Biography

(2006 – present)

HAIL OF BULLETS were formed at the end of 2006 when guitarist Stephan Gebédi approached singer Martin van Drunen, drummer Ed Warby, bass player Theo van Eekelen and guitarist Paul Baayens with the idea to join forces in an old school death metal band. The band members already knew each other from their previous and present bands like Asphyx, Gorefest, Thanatos, Pestilence and Houwitser. A serious drinking and thinking session followed and the plans for the band’s musical direction were laid down that night. From the start it was crystal clear there was a mutual love for true death metal bands like Autopsy, Massacre, Bolt Thrower, early Death as well as Celtic Frost.

The metal started flowing and within a couple of months they already had enough material written for a full length album. In July 2007 the band decided to record four songs for a promo CD. Swedish death metal guru Dan Swanö produced the four songs at his Unisound Studios and the result turned out pretty monstrous.

Metal Blade Records didn’t hesitate to sign the band and HAIL OF BULLETS’ debut album ‘…Of Frost And War’ was released in May 2008. Apart from the thundering drums, scorching guitars and tormented vocals, the lyrical concept about the battles at the Eastern front during World War II made the album’s impact even bigger. The reactions of the press and fans were amazing and the band played countless festival dates and club shows all over Europe.

    It's not important if Asphyx is better than Hail of Bullets or vice versa. Both bands are fucking great.

    dunno... Death The Brutal Way was definitely better than Of Frost and War... but On Divine Winds is as good as DeathHammer, maybe even better... very hard to say :D

    @K696. Bloodbath is massively overrated and in my oppinion they're just a gateway Death metal band. Id take Hail of Bullets monsterous mid-pace deathfest any day over Akerfeldt and the mashed potato's.
