hail of bullets
Hail Of Bullets
Of Frost And War...
Metal Blade
2008

A crushingly heavy concept album documenting the Battle of Stalingrad during WWII. Tanks, heavy artillery, explosions, rockets, pain, anguish, hunger, disease…slaughter…all the components of a classic death metal release, crafted in a lovingly old school style. You can almost hear the sounds of war in the riffing…and Van Drunen`s vocals? Awesome.

Manowar - Hail To Engalnd
Manowar
Hail to England
Geffen
1984

A definite Monkey favourite from our favourite ageing battle metallers, Manowar. Crammed full of classic tracks and the obligatory self-indulgent bass solo from Manowar head honcho Joey DeMaio (well, he is the fastest, most-original bass player in the world™), Hail to England has documented many a Monkey night out.
