Gallows – Grey Britain (2-LP Vinyl)

Gallows were never a comfortable band, and Grey Britain was never a comfortable record. Released in 2009, this sprawling, furious document of post-financial-crisis England pushed UK hardcore far beyond its usual borders, folding in folk, post-rock, and orchestral darkness without ever losing the violence at its core. Frank Carter's larynx-shredding performances here remain some of the most viscerally committed vocals the British punk underground ever produced.
