I'm a big, big even huge fan of
BULLET from their first album
"Heading For The Top" that for me was a beacon of light at the time of that release, up to their last album released on 2012
"Full Pull" , even though that
"Full Pull" I think was a more mellow album they still kept the fire of metal on , with great fun to listen Hard rock meets Metal, now upfront I can say that like any
BULLET album their new album named
"Storm Of Blades" will be a classic one , however it remains to see if it will become a masterpiece , I will try and reveal that along the review.
BULLET's new album starts with an Intro named
"Uprising" with new significant impact however the moment you get to track number two , the album title track
"Storm of Blades" you feel like you just hit a brick wall, starts with a
JUDAS PRIEST old days style riff and what unforgettable riff it's ,
"Storm of Blades" itself, it's a classic track that should and will become an hymen of the band for years to come , just like
"Heading For The Top" and
"Midnight Oil" had become. the storm doesn’t stop in the contrary it goes on with
"Riding High" with again classic lead riff that you just can't get out of you head, loyal to their classic sound from
AC/DC,
BULLET uses
"Tornado" to remind us that they know how to create crescendo start ,
"Tornado" reminds me of
"Hell bells" from
AC/DC and yet again
BULLET nails it with yet another classic.
"Hawk Eyes" again it's reminisce of
JUDAS PRIEST classic riffing; does look like a
BULLET try with the immortal
"Electric Eye" even the chorus reminds me of that.
For me, besides
"Storm Of Blades" the song
"This One's For You", is the best, again classic and great lead riff and great vocals like in all songs by
Dag Hell Hofer, you can love or dislike his voice but the sheer power that he demonstrates is amazing.
Don’t miss out on
"Hammer Down" and
"Run With The Hunted" sheer classic songs with
AC/DC and
JUDAS PRIEST mix that create the unique sound of
BULLET.
Heavier, better and classic this is the conclusion of
BULLET's new album, it's a real
"Storm of Metal".
