Finally it's time to doom , the first long awaited John Gallow's solo album is going to be released by the italian label " I, Voidhanger Records " ,. The release is sheduled for July 2014 ( CD in jewelcase. 16-page full color booklet with lyrics and liner notes)
The John Gallows's debut album introduction published on the label's site:
- JOHN GALLOW is the most recent alter ego of John Gallo of BLIZARO and ORODRUIN fame, undoubtedly one of the most talented ― and overlooked ― rock/metal artists of our times. Through this new doom incarnation, the singer/guitarist extraordinaire from Rochester, NY investigates the spiritual aspects of Death and the mysteries of the after-life, similarly to what was done in the past by Paul Chain, Black Hole, and other dwellers of the dark.
It's a solitary, introspective, and mostly improvised music voyage; the observation of an artist that has internalized the gloomy riffs and sorrowful atmospheres of doom, transforming them into mystic, bizarre, and abstract mindscapes.
"After years I am finally opening a new chapter in my doom journey," John Gallo commented. "Violet Dreams features 14 cuts of heavy riff madness. It's Black Hole, Paul Chain, and early Candlemass all in one cocoon!"
