Hail Of Bullets ... Of Frost And War

Members from some of the Netherlands' most important death metal bands, namely Asphyx, Pestilence, Gorefest, Thanatos
among others, have joined forces to form HAIL OF BULLETS, a staggering old-school death metal band
that offers uncompromising molten metal mayhem on their ambitious debut "Of Frost and War".
Based around vocalist Martin van Drunen's ideas, the album is a conceptual piece of work
revolving around WW2, particularly the eastern front. All stracks (Look tracklist) address the theme of war,
painting a bleak picture of destruction a la Bolt Thrower during their heyday.
This being a nod to the masters of old-school death metal, most of the songs are intentionally devoid of melodic patterns
and see the band proceeding through mid-tempo to faster musical terrains. Melody is only offered at key points,
in order to provide contrast to the bleak, relentlessly heavy death metal aesthetic.
Combined with van Drunen's dry, tortured growl and and Theo van Eekelen's rumbling bass,
the tracks immediately stand out due to their epic arrangement, thick guitar layering and overall feel.
Fans of Autopsy, Death, Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost, and Obituary are advised to check it out.
This is the TRUE soundtrack to war and destruction!!!
