With Blood On My Hands is certainly a fitting title for SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE's long-awaited full-length debut. There's
blood allright…and it's coursing like venom through every song on the album. It's smeared on the walls, dripping on the
floor, oozing from frayed arteries and drowning lead vocalist Andreas Söderlund's damaged, scarred psyche. It's the
blood that's filling the hole where his heart used to be...and inciting the band's frantic, downright explosive sound.
If catharsis was the main theme of SLV's critically-acclaimed debut CDEP The Pistol, then With Blood On My Hands takes
it a step further by manifesting the unflinching, searingly-honest imagery of a man struggling with the demons of “black
love†as Söderlund describes it. Whether it's an affair that's exciting-yet-destructive or simply the bitter
condemnation of an ex-lover, With Blood On My Hands is a raw, exposed nerve revealing unhinged pain and jagged tension
through its dynamic songwriting.
As a whole, With Blood On My Hands follows a trajectory similar to that of a destructive relationship, beginning with a
steady, nervous beat and gradually erupting into a buzzsaw of guitars and percussive stomp. Blasting out unpolished,
gritty pop hooks that drive the stake deeper and deeper with each crushing riff, With Blood On My Hands gushes more and
more until it finally reaches a critical level with the incredible album closer “The Greatest.†It never felt this good
to be on life support...
“Soul-crushingly magnificent...these tracks are positively compelling. KKKKK.†- Kerrang
“From the first note to the last...explosive, original and simply mind-blowing.†- Absolute Punk
“Giving vehemence a new voice, Sounds Like Violence is vital.†- Rock Sound
