Seminal EP Pressed on 12" Ox Blood Color Vinyl!
First Standalone Vinyl Release!
Bullet For My Valentine's debut era began with the explosive Hand of Blood EP, setting the stage for their breakthrough album The Poison, which quickly established the band as leaders of modern British metal. The EP is a reissue of the 2004 self-titled EP with slightly altered track listing and new artwork. Hand of Blood included the single "4 Words (To Choke Upon)," which was initially a Japan-only bonus track included on the self-titled EP. The songs "4 Words (To Choke Upon)" and "Cries in Vain" were later included on the band's full-length debut, The Poison. AllMusic asserted that Hand of Blood is "essentially a deluxe version" of the band's self-titled 2004 EP.
In 2024, to celebrate the release's 20th anniversary, the album was remastered and released in an expansive box set featuring 4LPs, new artwork, collectibles, and the first-ever vinyl pressing of Live at Brixton. Now, the Hand of Blood EP returns as a standalone release, giving both longtime fans and new collectors the chance to own the recording that sparked Bullet For My Valentine's legacy.
Now available as an ox blood colored vinyl.
