Hail Of Bullets - Warsaw Rising

Label: Metal Blade
Format: Download
Released: 2009
Reviewed By: Mark Gromen
Rating: 6/10


Stop gap Ep for Martin van Drunen fronted outfit while the Dutchman commits to new Asphyx album. You get a pair of new songs, a cover of Twisted Sister’s ‘Destroyer’ and a trio of live cuts (between song raps in foreign tongue). Both of the newbies concern WW II: the titular track concerning the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw ghetto and ‘Liberators’ dedicated to the American B-24 bomber. The opening title cut is straight ahead death metal (one cool guitar break), Drunen’s acid gargled lyrics barely perceptible. The Twisted number is slowed a bit, the words painstakingly exaggerated (and accented in pained screams). Of the onstage material, ‘Nachthexen’ is a grind, while ‘The Crucial Offensive’, thanks to some wild whammy bar, rides the punk/thrash-death dividing line.
