\n
\nDutch death metal act HAIL OF BULLETS have announced On Divine Winds as the title of the band\u2019s upcoming full-length studio album to be released October 12th via Metal Blade Records!
\n
\nHAIL OF BULLETS’ debut album ‘\u2026Of Frost and War’ was a concept album about the Eastern front war of Germany. ‘On Divine Winds’ is another concept album, this time covering the Pacific battles between Japan and the USA.
\n
\nVocalist Martin van Drunen comments: “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.”
\n
\nThe album title On Divine Winds refers to the translation for the Japanese word Kamikaze, as kami stands for “God” and kaze means “wind”.
\n
\nOn Divine Winds track listing:
\n1. The Eve Of Battle
\n2. Operation Z
\n3. The Mukden Incident
\n4. Strategy of Attrition
\n5. Full Scale War
\n6. Guadalcanal
\n7. On Coral Shores
\n8. Unsung Heroes
\n9. Tokyo Napalm Holocaust
\n10. Kamikaze
\n11. To Bear the Unbearable
\n
\nOn Divine Winds was produced by Ed Warby and like before the monstrous mix was in the capable hands of Mr. Dan Swan\u00f6.
\n
\nDrummer Ed Warby adds: “I don’t think I’ve ever worked this hard on anything in my entire life, but it sure has paid off! Although \u2026Of Frost And War is a tough act to follow, my ringing ears tell me we’ve succeeded in besting it on every level: songs, playing, production\u2026 at the moment Dan Swan\u00f6 is putting the final touches on a mix that could squash a tank, and then it’s off to the pressing plant! All the main ingredients of our blood ‘n’ guts style death metal have remained intact and I honestly can’t imagine anyone that liked our previous work is going to be the least bit disappointed\u2026 on the contrary!”
\n
\nOn Divine Winds will be released out October 12th in North America!
