It's funny when a band that always moves only minimally stylistically, fabulates something from "back to the roots". But in this case it's also a big deal, because what the Swedish beer destroyers Bullet are once again digging up here with cool old-school bangers is worth all the credit. Bullet have understood the spirit of Heavy Metal, don't give a damn about conventions, but instead pop pure joy of life through the speakers, even if the references are completely obvious. It's basically the perfect combination of Rock'n'Roll and Heavy Metal, with Accept, Priest and AC/DC (each in their early 80s phase) as godfathers. And yes, the beginning of "Tornado" has the epic moment of "For Those About To Rock", while the cover reminds of either "Power Of The Night" or "British Steel". But the most important thing is: Who has seen Frontklops Hell Hofer (mixture of Brian Dirkschneider and Udo Johnson) and his troupe once live, knows: rivets, thick eggs in tight pants, leather jackets and fully turned up Marshall amps are still the hottest.
