Bullet classic metal from Sweden

Found out about these guys about a week ago and I am seriously blown away! These guys sound quite a bit like Accept! One of the former guitarists in the now defunct thrash masters Hypnosia now plays in this band. Been jamming their latest album quite a lot lately. If there was anything to remind you of the 80's in a classic sense, this is for you!

Sounds like more like AC/DC (or Krokus sounding like AC/DC) to me than Accept. The vocalist sounds like if Brian Johnson and Udo had a unbelieveably ugly child.

I can't get myspace at work but if that's this band

I hear a distinct AC/DC vibe too.

I have Bite The Bullet and Heading For The Top

Yeah, that's them, toho.

That's exactly what I hear in this band.

This is the kind of metal i seek. The 80's are back, and it's about time

I firend of mine just got a proposal from this band to have them play live here in my city! He is thinking about getting them to play on a festival he is organizing. Should be fun!

That's true. I saw them last year in September. They blew away the headliner - awesome show. I talked to Hampus Klang and Hell Hofer after the show and they signed my CD. They were very nice guys and Hell Hofer was drunk.

I have Bite the Bullet and Heading for the Top. For me they sound like a mixture of Accept and AC/DC. The vocals are a little bit closer to Brian Johnson than to Udo Dirkschneider, but the guitars sound more like Accept than AC/DC. But that's only my impression. Also their stage acting reminds more tho Accept.

it's a mixture between ac/dc and accept. if ur a fan of screeching vocals, u'll love them!

these are the types of bands that I have been waiting for. I will definitely will get a copy of these band very soon

The vocalist looks familiar...

I saw his picture. He's truly ugly

Thats awesome that I am not alone in liking this band as much as I do. I hear Accept in them much more than I hear AC/DC. Still can't stop listening to these guys!!!

There's a NORWAY Rock Festival? What, is that a bunch of Black Metal artists doing mediocre covers of all the great bands of SWEDEN Rock Festival?

Norway rock festival! Must be a delight. I attended a metallica concert in oslo in 2007. I loved norway.

DU-DU-DU-DU- DOUBLE POST!!!!

I'm not too familiar with Accept's works outside of Balls to the Wall, but I can see the similiarities to Udo in the songs. This is good stuff.

Check out Restless And Wild, you won't regret it. Metal Heart is good too as well as Russian Roulette.

heading for the top is on its way. should reach me next week.

Need to revisit this band's albums.

Is BULLET active as a band anymore ?
I know they had a few members leave / replaced.
They weren’t super duper talented - but I dug them.
Any secret info people ?
