Editor's note

Gama Bomb, Ireland's thrash metal mainstays.

A Dundalk band named after a Japanese horror film, delivering high-speed metal since the late '90s.

For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Atomizer' or 'Skellington Crew'. They're exactly what you'd hope for from a band called Gama Bomb.

They've been a steady force in the Irish thrash scene since their 2003 debut 'Survival of the Sickest'. Songs like 'Atomizer' and 'Wrecking Ball' show their knack for tight, frantic riffs and horror-tinged themes. Their 2008 album 'Citizen Brain' even cracked the Irish charts, which isn't common for this kind of metal.

They formed in Dundalk in the late 1990s with Philly Byrne, Domo Dixon, Joe McGuigan, and Paul Caffrey. After Dixon left in 2014, guitarist John Roche joined, and that lineup has carried them through albums like 'The Terror Tapes' and 2020's 'Speed Between the Lines'.
