Bullet For My Valentine have announced a standalone reissue of their breakthrough EP Hand Of Blood, giving fans a fresh way to revisit the early recordings that helped set the band on the path to arena-level success.
The release lands as part of the ongoing 20th anniversary celebrations around The Poison era, with frontman Matt Tuck reflecting on the milestone: “I honestly can’t believe it’s been twenty years since the release of The Poison and Hand Of Blood, and what an incredible twenty years it’s been. I feel so proud of what we’ve achieved as a band in the last two decades and it all started with those recordings.”

From the band’s first sparks through to a career that helped shape modern British Metal, Hand Of Blood remains a vital snapshot, a Heavy Metal moment for a generation that grew up on riffs, hooks, and heart-on-sleeve choruses.
