Gallows are a British hardcore punk band known for their searing intensity and raw, confrontational music. Hailing from Watford, England, the group first burst onto the punk scene with their 2006 debut album "Orchestra of Wolves," which gained them instant acclaim for its ferocious sound and honest, aggressive lyrics. The release carved out a space for Gallows in the punk community, catching the attention of music fans and critics alike with its blend of old-school hardcore influence and modern, gritty realism.

With their sophomore album, "Grey Britain" (2009), Gallows continued to build on their reputation for unflinching social commentary, wrapped in a thick layer of powerful riffs and relentless energy. The band underwent a significant lineup change in 2011 when original frontman Frank Carter departed and was replaced by Wade MacNeil, formerly of Alexisonfire. This new incarnation of the band released "Death Is Birth" EP later that year, signaling a slightly new direction while maintaining their hardcore edge. The subsequent full-length albums, "Gallows" (2012) and "Desolation Sounds" (2015), solidified their status in the punk world, showcasing a band that remained true to their roots while exploring darker and more melodic avenues. Although the releases like "Chains/Wristslitter" and "Mondo Chaos" were less commercially celebrated than their earlier work, they still cemented Gallows' place as a relentless force in the punk genre.
