Bloodbound: One Night of Blood (CD/DVD)

There's a quote on the press release for this CD/DVD attributed to HammerFall's Oscar Dronjak which merely says of Bloodbound, "This is a typical Swedish heavy metal band and I say that in a very positive way." Like so many of their compatriots (the much missed Dream Evil spring readily to mind) they play unabashedly uncomplicated heavy metal with choruses scientifically designed to bring forth much fist pumping and head banging.

The reason for the release of One Night of Blood's release is that that band are planning to expand as a touring entity – something which has not always been helped by a revolving door policy towards vocalists in particular. In fact within a few days of writing this the band arrive in the UK alongside Sabaton and Alestorm. I plan to be in Manchester to see them and this album will be on heavy rotation between now and then as it is firstly a good record in its own right and secondly the live versions are sufficiently different from their recorded counterparts to be worthy of listening. If you are unfamiliar with the band this is a good place to start but if you don't like songs about the awesomeness of metal stay well clear.
