Gama Bomb Release Second Single From New Album

"I love songs with lots of 'room' in them - riffs that allow you to sing and have melodic ideas, without getting in the way, like classic Judas Priest songs. That's the principle behind Sheer Khan: it's a very different beast to our usual thrash, much more mid-paced and moody with a hard rock sound. It has post-apocalyptic lyrics inspired by movies like Mad Max and Bronx Warriors, mixed with a sort of Whitesnake vibe about dangerous women on the prowl. It's my go at being a 'Dimestore Dio', and it's great fun."

"The riff for this song came about in a strange manner: I was reading about the Marchioness of Londonderry, who died after jumping from Clifton Suspension Bridge in England. She was the wife of the singer Georgie Fame, so I ended up listening to his hit 'Yeh Yeh' a lot. Sheer Khan is a sort-of Countdown to Extinction take on that Georgie Fame lick, but done in a sort of Running Wild, nowadays-Saxon manner.  Me and Philly had been wanting to do a track in this style and tempo, so excelsior to you, Georgie!"
