Former ROB ZOMBIE Bassist And Current MARILYN MANSON Guitarist PIGGY D. Launches New Project GABI & THE FLY

GABI & THE FLY, the heavy metal project led by Calgary, Alberta, Canada vocalist Gabriella Lindland and Matt "Piggy D." Montgomery (former ROB ZOMBIE bassist, current MARILYN MANSON guitarist),has released its debut five-song demo, "Initiation Of Decay", exclusively on Bandcamp. A video for the song "Devil's Chain" can now be viewed below.

Montgomery is widely recognized for his 18-year run as bassist for ROB ZOMBIE, as well as his work with WEDNESDAY 13, AMEN, ALICE COOPER, THE HAXANS and MARILYN MANSON. Together, he and Gabriella push into heavier territory, drawing from sludge, grind, industrial metal, and extreme music influences to create a sound rooted in aggression and atmosphere.

GABI & THE FLY brings together Lindland's roots in Calgary's underground heavy scene with Montgomery's decades-long career in horror-driven rock and metal. Before launching the project, Lindland performed in numerous local bands spanning sludge metal, crust punk, and grind, developing a vocal style defined by force, intensity, and raw physical presence.

In addition to the digital release, fans will have access to a strictly limited pressing of 100 CDs available as part of an exclusive merch bundle while supplies last.

GABI & THE FLY fuses the raw aggression of underground extreme music with the experience and precision of veteran heavy musicianship. "Initiation Of Decay" serves as the first glimpse into the band's emerging sound as they continue work on their forthcoming debut full-length album.

"Initiation Of Decay" track listing:

01. Lust For Violence
02. I Feel Your Shadow
03. Sacred Heart
04. Devil's Chain
05. World Of Hate
