ALPHA GALATES GET BRUCE DICKINSON’S VOTE!
CANADA’S LATEST PROGRESSIVE METAL EXPORT EARNS ACCOLADES FROM LEGENDARY IRON MAIDEN FRONTMAN DURING BBC RADIO 6 “ROCK SHOW” RECORDING
“Tool fans, pick up your ears…Alpha Galates’ A Stimulus For Reason is a real eye and ear opener!” - Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden
The latest progressive metal act to explode out of the burgeoning Canadian music scene, Toronto’s Alpha Galates show no signs of slowing down on the eve of the release of the band’s crushing debut album “A Stimulus For Reason” (February 19th/EMI Music Canada).
And now, the fierce prog-metal 5-piece – led by singer/drummer Matthew Von Wagner and borne from the ashes of The Hollow (as they were known in their native Calgary before re-locating to Toronto and adopting a new moniker) – have yet another notch to add to their collective belt…a nod from one of the undisputed legends of heavy metal, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
“Tool fans, pick up your ears…A Stimulus For Reason is a real eye and ear opener!” commented Dickinson recently during a pre-recorded taping of his weekly “Rock Show” program on BBC Radio 6. Dickinson went on to talk about the band for several minutes before premiering ‘2 Months In’ from Alpha Galates’ upcoming debut.
Dickinson’s comments couldn’t have come at a more fitting time for the band, after a glowing review in this month’s BangBang Magazine (on newsstands now) hailed the band “the illegitimate children of Iron Maiden”. Dickinson’s reference to Tool is also particularly fitting as Alpha Galates enlisted the help of Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age) to mix “A Stimulus For Reason”.
Stay tuned for more Alpha Galates news as they continue to take the metal world by storm!
In the meantime, check out a kick-ass 15-second teaser for “A Stimulus For Reason” here!
