text: # Desolation Sounds
  
  Desolation Sounds is the fourth album by English hardcore punk band Gallows and the second full-length to feature vocalist Wade MacNeil, who replaced original frontman Frank Carter in August 2011.
  
  The album is a departure from Gallows' fast-paced hardcore punk style, incorporating more post-punk and gothic rock influences.
