HAIL OF BULLETS Drummer: 'We Have Enough Material To Fill Two Albums'

November 29, 2007

HAIL OF BULLETS, the new band featuring GOREFEST drummer Ed Warby, THANATOS guitarists Stephan Gebédi and Paul Baayens, former PESTILENCE/ASPHYX singer Martin Van Drunen and former HOUWITSER bass player Theo van Eekelen, will enter Excess studios in Rotterdam, Holland in February 2008 to begin recording its debut album for a May release via Metal Blade Records. "Although we have enough material to fill two albums, we're still writing new stuff," says Warby. "So far we all agree on eight tracks, and since we're going for a 10-track album, we still need to decide on the final two. This week I had planned to finish one of two likely candidates, but ended up writing a brand new song that everyone seems to like. It's a heavy fucker (well, yeah, they all are),with a tank-like groove that segues into a pummeling 'uffta' spectacle. Odds are pretty good you'll be finding this one on our upcoming full-length. If time allows, me and Paul will get together before the end of the year to arrange one of his songs into a grand dramatic finale, and then I'll start preparing ProTools sessions for the recordings."

HAIL OF BULLETS was formed in late 2006 through a mutual love for old-school death metal bands like AUTOPSY, BOLT THROWER, MASSACRE, CELTIC FROST and DEATH. In the summer of 2007, the band entered a Rotterdam studio to record a four-song promotional CD, which was mixed by the infamous death metal guru Dan Swanö in Sweden. Swanö stated upon the CD's completion: "If this promo doesn't get you guys a good record deal, I will eat my laptop!"

The band is planning to promote the CD with a number of live appearances during the European summer festival season.

HAIL OF BULLETS' entire four-song promotional CD is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
