Gama Bomb is an Irish thrash metal band that has been shredding the scene since their formation in 2002. Known for their speedy riffs, irreverent humor, and love of all things retro, particularly from the 80s and 90s pop culture, Gama Bomb has established themselves as a prominent force within the thrash genre. The band consists of vocalist Philly Byrne, lead guitarist Domo Dixon, rhythm guitarist John Roche, bassist Joe McGuigan, and drummer Paul Caffrey. Their lyrical content often includes references to movies, zombies, ninjas, and other fun yet absurd storylines that match the intensity of their musical style.

Throughout their career, Gama Bomb has dropped a series of albums and singles that embrace both their knack for lightning-fast tracks and infectious choruses. Noteworthy releases include "Sea Savage" (2020), which sails the listener through a sea of monster-themed anthems and "Speed Between the Lines" (2018), showcasing their undiluted dedication to the thrash metal craft. The band's dedication to their roots is visible in tracks such as "Give Me Leather," which is an ode to the classic thrash aesthetic, while "Living for the Lockdown" reflects their playful response to contemporary events. Gama Bomb's relentless energy, engaging live performances, and refusal to take themselves too seriously have earned them a loyal following and a respected spot in the metal community.
