Gallows to begin recording full length next week

Contributed by alex101. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 12:00 PM (EDT)

UK-based hardcore outfit Gallows will begin recording their third full length and first with Canadian vocalist Wade MacNeil, formerly of Alexisonfire. The band released a Wade's debut - the Death is Birth EP - late last year. The band will begin recording their next full length after April 23rd. They said this:

Work on Gallows album number 3 starts officially in a week. Very excited to bring you new music and get touring everywhere again.

Though this is MacNeil's first album with the band, they released 2007's Orchestra of Wolves and 2009's Grey Britain to significant hype before being dropped from their major label after a big advance which saw people drawing comparisons to the Sex Pistols' famous "rock and roll swindle."

The band's original vocalist, Frank Carter, had harsh words for his former bandmates calling the band a "benign dictatorship and a fucking mess."

This is great.

I'm pretty excited for this. I liked Death is Birth, and I think the more aggressive style suits them well.

On the other hand, Frank Carter debuted his new band recently and...not for me.

They sound better without an English accent.

However, good that does not make them.

I already prefer Frank's new band to Gallows.

New Gallows is super generic. Could be any throw away band playing Sound and Fury/United Blood/This Is Hardcore/etc

I'm still not convinced the "benign dictatorship" comment was meant with malice. Group dynamics are complex things, and often this kind of thing can develop with nobody being at fault. If he meant it as a criticism of them as individuals, he wouldn't have called it benign.

i'm a little confused by the "formerly of Alexionfire" mention. As far as I knew, they were technically still a band, just each member has one or more side projects. Their last release was only three years ago which is not unusual as bands go.

I'm a little confused as to how you could've missed the whole, very public announcement of the end. Dude who's trying to be Nick Drake was set to leave and the fat one joined "a big band", so beardmuppet vocalist cried in a blog about how he couldn't to replace both members.

willowrain (April 19, 2012)

i'm incredibly confused how i missed it, too!

PS: "Beardmuppet Vocalist" has actually released some excellent stuff with a couple side bands. He should lean into it full-time if AOF is no longer around.
