GAMA BOMB Singer Recovering After Vocal-Cord Surgery

March 27, 2012

After suffering from voice problems for a few months, singer Philip "Philly" Byrne of Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB underwent an operation to have a problem with his vocal cords corrected. According to his bandmates, "[Philly is] now on the mend, but won't be able to join the band onstage at their festival show at Headbanging Enschede next weekend. Joe [McGuigan; bass, vocals] will step in and fill vocal duties for the gig while Philly recuperates. We hope you'll join us in wishing him a speedy recovery, and that his penis grows back."

GAMA BOMB decided to break the mold in 2009 when it released its new album, "Tales From The Grave In Space", online as a free download. Following many requests from fans for a physical release, "Tales From The Grave In Space" was made available on CD and vinyl in January 2010.

"Tales From The Grave In Space" was released on limited-edition vinyl in black (only 700 made) and ultra-limited edition green (only 300 made),as well as on CD. The limited edition CD version of the album also comes with an exclusive bonus EP, titled "Half Cut", which includes five brand new, extra tracks.
