It's a shame that Paul has 'left the building'. I am 37 now, and almost 20 years into metal, and still consider Bounded by Blood as one of my favourites. Stuck in the past ? Nah, I've had my share of 'new' metal: Slipknot, Machine Head, Korn, Coal Chamber, Mudvane; you all know the names. But it doesn't get near BBB. Why ? Of course the Holt-Hunolt twin performance is unsurpassed, even by their later albums. And let's not forget Tom's drums: 10 on the Richter's scale (you really are a sick man). But what gives Bounded its intensity was(is) the the pure violence of Paul's voice. Was he a great vocalist ? We all know the answer to that. But he sounded like he just got back from a 24 hour lesson in violence, and ready to take off for your house any second and personally 'slice you through the door'. I do not doubt that he was a sweet guy, but his voice was from hell, and that's what gives BBB its unique, ultra-violent sound. Steve, you're doing a great job, but no-one can beat Satan himself.

Paul rules !
