New Zealand stalwarts of metal, Wellingtons Bulletbelt, have unleashed their fifth album in fourteen years, the multifaceted Burn it Up. A record that explores new directions yet is still pure Bulletbelt.
The addition of Diego Attinger on vocals has allowed Bulletbelt to expand its sound into new territories. The Death thrash elements are still there as on the excellent ‘’City of One’’ and the uncompromising ‘’ “Arminius” yet it is his ability to go from growl to clean vocals on the Excellent ‘’House Of Death’’ along with a cracking riff and solo that just elevates it to the next level. ‘’Cosmic’’ is a piano led nineties inspired alternative moment that allows the warm textured vocals really room to shine. At times Burn It Up is a pure metal record, as on the title track that captures their live spirit, no triggers or patches required, all energy and power, driving rhythms and excellent riffs. “No Afterlife’’ is a slower mid-paced statement of intent, powerful with more excellent vocals and the superb guitarwork of Josh O’Brien. ‘’Incendium Magnum Romae’’ has some guitar work and a chorus that commands a physical reaction.

A surprisingly nuanced offering able to capture multiple genres without ever sacrificing the Bulletbelt ideology. Burn it up is one of the albums that lingers long after it’s finished. Full of great ideas and excellent musicianship it is a tough pure power metal record that excels in its delivery yet also contains hidden subtleties and healthy metal-induced moments of melody. A celebration of the individual and strong of heart!
