Oh, it’s complicated.
In fact, everything about this band is complicated. But have no fear - we’ll break it down for you.
Let’s start with the fact that Alpha Galates, up until recently were called The Hollow. Matthew Wagner, Karen Wagner and Todd Lefever formed The Hollow in 2001. The band has been based in Toronto for six years and have been a committed touring act for much of that time. They released three independently-produced albums through the Swarm Theory Music label: Natio in 2002, and Vita and ab Gehenna in 2004. ab Gehenna was a digital-only release. Another album, Obitus, was due out in 2006, but was released on iTunes only.
Original live drummer Colin Snortland (aka Nilock Lang) left, and singer/guitarist Matthew Wagner moved to drums. Rowan MacPhail and Harmony came on board and the band changed its name to…Alpha Galates?.
“First Gauls is the literal translation,” explains Wagner. “It all ties into the Priory of Zion stuff, and apparently it’s real. I saw it in a book called Rule By Secrecy and I just liked the name.

MikeDoyle I miss these guys...saw them twice (with 3, Tub Ring) in London and thought they were a fucking CLUTCH proggy hard rock band. Still love this album - hope they come back and go at it again. Unique combination of song writing and structures that can be replayed for months.

BenOnUserstyles Reminds me of Three Days Grace

Goryo "This is too mainstream", "this is too alternative" and "the tags say it's [...] but it doesn't sound like [...] to me" are 3 of the worst and weakest arguments ever, and someone just used them in one sentence to describe why he doesn't like this band.
