 
The Black Bullets formed back towards the end
of 2011 and since then they have been causing
waves in the underground music scene with their
gritty as fuck music which brings together the
best of metal and punk fused with a big we don’t
give a fuck attitude.
The band have just released their second EP ‘Thirteens’
which happens to be a 13 minutes long 4 track
offering, and from the moment you hit the play
button The Black Bullets come charging at you
with massive riffs and dirty sounding vocals which
leave you wondering if front man Rob Castle chewed
on a bunch of grit moments before laying down
his vocals, instrumentally ‘Thirteens’
features a lot of rhythm and a solid guitar solo
towards the end, as the song ends you will find
yourself reaching for the repeat button just so
you can throw your fists in the air and chant
“Thirteens” along with the band again
and again.
‘How High’ is a tasty sounding high
tempo song where the band really come together
and show off their instrumental work with some
groovy basslines, fast paced guitar riffs and
not to forget the constant hard hitting drum beats
as the band find time to solidly jam in-between
vocals, talking of vocals Rob Castle is on top
form again but it is the mad energetic fist pumping
chant-a-long shouts of “How high, how high”
which really grabs your attention.
‘Untitled’ shows a slightly different
side of The Black Bullets from the rest of the
EP in the way that it is more of a solid guitar
driven song where the band ditch the shouty vocals
and welcome a more sing-a-long vocal style. The
awesome ‘My Priest’ closes the EP
and what a way to do so, the song is big and ballsy
sounding with some killer guitar work on offer
especially when the solo kicks in, lyrically the
song is entertaining with Rob Castle singing “I
sniff, I swallow, don’t give a fuck if I
wake up tomorrow” in such a catchy way,
whilst the rest of the band gather together for
shouts of “My Priest”.
It is not every day that you come across a band
like the Black Bullets, on record they sound fantastic,
and I imagine that they absolutely smash it on
the live circuit, seriously head over to the bands
website (http://www.theblackbullets.bigcartel.com)
and purchase this EP before heading down to one
of their live shows tanked up on JD whilst wearing
your finest body armour whilst madness erupts
around you.
4/5
