Gallows, a band from England, have dethroned Manowar as the official “loudest band in the world.” Kerrang! has the story here. The best quote in the piece is from guitarist Laurent Barnard: “I am louder than Manowar. That’s all I care about!”While it might seem odd that a button downed-looking guy could be louder than the metal gods that are Manowar, there is good news. We may never have to see this picture again.
