Van Drunen détaille le concept du nouvel album (les guerres Japon-USA) :

HAIL OF BULLETS — the Dutch death metal 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 — has set "On Divine Winds" as the title of its second full-length album, due in North America on October 12 via Metal Blade Records (one day earlier internationally). The group recorded 11 songs plus an intro for the CD, which, like its predecessor, was produced by Ed Warby was mixed by Swedish producer/multi-instrumentalist Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH, NIGHTINGALE).

HAIL OF BULLETS' debut album "…Of Frost And War" was a concept album about the Eastern front war of Germany. "On Divine Winds" is another concept effort, this time covering the Pacific battles between Japan and the USA.

Comments Van Drunen: "This time HAIL OF BULLETS takes on the Pacific War. The expansion of the Empire of Japan throughout Asia, introducing a full scale war using all forces combined. The massive strike back of the Americans, whose marines bravely fought many tough and bloody battles on now forgotten insulate islands spread throughout the whole Pacific. This led to desperate Japanese defense tactics such as Kamikaze, human bullets and suicidal Banzai charges. Until, finally, incendiary bombings brought the empire to its knees."

The album title "On Divine Winds" is a translation of the Japanese word "kamikaze," as kami stands for "God" and kaze means "wind."

"On Divine Winds" will feature 12 tracks on the limited first digibook edition and 11 song on the regular jewelcase version.

"On Divine Winds" track listing:

01. The Eve Of Battle
02. Operation Z
03. The Mukden Incident
04. Strategy Of Attrition
05. Full Scale War
06. Guadalcanal
07. On Coral Shores
08. Unsung Heroes
09. Tokyo Napalm Holocaust
10. Sugar Loaf Hill (bonus track on limited first digibook edition)
11. Kamikaze
12. To Bear The Unbearable

HAIL OF BULLETS' "Warsaw Rising" EP was released on July 17, 2009 (in Europe) via Metal Blade Records. Featuring two brand new tracks, one cover and three live recordings, it was made available as a six-page digipack and in a strictly limited edition of 2,000 copies only!

"Warsaw Rising" contained the new songs "Liberators" (an ode to one of the most magnificent bombers ever built) and the title track (which tells the tragic tale of the bloody 1944 Warsaw uprising). A "massive" cover of the TWISTED SISTER classic "Destroyer" and three tracks from the BULLETS' earth-shattering performance at the 2008 Party.San Open Air festival were also included.

"…Of Frost And War", the debut album from HAIL OF BULLETS, was released in Europe in May 2008 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was recorded in February/March of 2008 at Excess Studios in Rotterdam, Holland and was mixed and mastered in Sweden by Dan Swanö.

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 also mixed by Swanö.

[Nathagnôle]

il va être encore meilleur que le premier. Je l'avais écouté chez Martin van Drunen. Il est plus varié, plus brutal. Vraiment classe.

Dans le premier morceau il y a une ligne à deux grattes, on dirait preqsue du THIN LIZZY, et ça passe vraiment bien dans le style de HAIL OF BULLETS.

[Metal B]

Je l'ai acheté aujourd'hui sur la seule lecture de ton post!
Une écoute des premiers titres...ça m'a l'air du tout bon!

[Nathagnôle]

cool! j'espère que l'effet kiss cool va durer dans le temps!

[over'phil]

d'ailleurs j'adore trop la fin de l'intro et le debut du premier morceau sur le premier opus

[Mr. Sandman]

Le clip pour le morceau "Operation Z":

[Mout Mout]

C'est juste une putain de tuerie cet album...je ne connais pas le premier, mais gageons que je vais remédier à ça rapidement !

Les allemands aiment le death metal, le groupe entrent dans les charts, certes "juste" n°75 :

"On Divine Winds", the second full-length album from HAIL OF BULLETS — the Dutch death metal 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 — has entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 75.

Comments the band: "HAIL OF BULLETS soar into the German album charts 'On Divine Winds'!

"We're extremely proud of our first-ever chart entry, and it only makes sense that this would happen in the most metal-minded country in the world.

"We salute our loyal fans for greasing the gears of war; this isn't just our victory but yours as well! Death metal supreme!"

[norde]

Faut que je me le choppe cet album, le premier est déjà bien bonnard et au vu des réactions sur ce topic ça laisse présager que du bon.

Départ ou éviction de Martin Van Drunen :

Dutch death metallers HAIL OF BULLETS have parted ways with vocalist Martin Van Drunen (PESTILENCE, ASPHYX).

Said the band in a statement: "We are sorry to announce that Martin Van Drunen is no longer part of HAIL OF BULLETS. On a personal level, it's no longer possible for us to continue the cooperation with Martin. Unfortunately, this means we have to cancel all upcoming shows until further notice.

"This does not mean the end of HAIL OF BULLETS.

"The main reason for starting this band eight years ago was our mutual love for real death metal and to have fun playing our favorite kind of music and we did not want to lose this 'fun' part.

"We acknowledge the fact that Martin's a good singer with a distinctive voice but he's not the only great singer on this planet. We wish him all the best in his future career.

"To be continued…"

sont con les gars, Martin fais parti des meilleurs frontman dans le genre. Y a toujours Asphyx en activité

[fabrice]

sont con les gars, Martin fais parti des meilleurs frontman dans le genre.

+1 c'est bien dommage...

[Keyser]

On sent un peu d'animosité dans ce communiqué, je me demande ce qu'il s'est passé...

[BurningDarkness]

Oulala oui je me demande bien aussi ce qu'il s'est passé, et surtout qui ils vont bien pouvoir trouver pour le remplacer...

[Mr. Sandman]

Mince...c'est quand même bien sympa HOB, sur scène et sur disque, en partie grâce à Martin.

[weik]

sont con les gars, Martin fais parti des meilleurs frontman dans le genre. Y a toujours Asphyx en activité

Bin justement peut être qu'Asphyx reprend le dessus dans les priorités de Martin avec un investissement moindre pour HOB.

[chevelu]

Personnellement je comprends le communiqué comme "ok il bosse bien mais c'est un gros con".
