HAIL OF BULLETS: 'Of Frost And War' Preview Page Available

April 23, 2008

Metal Blade Records has set up a preview page on MySpace for the upcoming debut album from HAIL OF BULLETS, the new band featuring GOREFEST drummer Ed Warby, THANATOS guitarists Stephan Gebdi and Paul Baayens, former PESTILENCE/ASPHYX singer Martin Van Drunen and former HOUWITSER bass player Theo van Eekelen. Entitled "Of Frost And War", the CD is due in Europe on May 19 (except in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, where it will arrive three days earlier, and Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, where it will be released on March 13) via Metal Blade Records. The album was recorded in February/March of 2008 at Excess Studios in Rotterdam, Holland and was mixed and mastered in Sweden by Dan Swan of EDGE OF SANITY fame.

Comments drummer Ed Warby: "The soundtrack to all-out, total war is here! If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be run over by a 50 ton Tiger tank, now's your chance..."

"Of Frost And War" will be available as a limited first-edition digipak CD including a bonus track and special pop-up packaging. After this first edition is sold out, there will only be a regular jewelcase edition without the bonus track available, so be quick! The album will be released on vinyl, too.

HAIL OF BULLETS recently upgraded its deal with Metal Blade Records to include the rest of the world. Ed says, "We are proud to announce we'll be signing to Metal Blade Records for worldwide domination! This is great news for us since we're already part of Metal Blade's European roster, and we're stoked as hell to go global with the mighty Blade!"

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 Swan in Sweden. Swan stated upon the CD's completion: "If this promo doesn't get you guys a good record deal, I will eat my laptop!"
