Editorial Reviews

A screaming blast from across the Atlantic, England's Gallows have arrived to remind us of punk's angry roots. Their debut, originally released in the UK in 2006, saw the band immediately heralded as saviors of the scene: "...the best British punk band since The Clash" - Kerrang! "...one of the finest displays of sneering, snotty attitude since The Sex Pistols" - Total Guitar. Gallows combine the founding fury of Black Flag and Minor Threat, blended with the melodic hardcore of Refused, and a brutally honest social vision, unflinchingly tackling topics such as hometown violence, date rape, and broken homes. The US version contains three bonus tracks. "They're anti-boredom, the antithesis of safe rock, the kind of band who actually matter" - NME. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour.

I love this album. Hardcore punk is really growing on me and these guys know what there doing. This is a must get

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2007

This is an awesome album. Its the most HARDCORE PUNK ROCK I have heard in a long time. The vocals are gritty, harsh and raw. The music is heavy and sounds dark but you can dance and/or mosh to it with ease. This the most exciting NEW BAND in ages. Gotta be in your top 5 albums of the year for sure. Theres only been a couple of awesome cd's to be released this year, this is one of em, New Maps Of Hell by Bad Religion is the other.

Artwork is cool as well but when you put the cd in and hit play, crank it up real loud...its perfect driving music as well.

The 3 bonus tracks are awesome as well. On the last one Nervous Breakdown theres actually two songs on the track seperated by a LONG silence. So really theres 16 tracks.

This music has meaning as well especially the title track...its about Casanova...if you've done your history lessons you will know who he is and get some idea of what the song is about. The most meaningful line comes from the end of that song as well.

The Hardest Thing You'll Ever Learn Is Just To Love And Be Loved In Return
(Its sung with such intensity and passion that makes you appreciate Gallows that much more)

Orchetra of wolves is a good music record, despite the nu metal influences. They're(the band)young but succeeded to combine very well the contemporary style of heavy music with the roots of rock.

The most important rock/punk album for many years!

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2007

Gallows are a hardcore band from Watford, UK who only formed in 2005, and their debut 'Orchestra Of Wolves' is a breath of fresh air. A stunning album with such classics as the title track & 'In The Belly Of A Shark'. The most important rock/punk album for many years, which has breathed new life into the genre. Get the 2 disc edition as there are 6 stunning live in session tracks & 4 studio tracks including the AWESOME Black Heart Queen & a hidden track - a cover of the Ruts 'Staring At The Rude Boys'. If you like your music loud with lots of energy, then this is the album for you. BUY IT NOW!

you put it on and you begin to move, then you move faster, until you covered in sweat. you brain will be in its perfect state of pleasure. deep, deep down and dirty rock and roll. this has got to be in your 2007 top 5 list. hard and honest- a junior to iggy. keep on doing the music honest and deep down gritty, and you will have one hell of a long rock career.

So I saw this band at Warped Tour last year 'cause I was with a friend who liked them and wanted to see them. Their fans sucked 'cause they were all thrash dancers, but overall I really liked what I was hearing and a few weeks later I bought this CD.

Overall, it's pretty good, a little hit or miss, but overall a solid listen and a good blend of the "real punk" that everyone keeps advocating for, and the "hardcore/emo/whatever" that is really big in the scene today. I'm not gonna label these guys as anything but "music" and as for music, it's not half bad.

The guitarists are very talented, both six string players stand out on many of the tracks and occasionally they stand back and give the bassist a little room on songs like "Belly of a Shark." They play riffs that are very catchy and at times very unpredictable, like nothing that I've ever heard before (Not in a stunning, "never heard anything like it" but more just that they are very different) Frank's vocals are really cool because we have the hardcore screaming factor mixing with the English accent, making it a sound that is seldom heard in the business. It's fun to listen to to say the least.

Only issue I have hear is that the middle of the CD drags on a little. The first four tracks will basically punch you in the face with the sound of hardcore aggression, but then the CD steps back and mellows out a little with tracks like "Six Years" Ultimately I don't even remember what's on the CD between tracks 10 and 11 because those two songs were so forgetable. The mellow tracks aren't so bad it's just that you have to be in a good mood to listen to them. The CD ends strong with the croud pleasing title track, a raunchy song about womanizing, along with "Sick of Feeling Sick" and the Black Flag cover.

Overall, this album is a little out there, so definitely download it first and then see if it's worth your hard earned cash. For me it was but that's 'cause I'm into that sort of thing.

The British have proved once again that they can match screaming American music. The songs are great for moshing (haha) and have great meaning to them. My personal favorite song is Orchestra of Wolves becasue of the Moulin Rouge reference. I was excited to get this album and was far from disappointed. All in all, a fantastic album for any hardcore rock fan.

Hammer Platte

Eine wirklich gute Hardcore Platte, wobei die Gitarren und die Musik von Gallows schon eher in die Rock Richtung gehen. Kein Geschnörksel, ohne Umschweife direkt in die Kauleiste. Gallows ist definitiv eine meiner Lieblingsbands, man könnte sagen, der (damalige) Sänger Frank Carter vermittelt Frust, Enttäuschung und Wut in Musikform. Ich kenne fast keine andere Band, die das in der Form SO drauf hat. Letztens hab ich die Band übrigens mit dem neuen Sänger (ehem. Alexisonfire, glaub ich) LIVE gesehen. War genauso ein Brett.

I don't normally listen to shouty hardcore music, I quite like the more intellegent socialy responsible end of the punk spectrum, it turns out I have something in my DNA that makes me want to test the structural stability of my house and the patience of my neighbors playing the incredible Gallows album F****** loud, It's a bit scary but it's also realy genuine and positive. If you want another reason to respect Gallows other than this great album watch their videos on youtube and myspace or if you can take the exitement see them live (I'll probably be in bed). I think this band are going to be BIG and that's because they have worked hard and are focused on what they do. Consequently this album is F**(sorry it's infectious)Great and deserves a big five stars plus another five for the extra disc which unlike most bands bonus material is equally brilliant and definately essential for your neighbors enjoyment

I love Orchestra Of Wolves!! I'm a middle-aged woman and I love the boundless energy. I love the fact that these guys are from Watford and in true punk tradition the sheer boredom of growing up in a small place is translated to produce a entire CD that puts fire in your belly. Not name dropping but I met Frank and he kindly said he'd put me on the guest list for a show if I went back to see him nearer the time. Oh how I regret that i didn't go back or see the show because he left the band shortly afterwards. I'm an idiot . But what a bloody nice guy !!!!! Abandon Ship is is my favourite track.......In the belly of the shark is great!! But love all the tracks.
