"WOW these guys are good it is like 1985 or 86 and thrash was in full swing this stuff will give early Anthrax or Death Angel a run for their money and these guys are way young too so wait till they have 10 years and 4 or 5 albums under their bullet belts
watch out for these guys Smokin Hot Riffs indeed
this stuff would compete with anything done 20 years ago"

"Crap this is good stuff. Not entirely original, like another reviewer said - they sound ALOT like early Anthrax. But that aint a bad thing. Songs are well produced and played with excellant musicianship.
Lots of humor, especially with songs like Zombie Blood Nightmare and Sentenced to Thrash and Bullet Belt. This is great speed metal/thrash!
If you love Anthrax, Death Angel, Slayer, Testament or Overkill, you'll love Gama Bomb!"

"Contains a spirit and humour that reminds me of old Anthrax. This album is pure fun and great rock and roll."
Good but not original

"Of we were to listen to this in the late 80s and beginning of 90s, this would be an average thrash album. But in 2008, this is something to be talked on as there are not a lot of bands into this stuff.
Production is very clear. You can hear everything very clearly. A lot of double bass drumming with fast tempos. The art work is great actually. Comic style.
This is not crossover like SSS and Municipal Waste. On the other hand they have a humor like the latter. In terms of sound, it is more within the lines of Evile and Bonded by Blood - though both bands' first offerings are better than this I must say. It is not dark, rather a happy version of thrash. I think this is why people are comparing them with the early days of Anthrax.
There's a special edition w/ DVD. They talk a lot in the DVD and there are few live performances. Nothing special, only for collectors."
