Gallows return on the 30th of this month with their new single ‘Chains‘.
“It’s been a quiet year so far for us all as we’ve been busy on new adventures and projects but when we got together in February it was shocking how quickly ideas were flowing,” explains guitarist Laurent Barnard.
Steph Carter, brother of the band’s former frontman Frank, announced his departure at the start of 2013. They now return with the single which is to be made available on digital and limited edition coloured 7” vinyl formats.
“The song ‘Chains’ came together really quickly,” states Barnard. “It started off with one riff and by the end of the day it was recorded. We did it all live too like we were making a garage punk record. My friend Helena who sings in a great band called Dios Mio happened to be in the studio that day so she came in and added some vocals and textures, which brought a very haunting element of the track. It’s very different but still very dark which is what Gallows is all about.”
