Bulletbelt

新西兰Black/Thrash Metal乐队，组建于2009年。 Bulletbelt, striking fear into NZ audiences since 2009, vomit forth their debut album of New Zealand Black Metal - Down In The Cold Of The Grave. 7 tracks over 28 minutes of aural punishment – the album was recorded at STL Audio on their vintage SSL 4000G mixing console (previously owned by Pater Gabriel and his Real World Studios) and featuring the artwork of acclaimed NZ artist Nick Keller. After eviscerating audiences in 2012/13 with a nationwide tour, and support slots with international acts The Black Dahlia Murder (USA), Impiety (SGP), Goatwhore (USA), Bolzer (SWI), Paul Dianno (GBR) and Blaze Bayley (GBR), Tragedy (USA), Rotten Sound (FIN), Midnight (USA) and Municipal Waste (USA), 2014 begins with support of Primate (USA) featuring Bill Kelliher of Mastodon and Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth - and the writing/recording of their follow up album! Down In The Cold Of The Grave is out now on CD, vinyl, cassette tape and digital download through Headless Horseman. "Bulletbelt clearly rejoice in metal of all forms, and pour their adoration carefully into their own sparkling concoction of black, thrash and trad metal... If this debut full length is anything to go by, Bulletbelt’s future looks to have many rounds of high calibre ammunition left." - Lars Christiansen Ave Noctum webzine "The debut album from this quintet from New Zealand is a masterful stroke of gritty and aggressive black metal" Nocturnal Cult webzine "With breakneck bitter tunes, Down in the Cold [of the] Grave is 29 minutes of in-your-face, rollicking metal —think Norway’s Craft and Aura Noir at the tail-end of an evening’s drinking and knife fighting." - Craig Hayes www.popmatters.com "…this is more along the lines of early black metal before it got all tangled up in sub-genres. Any which way, this is cool in so many ways that you really need to look this one up ..." - Anders Ekdahl battlehelm.com Members: Steve "Cleaver" Francis - Drums (2009-present) Ross "Rots" Mallon - Guitars (2009-present) Tim Mekalick - Bass (2012-present) Ryan O'Leary - Guitars (2013-present) Jolene Tempest - Vocals (2013-present)
