| 4.5 superb | Bloodriot44 | November 6th 09 |
I would've rated it 'classic' but the fact that it's just an EP, causes it to lose a point.
I remember, I just got the Need For Speed: Most Wanted release and came across the Hand Of Blood track whilst playing the game. While I wasn't into Metal at that time, I really enjoyed the song and listened to it over and over again. After endless searching, I finally got this EP and dove deeper into the sea of Metal. This band sparked my inception in the Metal as a humble listener, and as a musician. Because of Bullet I now listen to bands like Mors Principium Est, Fragments of Unbecoming, Scar Symmetry, Miseration, All Shall Perish, Aborted, Daath and the mighty VADER!!!
This EP is superb, we have two really talented guitarist, a bassist who you can actually hear, and a drummer who's fills and patterns can becoming very technical at times (even though they're a bit slow). All in all, this was step one. The Poison and Scream Aim Fire are killer as well, even though their style changed alot in such a short time.

Maybe it's just me, but there isn't a whole lot of replay value to be expected for this one EP. Bullet for My Valentine were just another addition to the metalcore scene at the time; this didn't mean they were terrible right from the get-go, but all the purists would simply deride them. Hand of Blood has some alright instrumentation and may provide a little nostalgia here and there, though it's also blatantly lacking.

The title track is good, as are some moments of Just Another Star. Besides that, though, there's nothing here that will keep the listener's interest for too long.
