Album Review: Hail Of Bullets - III: The Rommel Chronicles

Dutch death metal bruisers Hail Of Bullets are this generation's Bolt Thrower. This time, the World War II-obsessed outfit turn to Rommel's North African campaign for their latest collection of mid-paced death metal madness. And you know what? These songs sound exactly like a Panzer column slugging it out in the desert with the likes of Tobruk and DAK reinforcing that good riffs win over mindless speed every time. Add Martin van Drunen's inhuman growls and nothing else comes close. III: The Rommel Chronicles is the death metal album of the year.
