REVIEW BY VILLE KRANNILA \/ MAY 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

GlassBullet hail from the birth place of heavy metal<\/span>, Birmingham, UK. They are a 4-piece hard rock set up and will shortly release their brand new EP \u201cBlack Eyes.\u201d They have steadfastly climbed up the heavy rock ladder. Group\u2019s debut EP \u201cMisguided\u201d came out in 2012 and busy touring schedule has followed since then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Title track opens the proceedings and is catchy mid-tempo rocker, which slowly grinds its way into your subcons<\/span>cious. Guitars sound punchy, production is sharp and to the point. Guitar riffs dominate and atmosphere changes from light into heavier darkness quickly creating interesting counterpoint. Vocalist Lewis Ward carries enough grit and power to let these melodies soar. Also guitar solo has that classic kind or rock tune which I like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second track <\/span>\u201cPride & Pain\u201d again impresses with excellent guitar sound and heavy riffs and \u201cSID\u201d takes the experimenting further with a 1980\u2019s sounding melodic opening before we move to another tasteful groove. Guitar solo must be mentioned here as well, have to admire lead guitarist Ben Evans\u2019 playing. The slower part almost sounds like Alice In Chains but threatens to go off curve any second.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally \u201cShot In The Dark\u201d completes the EP<\/span> and has faster rhythm. I\u2019m repeating myself here, but Evans really knows his business. Chorus melody is very nice and is left ringing in your ears, this one must go down great when played live.<\/span><\/p>\n

This band knows what groove is as all songs – rather than go for more obvious speed and high pitched vocals – impress with their heavy riffs and slower arrangements whilst still retaining a classic hard rock tone. With today\u2019s music getting stuffed with too much extra, it\u2019s always refreshing to hear melodic, heavy and good down-to-the-bone hard rock.<\/span><\/p>\n
