Bullets And Octane – ‘Riot Riot Rock ‘n’ Roll’ (Bad MoFo Records/Cargo)

Bullets And Octane – ‘Riot Riot Rock ‘n’ Roll’ (Bad MoFo Records/Cargo)

Posted by | Apr 13, 2020 | ,

Surely, it’s time for Bullets And Octane to make a comeback? They were touted as “Next Big Things” back in 2006 on the strength of their (excellent) second album ‘In The Mouth Of The Young,’ but any hopes of arena stardom were derailed when they got dropped by RCA. Fast forward a decade and chances are most rock fans will have forgotten them, but they’ve been quietly releasing albums on minor labels all this time and despite some significant line-up changes, never really went away. They had the spotlight taken off them is all.

This album delivers on exactly what John B wanted. There is an old school flair while still being modern and having their own sound. There are elements that hearken back to old school heavy metal while still having that death metal root. It is definitely death metal first and foremost. The heavy metal elements are more in how the tracks progress rather than tone. There is a nice rhythm that is set giving an interesting vibe to each track. This makes for a sound that nicely fits in the background when you are listening while working. It makes the album very approachable without feeling bland, as can often happen.
