bcb723 Though owing some indebtedness to death doom OGs Sabbath, Cathedral and Paul Chain, "Violet Dreams" is a real psychedelic death trip. Great nighttime soundtrack for your thoughts to melt into - just stare into that album cover. Favorite track: Dark Traveller.

Alan79 Amazing album! Obscure and experimental. Metal dreamscapes with influences of Paul Chain and Black Sabbath. Favorite track: Maelstrom Of Consciousness.

anh1 1 of my favorite guitarists/writers ever. crazy cover art drew me. spirited me away to parts of my mind I didnt even know existed. the musicality in this is phenom, and has led to me go on to find his other amazing work. Such a well crafted work, with so much time and care being apparent. I always feel smthn crazy, like being transported thru some part of ancient history or some fantasmal psych-alien-cliff/waterfall scene over the sea haha. Has been/will remain a fav of mine, for the past 2 yrs Favorite track: Purple Room.

Fastnbulbous Gallo digs deep into his unique vision of doom that's rich with prog and psychedelia. Most likely titled in tribute to legendary Italian doom pioneer Paul Chain's Violet Theatre (the name under which he recorded some landmark releases from 1984-87), Violet Dreams is a massively ambitious undertaking. | fastnbulbous.com/new-albums-of-the-week-2014-08-05/ Favorite track: Wall Of Doom.

______________________

JOHN GALLOW is the most recent alter ego of John Gallo of BLIZARO and ORODRUIN fame, undoubtedly one of the most talented (and most overlooked) rock/metal artists of our times.
Through this new doom incarnation, the singer/guitarist extraordinaire from Rochester, NY investigates the spiritual aspects of Death and the mysteries of the after-life, similarly to what was done in the past by Paul Chain, Black Hole, and other dwellers of the dark.

It's a solitary and mostly improvised music voyage, the observation of an artist that has interiorised the gloomy riffs and nightmarish atmospheres of doom, transforming them into mystic and mysterious mindscapes.

"After years I am finally opening a new chapter in my doom journey," has commented Gallo. "Violet Dreams features 14 cuts of heavy riff madness. It's Black Hole, Paul Chain, and early Candlemass all in one cocoon!"
