GALLHAMMER - Ruin Of A Church DVD Due Out Soon
March 2, 2008, 16 years ago
March 3rd sees the vinyl release of Ill Innocence, the latest album by Japan's queens of blackened punk, GALLHAMMER. The vinyl will come as a double-vinyl gatefold release to a strictly limited edition. Order now from www.peaceville.com, or alternatively the LPs will be available from the band if you are planning to come to their gigs in the UK and Norway.
Although Gallhammer had been known primarily as a black metal/punk act, the album is impressively diverse, showing their implementation of many influences and moods from both metal and non-metal genres. The themes are based around isolation, oppression, a world without colour.
Gallhammer will also embark upon a tour of the UK in March to coincide with the LP release, ending with a trip to Norway to appear at the prestigious Inferno festival, where the band headlines the Garage stage.

The audio mix and production has been executed by Justin Broadrick (NAPALM DEATH, GODFLESH, JESU).
