Grey Gallows is a dark wave group based in Patra (Greece).
Their influences can be found in the broadest spectrum of 80s dark music.
Thus, their lyrics deal with issues from inner struggle to the healing through dark emotions.
Grey Gallows was formed in the winter of 2016 and consist of:
Konstantin (Vocals / Keys) & Dionisis (Guitar / Bass / Keys)
"Strangers" is the fourth full-length album by Grey Gallows in which they have found the artistic freedom and the support to fulfill their musical pursuit.
Having experimented with both hardware and software analogue synths, aimed to enrich its style sonically and synthetically, incorporating more electronic elements than in their previous albums.
Κeystone of the album is Konstantin’s baritone voice and the distinctive guitar sound of Dionisis. Moreover, the participation of two of the most important female singers in the broader dark sound of the scene in Greece and abroad, Kriistal Ann (Paradox Obscur) and Irini Tiniakou (Incirrina), has given the group a deeper expressive ability to approach different musical styles and feelings.
Furthermore, the contribution of sound designer Nick "The Mute" Chaldoupis, with whom Grey Gallows have also collaborated on "Garden of lies", in the mixing and production of the album is of high importance, as he works once again as the 3rd member of the group, giving to the band its distinctive sound.
Thus, Grey Gallows have accomplished to create a "palette" of songs from darkwave to minimal synth and cold wave, always having at the core of their influences the sound of the 80s-90s with a modern approach.
Lyrically, the album deals with both experiential and fantastic narratives about the human psyche, love, pain, alienation and the redemption of the individual, concerning with social issues that plague the modern era.
And as Grey Gallows themselves say…
’’ …I'm calling out your name again
Come and take my pain…’’
