Gallows start work on new album, launch record label

Gallows have confirmed work on their as-yet-untitled third album is now underway.

The follow-up to 2009’s ‘Grey Britain’ is pencilled in for release in September, and will be their first with new frontman Wade MacNeil, who joined in the wake of Frank Carter‘s departure last year.

The band have also revealed the album will be released via their own record label in partnership with PIAS Recordings. According to the band, Venn Records has been launched in the wake of trudging ‘step by step through the dark sewers of music industry’ for seven years.

“For the last seven years we have trudged step by step through the dark sewers of music industry,” they said. “Shaking hands with snakes and signing contracts drafted by thieves with perfect teeth. We are happy to announce that we have become part of the problem. All hail Venn Records.”

Gallows have a series of festival appearances due this year, including appearances at Reading/Leeds, Bestival and Download.
