Who would have thought that after almost a year away, and all the implications with Matt's voice, that the Bullet boys could come back with such anthem like album ? This album is sure to prove all the haters that Bullet for My Valentine aren't just Metallica wannabes.

Scream Aim Fire is the first single taken from the album and if you haven't heard it yet, you clearly don't know what you’re missing out on. The song is a fantastic choice for the first single as it really shows all of Bullet's strengths. Head-banging riffs, hectic drumming and intense vocals are just some of the things you can expect to hear from the song, let alone the whole album.

As with many bands these days, there is a topic of war on the album, but with lyrics such as "Kill your enemies, My Brothers dead around me, Wounds are hurting , Death is creeping for me" I doubt your history teacher will be reading their lyrics to you any time soon. Whilst some of the songs may give your average person a headache and have some lovely, morbid lyrics, songs like Hearts burst into Fire could almost be classed as a ballad, only if it were more cheesier and less guitar shredding.

If you’re not into fast beat songs and head-banging this album is not for you, however if you are a bullet fan, new or old, you will not be disappointed. I'm sure this album will be a hit worldwide!
