Hand of Blood is the second EP by Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine, released on 22 August 2005 through Trustkill Records. The EP is a reissue of the 2004 self-titled EP with slightly altered track listing and new artwork. Hand of Blood included the single "4 Words (To Choke Upon)", which was initially a Japan-only bonus track included on the aforementioned EP. This release also spawned accompanying music videos for "4 Words" and "Hand of Blood". The songs "4 Words (To Choke Upon)" and "Cries in Vain" were later included on the band's full-length debut, The Poison. The title track also appears on the limited edition of the same album.
AllMusic asserted that the EP is "essentially a deluxe version" of the band's self-titled 2004 EP.[1]
