Product Details

The debut album from Bullet For My Valentine sees these Welsh rockers stake a claim to a plot of the UK metal soil already conquered by valleys countrymen Lostprophets and Funeral For A Friend. Whereas the ‘Prophets choose to dose their rock with an ‘80s new romantic sheen and F4AF temper it with an emotional hardcore edge, Bullet are all about the unreconstructed metal of Iron Maiden, early Metallica, and Judas Priest. Unquestionably, lead guitarist Michael ‘Padge’ Padget has an ear for barbed riffs and the sort of dexterous fretboard work that befits an axe hero in the waiting. But the likes of "Her Voice Resides" and (deep breath) "Suffocating Under The Words Of Sorrow (What Can I Do)" find the band working with the tight union of potential Donnington headliners, and given this is their first album proper, that’s impressive going. Although it’s not immediately obvious, there’s an emotional edge to the likes of "All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)" that will undoubtedly appeal to the emo fraternity weaned on Funeral’s passionate, holler-along choruses.--Louis Pattison
