Bronx Warriors, mixed with a sort of WHITESNAKE vibe about dangerous women on the prowl. It’s my go at being a Dimestore Dio, and it’s great fun.”

Bassist Joe McGuigan adds, “the riff for this song came about in a strange manner: I was reading about the Marchioness of Londonderry, who died after jumping from Clifton Suspension Bridge in England. She was the wife of the singer Georgie Fame, so I ended up listening to his hit Yeh Yeh a lot. Sheer Khan is a sort-of Countdown to Extinction take on that Georgie Fame lick, but done in a sort of RUNNING WILD, nowadays-SAXON manner. Me and Philly had been wanting to do a track in this style and tempo, so excelsior to you, Georgie!”
