There it is! The first work of the Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine. Yes you read that right, the guys come from Wales and evacuate with your metal album "The Poison" neatly on. 14 steam ramming tracks, a riff - even worse than it was then MetallicA mid-80s, but in the right places again quiet and beautiful. This is already apparent from the beginning. The quiet Zupfinto, were supported in the BV of Apocalyptica, humming to himself two minutes, and then neatly loszuhämmern the transition to "Her Voice Resides". The reefs thunder, the Lead Guitar sawn and sing the shouter and the growls Zigarrettenteer of the lungs. The good voice of the front man keeps falling off into gröhlige and gives the songs more aggressiveness. You have to literally be careful that you do not die of a heart attack before the end of the album. Well, who gives as a first work, is certainly quite large, though BV is not just oriented chart. Although the term rock is interpreted broadly, the Bullets have nothing to do with wannabe rock stars like Tokio Hotel (the worst case of all!). Because there are proper rock / metal, long hair, black fingernails and guitarist who deserve your name and especially ordinary blow-me-dead reefs! For me, Bullet For My Valentine has delivered with "The Poison" the metal album of the year, because nobody is rocking this year more. And that on the first try. Respect!
