Earache Records reports:

Quick-witted Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are gearing up for the start of their Thrashing Like A Maniac European Tour next week with LA shredders BONDED BY BLOOD and new additions SWORN AMONGST, and have decided to offer something back to the fans who come to the shows: redemption.

Singer Philly Byrne explains: "The right to listen to neck-snapping turbo-charged metal is under threat. Gloomy, posey, idiotic metal stands between us and true enjoyment of thrash. We're all guilty of having bought some rubbish, not-quite-up-to-the-mark "metal" records at some point in our lives, but it's time to root out those embarrassing t-shirts and albums and posters - because Gama Bomb are offering YOU a chance to wipe the slate clean."

Starting at their first show on September 12th in Germany and running through each and every stop of the 10,000-mile, eleven-country tour, Gama Bomb invite and encourage you to bring along the worst of your music collections - the embarrassing, the awkward and the downright rubbish CDs, records and merchandise hidden amongst your better purchases - and to collect them together so both you and Gama Bomb can do what should have been done long ago - ritually shred, stamp and smash the living hell out of them!

With the Thrashing Like A Maniac tour drawing ever-nearer, it's time to confess your sins! Grab your LINKIN PARK, LIMP BIZKIT and ORGY albums, and any other nu-metal, emo or "inferior" metal you have stashed away and bring them out to the Thrashing Like A Maniac European tour with Gama Bomb, Bonded By Blood and Sworn Amongst, whereupon they will be ceremoniously smashed, stamped on, frisbee'd and generally destroyed as part of the set, live onstage.

To start the bandwagon rolling on the Stamp Out Inferior Metal campaign, Earache Records will make a very special donation of 1,000 copies of Planets by ADEMA to this worthy cause!
