‘Battle Scars‘ contains a mix of styles, including progressive rock and classic rock together with techno, ambient and dance sounds. “I guess the whole gamut are in there,” says vocalist and founding member Stuart Nicholson about the album’s variety of topics, “frustration, anger, disbelief, reflection, the acceptance of reality, fighting spirit against the odds, hope for the future, negativity, positivity and more besides.”
To celebrate Galahad’s 25 year plus history, a new version of their classic song “Sleepers” is included as a bonus track on the CD and download version. “I think the whole package works really well,” adds Stuart, “the monochrome graphics and images with the odd splash of red here and various pieces of pertinent imagery match the atmosphere of the music perfectly.”
The current lineup includes Stuart Nicholson on vocals, Roy Keyworth on guitars, Spenser Luckman on drums, Neil Pepper on bass, guitar & keyboards; Dean Baker on keyboards.
Galahad’s ‘Battle Scars‘ is available on CD, digital download and limited edition high quality 180gm vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve. The CD was recorded, engineered and mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold) at Thin Ice studios
“I hope you like what we have come up with, and if you know us well you’ll realize that we try and make each album different from the previous one, but still include certain Galahad traits,” says Stuart Nicholson.
