''Tales from the Grave in Space'' is the third studio album by Irish thrash metal band Gama Bomb, and one of the first albums ever to be released as a free download by a signed band. In a partnership between the band and record label Earache Records, the album was available for free download from 5 November 2009, hosted by RapidShare. The album was physically released on January 25 in the UK and Europe and the US on March 8. == Artwork == The album cover was created by Jeff Jordan, known for his work with The Mars Volta. He took inspiration from classic pulp and sci-fi artists like Virgil Finlay, and the themes of 1950s horror comics like ''Tales from the Crypt''. It was then designed into an album cover by Rory McGuigan, who styled it after a Hammer Horror movie poster. The cover's concept was created by frontman Philly Byrne, based on the Lost Cosmonauts conspiracy theory. The cover of the album shows a skeletal cosmonaut, attached by living tentacles to a vast, abstract piece of masonry – the titular Grave – in space. Byrne described the artwork as a "sort of Doctor Who''-meets-Arthur C. Clarke' thing () an alien object that absorbs whatever it encounters."〔 The album's inlay was designed by Rory McGuigan, imitating the pre-Comics Code Authority horror and fantasy comics of the 1950s. ''Tales from the Grave in Space'' is dedicated to the memory of late Evile bassist Mike Alexander. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tales from the Grave in Space」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
