Musical artist

Martin van Drunen (born 1966) is a Dutch death metal vocalist who started out in the band Pestilence.[1] In this band, he also performed the bass duties live. He recorded two albums with them, Malleus Maleficarum[2] and Consuming Impulse.[3] After his departure from Pestilence, van Drunen joined Asphyx as the singer and bass player in 1990[4] and recorded five albums in total. He performed the vocals on Comecon's second album Converging Conspiracies in 1993[5] and then formed his own band called Submission. In 1995, he was asked to replace Karl Willetts in the UK death metal band Bolt Thrower.[6] He did two tours with them, but never recorded an album.

In 2006, an "all-star" death metal band by the name Hail of Bullets was formed with van Drunen doing vocals, ex-Houwitser bass player Theo van Eekelen, Gorefest drummer Ed Warby and both Thanatos guitarists Paul Baayens and Stephan Gebédi.[7] In May 2008, they released an album called …Of Frost and War.[8] In 2009, van Drunen performed guest vocals on The Project Hate MCMXCIX's album The Lustrate Process. In October 2010, Hail of Bullets released their second album On Divine Winds.[9]
