Backdoor Man Review: Denmark’s Bloody Dice have unleashed their debut full-length album on the unsuspecting public and they get things off to a fine start with the opening band title track which is a sturdy, atmospheric rocker that if it isn’t already a single, then it probably should be.

# Bloody Dice - Self-Titled This Danish debut merits attention for its confident navigation of classic rock territory with contemporary sensibilities. The album opens with an atmospheric title track that establishes a sturdy foundation, suggesting the band understands how to build momentum across a full-length work.
