Marilyn Manson guitarist Matt Piggy D. Montgomery launches Gabi & The Fly

marilyn manson guitarist Matt “Piggy D.” Montgomery has launched Gabi & The Fly with Calgary vocalist Gabriella Lindland, and the heavy metal project will issue its debut five-song demo, Initiation Of Decay, on May 15th. For listeners who track where veteran players go next, the release gives this new unit an immediate entry point instead of a slow-burn rollout.

Initiation Of Decay on Bandcamp

The demo will arrive exclusively on Bandcamp, with a video for the demo of “Devil’s Chain” included on the same date. That puts the first listen and the first visual from the band on the same release day, a clean launch strategy for a project still defining its audience.

The package is not digital only. Fans will also have access to a strictly limited pressing of 100 CDs, offered as part of an exclusive merch bundle while supplies last.

Montgomery's next heavy-music move

Montgomery comes to the project after an 18-year run as bassist for Rob Zombie and his work with Marilyn Manson, which gives Gabi & The Fly an immediate profile inside heavy music rather than a ground-up local start. Lindland brings the Calgary side of the partnership, and the pairing puts a veteran player alongside a vocalist whose earlier work spans local bands in sludge metal, crust punk, and grind.

“Initiation Of Decay” is described as the first glimpse into the band’s emerging sound, and that matters because the project is already moving toward a debut full-length album. The short demo is doing two jobs at once: introducing the name and testing the lane before the longer record takes shape.

Devil’s Chain and the full-length

The real near-term takeaway is simple. May 15th is the date to watch, and the limited 100-CD run means the physical edition will likely disappear faster than the digital release. If the demo lands cleanly, the band has already signaled that work continues on its forthcoming debut full-length album.
