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!" http://www.i-voidhanger.com/john_gallow_violet_dreams_cd.htm" rel="nofollow - http://www.i-voidhanger.com/john_gallow_violet_dreams_cd.htm
