Untouchable Glory is the fifth studio album by Irish thrash metal band Gama Bomb. It was released internationally on October 30, 2015 via AFM Records.[1]
Recording and release
Untouchable Glory was recorded in Dublin and Omeath, Ireland & Suffolk, England over spring/summer 2015, with Scott Atkins producing.[2] The first song taken from the album 'Ninja Untouchables / Untouchable Glory' was released on September 25, 2015 with an accompanying music video.[3] This was followed by a second single for the track 'She Thing' on October 16.[4]
Artwork
The album cover was painted by Graham Humphreys, who had previously worked on the band's 2013 release The Terror Tapes and cover design and inlay artwork was created by long term designer Rory McGuigan.[5] Lead singer Philly Byrne explained the concept behind the cover, saying "The theme behind this album, loosely, is exploitation cinema... the concept of the album cover being a retro movie poster. Graham Humphreys - his mainstay as an artist is recreating that vintage movie poster style for re-released classic movies. He's a portrait artist really, so we wanted to capitalise on that. Just as importantly, the sleeve and inlay was designed by Rory McGuigan. He created a separate movie poster for each track that's completely authentic to a different time, place and niche of exploitation cinema."[6]
