HAIL!HORNET, southern metal band featuring “Dixie” Dave Collins (WEEDEATER, BUZZOV*EN, BONGZILLA) on bass, Erik Larson (ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, BIRDS OF PREY, PARASYTIC) on drums, Vince Burke (BEATEN BACK TO PURE, LUNCH) on guitars, and Troy Medlin (SOURVEIN, BUZZOV*EN) on vocals, have returned with their second album, ‘Disperse The Curse’, released in North America yesterday, July 19th, 2011 via Relapse Records. The band and the label are graciously allowing us to listen to the album in its here (BandCamp). Two years in the making, ‘Disperse The Curse’ was recorded at Sniper Studio by the band's own Vince Burke. Album's artwork was created by Brian Mercer. You should buy the album here (Relapse Records).

“ ‘Disperse The Curse’ is a relentless metallic onslaught laden with burly, locomotive riffs and raw and ragged vocals that spit paeans of misgiving and disgust,” reads the press release, and The Obelisk's H.P. Taskmaster adds: “[This album] is a little more focused, more linear than was HAIL!HORNE's first outing - all things relative, but it’s still dirty as hell tonally and topped off with Medlin's trademark throat-searing screams. It’s not all sludge, but those elements are definitely in there, and there’s no denying that when these guys kick into a groove, it’s absolutely brutal.” Read more here (The Obelisk).

HAIL!HORNET's debut self-titled album was released in 2007 on Dwell Ministries Records: “When one considers the, shall we say, “social” interaction that is usually involved with smoking weed, it’s no wonder that the stoner rock community seems to produce more intra-group collaborations than most musical cliques, and in HAIL!HORNET, the genre has yet another such “supergroup” to follow in the footsteps of luminary predecessors like DOWN, DESSET SESSIONS and THE MIGHTY NIMBUS,” offers his expertise Eduardo Rivadavia (AllMusic). “HAIL!HORNET's pedigree certainly reads like an embarrassment of riches, and their eponymous debut album doesn’t give failure a chance with its notably energetic brand of stoner metal.” Read the rest here.
