Hail Of Bullets is the project of several noted Dutch musicians who convened in late 2006 to form a traditional death metal band. The band, featuring former Pestilence, Bolt Thrower and Asphyx singer Martin Van Drunen Gorefest drummer Ed Warby, Thanatos guitarists Stephan Gebédi and Paul Baayens as well as former Houwitser bass player Theo van Eekelen, signed a deal with Metal Blade Records in November of 2007. The group had issued a demo, which was mixed by Dan Swanö, in September.
