ATP! Album Review: Gallows - S/T

Any band losing someone as notorious as Frank Carter is always likely to have their next release poured over with more scrutiny than ever before. Replacing the markedly English frontman with a Canadian, as Gallows have done with the recruitment of Wade MacNeil, was only ever going to raise more eyebrows amongst fans.

Let’s deal with the question on everyone’s lips straight away then, shall we? Far from attempting to fill Carter’s shoes, MacNeil brings his own snarling style and approach to Gallows. He sounds just as pissed, just as bilious, but brings a southern edge that adds a new dimension to the band. "Orchestra of Wolves" and "Grey Britain" were inherently English releases, bred from a typically British outlook at how the country was going to hell. Gallows’ self-titled third release is a much more transatlantic affair, adding touches of southern rock to their firebrand punk, and MacNeil’s role in this stylistic change is not to be understated. Carter may be gone, but he need not be missed.

Album Review: Gallows - Death Is Birth EP

Gallows return to the fold with a new EP, a new frontman in Wade MacNeil (formerly of Alexisonfire) and a return to their sometime residence at Thirty Days Of Night Records. The EP itself is four tracks of punk-infused hardcore that clocks in at just over seven minutes in total. It is hard to make a full judgement on the band’s new sound, but the difference in vocals and general swagger will undoubtedly be the main talking point of this release.

‘Mondo Chaos’ is a fantastic opening gambit by the band. It has the musical swagger of Gallows of old flavored with a new edge courtesy of the vocal delivery of MacNeil. Some fans will undoubtedly find it hard to get past the fact that he isn’t Frank Carter, but a little scratch at the surface will reveal the same aggression and similar bile-filled lyrics you’d expect from one of Britain’s most “hateful bands”. When MacNeil screams “Hey, you say F**k the world, I say it’s already f**ked”, you can’t help but think of tracks like ‘Misery’ from their back catalog. It’s a similar story for ‘Hate!Hate!Hate!’ and ‘Death Is Birth’ where the guitars of Barnard and Carter play off each other with furious intent.
