The band's debut album for Napalm, "Fear in a Handful of Dust," will be released that Tuesday, January 10th, in the U.S. So far, the record has been called "A modern thrash metal smack in the mouth, a devastating blow that will leave listeners toothless and whimpering" by METAL MANIACS, and BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES guaranteed that HURTLOCKER "should get pits full of disenfranchised youths moving in violent spasms across the globe."
