More Info:

2007 album from the British Goth/Rock band led by Wayne Hussey, God Is a Bullet features 15 new songs recorded between September and December 2006 in Bath / England and completed in Wayne Hussey's own Green Room studio in Brazil. Produced and headed by Wayne the album features the line-up of Mark Gemini Thwaite on guitar, Rich Vernon on bass, and Steve Spring on drums. Musically, it is sometimes brazen or brutal while other times it can be reduced to a seductive whisper : it is what every Mission fan is surely hoping for without being what they're expecting. The album features musical contributions from some very special guests including Simon Hinkler (original guitarist with the Mission), who graces the album with some superlative guitar playing, as does Tim Bricheno, original guitarist of All About Eve. Julianne Regan (again from All About Eve) reprises her role from early Mission recordings such as "Severina" and "Beyond the Pale", adding her angelic vocal alongside Wayne Hussey's on a couple of tracks. 'God Is a Bullet' is an album that dares to challenge it's audience. It's an album that will surely come to be viewed as a 'classic' in the canon of the Mission. It's an album that attempts to take forward steps at a time when it's expected for the band to look backwards. Anniversaries? Bah.....They're for the sentimental. God Is a Bullet isn't. Cooking Vinyl.
