Hailing from the
colorful and music inspired streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota comes the unique
blend of Metal/Rock/Industrial that is Gabriel And The Apocalypse. The band
delivers a fierce yet beautiful array of female fronted aggression that will
give their predecessors a run for their money.
The brainchild of vocalist Lindy Gabriel, Gabriel and the Apocalypse independently put out 2 releases which were backed by numerous national support tours around the United States. Their intense and and professional style videos also paved the way for the group to become an underground sensation.
It was this self-produced success that led GATA to ink a deal with Pavement Entertainment to which they immediately began work on their new album "The Ghost Parade". This new release (available October 7, 2016) is sure to propel the band to new heights with major worldwide distribution and exposure. To kick off the album's release GATA will tour with horror rock favorite Wednesday 13 throughout the month of October. The group plans on a heavy and extensive touring cycle to follow.
According to Lindy, "The Ghost Parade" is a concept record that brings you on a music roller coaster ride. From in your face songs like "March of the Dolls" to stripped down emotional songs like" Behind the Sun", this record still maintains a taste of the usual GATA anthems on politics and world issues but as a whole it is more personal. I feel as a writer and lyricist it is more abstract & poetic. I feel more exposed and vulnerable. It's honest. It flows and twists through different waves and moods from beginning to end.
Creative, Original, Visual, Artistic, Strong……the definition of GABRIEL AND THE APOCALYPSE

Album Review By; Coren E. McLeod
Women that have balls
especially in the dog eat dog world of music makes for a stronger presence in
the industry. Gabriel And The Apocalypse
will be putting out a genuine, fine tune album called The Ghost Parade due Friday October 7th, 2016. The band hails from the city of Minneapolis
and goes beyond the typical stereotype of the Midwestern’s.
This album consists of
heavy self-proclaim songs that will touch a nerve with many out there. The gut wrenching chords along with oppressive
provoked vocals could make the strongest of men want to hug the person next to
them. Yet, Gabriel and The Apocalypse
still has an edge to them that almost reminds me of a love child born between
Otep and alternative favorite Pj Harvey.
The mesmerizing album
is laced with addicting, hard hitting melodies and a sound that is all
GATA. The self-titled song, “The Ghost
Parade” will haunt you at night with staggering story telling behind the
chilling lyrics. I love the daunting
almost tribal beats of the drums played throughout the entire song.
Track #6 “Beauty Under
Glass” literally had me at the very first note that was plucked. I love this track. I love it so much my ears were practically
bleeding with intensity. “Beauty Under
Glass” took one of my favorite genera’s of music and made it alive again. And in case you were wondering, I love the
industrial sound GATA brings. It can be
reminiscent of KMDFM meets NIN at a club and the two head bang the night
away. #JustSaying
“Behind The Sun” takes
a different turn and delivers an angelic side to the band. This track slows down to a point of almost
bringing on a meaningful tear streaming down one’s face. I love hearing how GATA can bring a different
aspect to their tough exterior and have their fans make a connection on another
level.
Overall, this is the
kind of music I want to hear more often.
A little emotion, a little guts and all ROCK!!!! GATA will be on tour starting this Friday,
October 7,2016 in Madison, WI. I may
have to get my ass out to The Red Zone to see this wonderful band live in
person…. Who will be coming with me????
#Cheers
