    Yeah the song has really caught me. Great riffing and dynamics, not too into that type of growling singing which all the new metal bands seem to do for the past few years but I like it! 'look, at, me, NOW!!'

    It does grab ya alright. Single came out last I think. They've got a mini-album type thing out as well 'Hand of Blood'. They're supporting Funeral For A Friend at the Ambassador in June.

    Four Reasons sample if you haven't heard it

    The song is called Four Words to Choke Upon. They have an EP out at the moment. You can pick it up in HMV for like a tenner. They're brilliant. Really talented. If they're supporting Funeral For A Friend I might go, just for them.

    They supported 36 Crazyfist in the TBMC and they are extremely talented. These lads can put on a excellent show. There good and really nice guys too...

    Yeah I think they're great. I like that song "Hand Of Blood"
    Also they have a song called "No More Sorrow" and when they do it live they somehow make it into 45 minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    I love this band. The EP is called Bullet for my Valentine, isnt it? Hand of Blood was the first single from it. Still havent seen them live yet and im gonna miss GNR now with them supporting. Didnt really know them before the FFAF gig though. And yes, they would (easily) upstage FFAF, me thinks. My favourite songs of theirs would have to All these I hate etc., Hand of Blood, Curses & Suffocating under Words of Sorrow. Anyway, thats my two cents for now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭pbsuxok1znja4r


    Woeful vocals, woeful lyrics, cool riffs, drums & guitarwork. Got their EP last summer...2 good songs on it. Highly recycled stuff, but well polished nonetheless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    They have a full album out now, it's much better than then the EP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    mate of mine gave me the EP and album. they're not bad... like someone already said, very MH-esque. i don't really like the vocals but there's enough talent there to keep me interested


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 316 ✭✭LightofDarkness


    Nothing worth a dime here, just another emo/metalcore band following the same rusty formula as the rest. Really, is no one sick of this tired old formula yet? It's getting ridiculous, I've been hearing the same band on scuzz for the last 2 years, just sometimes the band is more emo or more metal but it's always the same rubbish. Bah, I give up.

    My Scuzz seems yo have disappeared!
    Did it change channel and I have to tune it in or something?
    Bah, I need my one decent song an hour channel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Sky changed all their channel numbers around a while back.
    As for all the emo in it....small doses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Ah i know they not original! Its just like Trivium. Same old same old. But im not big into metal and dont like MH or Pantera or those! so BFMV shall do me for now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    All These Things was scarily catchy!

    as is 'cries in vain', my favourite song on their album.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Cries in Vain was on both albums! Madness i thought when it started playin on both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow' is my favourite.

    I was also quite partial to 'Hand of Blood', why didn't that make it onto the album?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Hand of Blood was on the debut EP! it was a self-titled thing. Quite good. Curses is a great song


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭Spoderman


    can't believe someone just said that they don't like Pantera :eek:

    Everybody should like Pantera....it's like....the law :D

    Anyhoo, back to topic. Picked up the BFMV album. Couple of catchy tunes but an awful lot of filler material. That song..it's the new single...can't think of the name but the chorus goes "just back off before I snap" is terrible


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    If you read my post properly you would see im not big into metal and so dont like Pantera. Its the same with most metal bands who everybody loves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,658 ✭✭✭Patricide


    BFMV, Super talented guys on there instuments, listened to one of there songs and thought yes let there be a new class metal band then after 30 or so seconds they went gay and runed there cances of ever being listened to again by me, Why are there so many bands like this around??


    O and yes no matter if you like metal or not, listening to pantera should be LAW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    What happened after 30 seconds?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭Squirrel


    What happened after 30 seconds?

    He stopped singing and started shouting.

    I got their album for my birthday 2 weeks ago. I like "All These Things I Hate", "Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow" and "10 Years Today". The rest is ok I thought, but I'm more a fan of actually singing
