At the end of 2006, the future members of Hail of Bullets hooked up for a serious drinking session in the city of Amersfoort, Holland. A mutual love for old school death metal bands like Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Massacre (US), Celtic Frost and Death resulted in the idea to form a band.
Lyrics:
Summer 1941
Instructors start to train
A night bomber squadron
The 588th
Regiment of women
From pilots to mechanics
Claim their role in history
These aviatrixes

Polikarpov biplanes
Providing ground support
Temperature plummeting
To -54
Climbing the dark cloudened sky
Engaged in dog-fights
Up to 18 missions
In one single night

High above Rodina
For the umpteenth raid
Female fighter aces
Send their bombs away
Through the deafening sirens
Struck by heavy flak
Although riddled with bullets
All made it safely back

Shrieking madonnas
Lead spitting banshees
Baptize them in fire
Iron Valkyries
Incoming Nachthexen
Set the ground ablaze
Push the throttle up again
And hear their screams of pain

[KalerDanMijnMoeder]

Martin van Drunen did indeed sing in Bolt Thrower you motherfuckers!!

[lordsabbathan]

@KalerDanMijnMoeder sure did

[stonedcaveman]

He was the former vocalist of Pestilence, not Bolt Thrower. They do have the Bolt Thrower sound though. Excellent band. If you like this, check out Axis Powers on myspace. They don't have any vids on youtube that I am aware of.

[lordsabbathan]

well for your information, he has been singing for Bolt Thrower from 1994 to199. He also war a member of these bands: , Bunkur, Asphyx (Hol), Comecon, Death By Dawn, Pestilence (Hol), Submission (Hol), Mortuary I.O.D.)
