KNOTTED by BULLETSCRIPT

From the trenches of the Cape Town metal scene, BULLETSCRIPT unleashed their debut release "Knotted" on 30 August 2014.

Band founder, guitarist and chief songwriter, Jacques Hugo, has gathered around him a group of hard working, and harder playing musicians in order to craft an EP that is as much a testament to creativity, as it is to tenacity. Matt Howard-Tripp’s impeccably phrased lead guitar adds twisted melodies and harmonic complexity to Hugo’s furious riffing. On the drums, Kyle Curran pounds away at the kit like a man possessed, at times laying down a thick groove and a flurry of syncopated rhythms. Jacques Du Toit’s bass, who’s aggressive tone runs the risk of climbing out of the speakers and beating you into submission completes the engine of the band admirably. Ian Watson tops it off with a hardcore influenced approach to his vocals, intent on getting the band’s message through in no uncertain terms.

Combining the raw groove ethic of groups like Entombed, Sepultura and Pantera, with a more polished edge of modern outfi ts like The Haunted and Machine Head, BULLETSCRIPT pushes the envelope with an emphasis on solid song writing, and intense delivery. Featuring 5 power tracks that hold nothing back, this EP showcases a band committed to playing metal beyond trends, and with the necessary societal menace, that makes metal the music of choice for so many, in today’s interesting times.

BULLETSCRIPT is a band with a clear message. Open your eyes to the world around you, and question everything, taking nothing, and nobody, for granted. And play some metal while doing it!
