Rotterdam-based death metallers have announced that they have parted ways with singer Martin Van Drunen (centered above; also Pestilence, Asphyx).

A band statement reads: “We are sorry to announce that Martin van Drunen is no longer part of Hail Of Bullets. On a personal level it’s no longer possible for us to continue the cooperation with Martin. Unfortunately this means we have to cancel all upcoming shows until further notice. This does not mean the end of Hail Of Bullets. The main reason for starting this band 8 years ago was our mutual love for real Death Metal and to have fun playing our favourite kind of music and we did not want to lose this ‘fun part’. We acknowledge the fact that Martin’s a good singer with a distinctive voice but he’s not the only great singer on this planet. For the record, there’s no hate or anger here, but this simply wasn’t working out anymore. We wish him all the best in his future career. To be continued…”

The band’s last album was 2013’s III: The Rommel Chronicles.

Hail Of Bullets is:
Paul Baayens – guitar
Stephan Gebédi – guitar
Theo Van Eekelen – bass 
Ed Warby – drums
