Thirty Days of Music Day 16 - A Song You Hate But Used To Love
Welsh metal band, Bullet for my Valentine, released their debut self titled ep in November 2004 on the Visible Noise label. They sparked a minor craze, with a large amount of the alternative teen population falling in love with their pained, dark lyrics and unleashed energy.
Hand of Blood, probably their most famous song, is a crazily energetic riot of a song that screams for attention. It's all about the sickeningly fast guitar and violent screaming, with the pounding drums driving the whole intrumentation forward. I used to absolutely love this song but as I've grown older I have moved away from this style of music. I'm not saying that I absolutely despise it, because the guitar is still catchy and the song has a certain charm to it. My main problem with the song is that I've mellowed quite considerably since 2005 and this song isn't subtle enough for my liking.
It's a shame that Bullet haven't really produced anything up to the standard of their first few releases since then, but I suppose it was hard for them to live up to that early strength.
