About Me

Gallactus started in 2001. Fueled by the riffs of Black Sabbath and songs about giant robots, deep sea tyrants and alien drug dealers, the New Brunswick four-piece have two releases and plan on releasing their third this year. Gallactus has shared the stage with bands such as Alexisonfire, Goat Horn, Rammer, Ion Dissonance, Misery Index, Neuraxis, Bucket Truck, Iron Giant, At The Mercy of Inspiration, and many other local acts.
Here's a review Metal Maniacs did for our last record Empire of the Eye.
GALACTUS 77 - Empire of the Eye Reviewed by Dave Brenner .
I know that most fans of this genre are going to pick up on the name with their "stoner radar" and check this one out on their own, and most others won..t give a rats ass, so i..ll keep it short and sweet. Stonerrock.com probably love these guys, they probably play with most of the Doom and Rock bands that come through town, and when they are not working or playing they are probobly partying. A concoction of rock and sludge inspired from the dirty south, Galactus 77 wil tickle of pretty much every fan of Earthride, Halfway to gone, Solace and Church Of Misery. Killer Fuzz-tone Bass, gravelly vocals (very in the vein of Dave Sherman of Earthride)lengthy sludge riffs and upbeat rock shifts, and you know this one is for the next trip boozin in the woods. Like McDonalds says, "I..m lovin it." Killer art from malleus (of Ufomammut) known for his psychadelic creations for stonerrock.com, Bongzilla, Nebula and other "stoner staples" this one is the full deal and well worth picking up!!
