Artist: Gacys Threads
Title: Savour Your Scars
Type: EP
Label: Self Released

Introducing Gacys Threads; no, it’s not some new, hip clothing range that will make you look like a serial killer. Gacys Threads are Irelands newest export in the metal department and if your idea of music constitutes some big fucking bloke shouting down a mic surrounded by arm-swinging, tight-t-shirt wearing goons then this one is probably for you!

Yes, Gacys Threads have their crowd already cut out for them and if metalcore just isn’t your bag then you’ll probably run a mile after ten seconds on their MySpace. As far as this style of metal goes they don’t do a bad job it has to be said. They have that crushingly heavy wall of sound that even brings a touch of death to the table, while the guitars lay down a serious dosage of chug and there is a general blunt hardcore application to the sound on ‘Savour Your Scars.’

The band break things up with some nice clean guitar lines on ‘Hate Them, Hate Us’ and I will say they incorporate some atmospheric touches that work much better then similar bands of their ilk who too often mistake melody for whininess. Similarly there’s a slick transition from ‘Nothing Personal’ to ‘Nothing Sacred’ while later in the track some clean guitars come and haunt the mix adding a tinge of melancholy. All in all a well crafted EP and while not the best thing this side of Killswitch this shows the band have more to offer than your average one-trick metalcore mob.

We are proud to announce that we are now endorsed by the lovely folk at Knee Deep Clothing England.

We love the DIY feel to the clothing and of course the designs themselves. So expect to see us decked out in this bling soon. We’ll be promoting the clothing label at our shows to give Knee Deep as much exposure over here in Ireland as possible.
