• THE STORY SO FAR •

"Desolation" – Is the title of the third album by German metal band Nailgun and it includes 10 brand new songs! "Desolation" shows a consistent further development to its predecessors "Paindustry" and "New World Chaos". In 2014, NAILGUN sound straighter and harder than ever, including more elements of Thrash metal, bruising and bulky guitar riffs and they nail down their songs in a way you haven't heard the band before. Grooving, fast and aggressive parts, including shouts and double bass drum, meet complex, melancholic-balladic moments. You can find the typical NAILGUN-sound in every part of the songs: Edgy and fierce riffs, catchy lead guitars and melodies, powerful vocal lines and anthemic choruses. Again recorded, mixed and mastered by their long-time producer Tom Müller at Flatliners Studio who gave the album its signature tone. The album artwork is modern, artistic and is a straight-forward pictorial representation of the title, made by Season Zero, again.

Since 2008, NAILGUN realize their vision of a metal band, combining different styles of heavy metal music, without being fixed in a destined genre. The most obvious characterization, related to the NAILGUN-style, might be "Dark Heavy Metal".
In April 2011, NAILGUN released their first, self-produced album "Paindustry" and they caught attention in the metal press. A range of positive reviews in webzines and magazines at home and abroad shows it:

• "Powerful metal, dark and energetic and complex at its best. Very interesting and individually arranged compositions" (EMP – Germany)
• "Catchy hooks get the listener immediately - a really strong debut album" (6/7 points, Earshot-E-Zine - Austria)
• "This debut is a lively, multifarious metal album for open minded people" (7/10 points, Powermetal.de – Germany)

In October 2012 NAILGUN released their second album "New World Chaos" via STF records. Showing significant improvements to its predecessor! More complex and varying, the band created 11 songs full of catchy lead guitars, melodies and strong choruses. "New World Chaos" was reviewed in various webzines and magazines around the world with positive feedbacks:

• "Strong compositions, great timing, well-made album" (5/7 points, Metal Hammer – Germany)
• "Epic arrangements, powerful shouts and stand out melodies" (10/15 points, Legacy – Germany)
• "On this level the band will make it to the top" (3,5/5 points, Stormbringer.at – Austria)
• "Plenty of hymns and lots of dark/bleak epics" (8/10 points, Metal.de – Germany)
• "A very great sounding hybrid of progressive power metal and technical thrash. Recommended buy!"(ExtremeUndergroundMusicZine)
• "This album is a definite standout album. It's certainly something to be proud of!"(9 von 10 Punkten, wolfhoundmetalradio.org - Canada)
