Album Description
Available in:
Grey Britain is the second album by English hardcore punk band, Gallows, released 2 May 2009 through Warner Bros. Records. It is their last album to feature lead singer Frank Carter, and their first with guitarist Steph Carter writing and recording. A second album by Gallows was first hinted by vocalist Frank Carter during an interview with NME, where he stated that because Gallows was "a hobby I get paid for," the band would likely be defunct by 2010. However, he confirmed that during this period, the band would record up to two additional albums.[citation needed] He later told Kerrang! that the claims regarding the band's imminent break-up were untrue.[citation needed]
In an interview with Kerrang!, it was revealed that Gallows' sophomore effort would feature guest appearances by Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil, and various members of Rolo Tomassi and Cancer Bats. In an interview at Sonisphere 2009, the brother of Frank Carter and vocalist of British hardcore band Blackhole, Richard Carter confirmed that he appeared on the track 'Black Eyes'. Guitarist Laurent Barnard confessed that the nearly finished album had left him "stoked."[citation needed]
In the March edition of Total Guitar, guitarists Steph Carter and Laurent Barnard noted that most of the keyboards had been stripped back and that the guitars were reminiscent of Black Sabbath's 1970s efforts. They also noted that the main goal when writing Grey Britain was to make it "the heaviest album they had ever heard."[citation needed]
In an interview with Rock Sound, Carter announced that Grey Britain would be 49 minutes of aggressive music and that signing a contract with a major label had not influenced the band to record a "poppy" or more "commercial" album.
On January 13, 2009, Carter revealed on BBC Radio 1 that the album would be released in early May 2009, after which the band will resume touring. On the following day, the band announced their second studio album would be titled Grey Britain, and that it has been produced by Garth Richardson. Carter recently explained the premise of the album to Kerrang!, saying, "Britain is fucked. Grey Britain is all about what's going on socially, politically and economically in the UK and how it affects us."
On March 1, 2009, it was announced that the first single from the album would be "The Vulture (Acts I & II)," to be released on April 27. The music video for "The Vulture (Act II)" had its world première on March 23, 2009.
Carter told Kerrang! that he wrote "Misery" when he was at his "lowest ebb."
