Já nos primeiros instantes de "A Time for Roses", debute do combo de Denton, Texas, Blood Bells, a primeira coisa que veio na minha cabeça foi "Batcave"!!
Um mix soturno, rápido e agressivo do gótico clássico e do punk, em tons ásperos e angustiantes, o Blood Bells desfila os nove petardos em pouco menos de trinta minutos, sem o menor tempo para qualquer respiro.
Definitivamente os bons tempos da Batcave estão sendo revividos e reatualizados, cortesia do Blodd Bells.
