Here we have the debut album from Bullet For My Valentine, who are currently
all over the covers of alternative music magazines and have recently won
a Kerrang award for Best British Newcomers. An award which they rightly
deserve and this album proves just that.
The Poison starts with a chilled intro and then blasts straight into
the second track “Her Voice Resides” with guitars blazing
and heavy screams. The track's one of the heaviest on the album has a
great solo and a good chorus.
The next track is “4 Words” which has a catchy chorus that
gets you singing along. Next up is “Tears Don’t Fall”
which slows the album down for a bit. It features yet again another great
catchy chorus.
One of my favourite tracks on the album is their latest single “Suffocating
Under Words Of Sorrow”. It starts with a great guitar riff and then
the screaming vocals come in, the chorus is a little bit poppy which isn't
a bad thing at all.
Track number 7 “All these Things I Hate“ is another slow
song on the album and has an acoustic intro. “Room 409” starts
of with an intro of screaming vocals and the chorus features group vocals
and works really well.
My personal favourite track on the album is the title track “The
Poison”. Its heavy all the way through and features a good solo
and really good vocals, and sounds similar to Trivium in some ways which
can only be a good thing.
Overall The Poison is a stunning album full of heaviness and also has
its mellow moments. Bullet For My Valentine have got it right with this
album and deserve all the praise they get. The future of British metal
seems bright right now, with Bullet for My Valentine right at the front
of the pack.
5/5
