GAMA BOMB POST TOUR REPORT

For the past few weeks, Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have been making their way
across Europe on the THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC tour with LA shredders BONDED
BY BLOOD and UK support act SWORN AMONGST, spreading the good word of thrash
wherever they go.

The band comments on the tour so far: "So here we are, two weeks into our
five-week European tour. We've already come so far and done so much we
can't do it justice in a simple, mortal blog, but here goes: we started in
Berlin, where we accidentally played to a neo-Nazi biker gang, then we wound
through Europe, finding ourselves in the Italian wilderness, high in the
Alps and sweltering at the far end of Portugal along the way. It's been
very, very hot so far, but we're now encountering a cooler, Northern
European leg of the tour."

Along with a night of face-melting thrash, GAMA BOMB are offering something
else to the fans who attend the shows: redemption. If you haven't already
heard, GAMA BOMB recently announced their STAMP OUT INFERIOR METAL campaign!
At each show of the 10,000-mile, eleven-country THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC
European 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 already well underway, 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, 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 have made a very special donation of 1,000 copies of
"PLANETS" by ADEMA to this worthy cause!
