Background:

Bullets in a Burning Box is the post-industrial band project of Nathanael Mathias Weiss. “I backpacked around the world with a guitar,” says Weiss, “making money on street corners and writing observations on the beauty and wonder of life. With adventure calling, I bought a boat and turned it into a floating recording studio. When you close your eyes and listen to Bullets, you can almost feel the immortal rhythm of the ocean powering the beats.”

The band’s debut album Afear was released in 2007, followed by a 2008 remix EP, An Exit.
