Product Description
Album Description
Accolades from the likes of NME, Kerrang! Rock Sound and Metal
Hammer and much airplay from the Radio 1 Rock Show and Punk Show and the
XFM Rock Show herald the release of "Orchestra of Wolves". As a DIY
hardcore band, it was an interesting juxtaposition. But with their feet in
the underground and their eyes looking towards bigger things Gallows proved
themselves more than ready to make that leap. Others agreed and in January
2007 they became the smallest UK band to grace the cover of Kerrang! in
many years. Following a now legendary UK headline tour in March that
climaxed with a night of sheer chaos at the 100 Club. Includes the single
`Abandon Ship'.

About the Artist
The assent of Gallows has been both rapid and explosive. Formed in the conurbation town of Watford in early 2005, the quintet's members cut their teeth playing in various lauded local punk/hardcore bands before coming together to create what Kerrang! have called `the future of punk rock'. With a live performance that, in terms of sheer energy and passion, out-strips any band you care to mention, the band (Frank Carter (vocals), Steph Carter (guitars/vocals), Laurent Barnard (guitars/keys/vocals), Stuart Gili-Ross (bass) and Lee Barratt (drums) quickly built up a reputation as an incredible live act. By the close of 2006 Gallows were the most talked about band of the UK underground.

What can I say about this lot except they take hardcore punk rock and play it with such songwriting prowess and passion they should go all the way.
Imagine The Smiths were the heaviest punk band you could imagine and you are halfway there... Every scream is matched by a clever timing change and a deft moment of melodity. Perhaps most astonishing is the occasional moment of lyrical and aesthetic vulnerability in singer Frank's voice......
A classic debut that mixes nihilistic aggression with brilliant songwriting and structure, can't recommend it enough....

Finally a record that reveals some real pain and suffering!
These guys are playing the entire Warped Tour 2007! enough said?
This album has restored my faith in punk rock!
Best British Album I've heard since Million Dead's 2003 release - "A Song to Ruin"
I urge you to buy, they could certainly use the cash!

Review of the Gallow's Orchestra of Wolves CD
This is absolute rubbish, possibly one of the worst CD's I have ever heard. There is continous shouting and no 'free flow' of punk music. Read more

just ok
After all the hype I checked the album out. My first response was resignation. Resignation to the droll cliché of punk in 2007/8. Read more
