Georgia doom trio Negative Wall prepares to release their
debut album “Gammagelu” tomorrow
Feb 8th 2019. Formed just last year by seasoned metal stalwarts Tommy
Stewart (bass/vocals), Don Cole (guitar), and Dennis Reid (drums), the band
recorded “Gammagelu” in
seven days following only seven rehearsals. The album, whose title is
Latin for "Frost of Gamma," features three sci-fi themed
originals and a cover of Electric Wizard's "Torquemada 71."
“Gammagelu” takes place
in a bleak outer space setting where things can go terribly wrong. "Hybrid Genus Serpentis” tells the
bizarre story of a reptilian being who forces himself on a space traveller only
to be imprisoned in a capsule by the product of that union, keeping him
confined until he is the only living being left in the universe. “Mater Saeva Kp22” (which translates to
“The Cruel Mother”), is a
reimagining of an old Celtic folk song with a new plot about matricide on an
alien planet. "Imperii
Excules" (“Exiled Imperials”)
is inspired by an episode of 1960s sci-fi show The Outer Limits where an alien
race attempts to start a penal colony on Earth -- with grotesque results.
And as for the Electric Wizard cover, band leader Stewart
said, " While not sci-fi, it stylistically fits and is simply a
band favorite."
Stewart produced and recorded “Gammagelu” at Blue Ogre Noise Lab in Smyrna, Georgia. The album will be released via Black Doomba Records on digital and CD formats, as well as a special edition three-color numbered vinyl.
