BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE - NEWS
NEW BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ALBUM & FREE DOWNLOAD
Two years after crashing into the US Billboard charts at number 4 with the album ‘Scream, Aim, Fire’, Welsh four piece Bullet For My Valentine are finally set to return to the fray with the release of their hugely anticipated new album ‘Fever’ released in Ireland on 23rd April. The official first single, the blistering ‘The Last Fight’ is set to precede ‘Fever’, with a release date of 16th April, but before then, eager to get new music into their fans’ hands as quickly as possible, the band are offering album track 'Begging For Mercy’ as a FREE download. The track is available NOW at the newly launched band website - www.bulletformyvalentine.com– this track will be available for a limited time ONLY.
After working with producer Colin Richardson (Machinehead, Funeral for a Friend) on their previous two albums, 2005’s ‘The Poison’ and 2008’s ‘Scream, Aim, Fire’, the album ‘Fever’ pairs Bullet For My Valentine with producer Don Gilmore, best known for his work with Linkin Park on their first two albums ‘Hybrid Theory’ and ‘Meteora’.
The band - vocalist/guitarist Matt Tuck, guitarist Michael Paget, bassist Jason James and drummer Michael Thomas - recorded ‘Fever’ in studios both in its native Wales and in Los Angeles. The guys were named Kerrang! Best British Band in both 2008 and 2009 (after winning best newcomer in 2006).
Worldwide ‘Scream, Aim, Fire’ has sold in excess of 1 million copies and debuted in the Top 5 in Germany, Austria, Australia and number 1 in Japan and reached gold status in the UK and Canada. Their 2006 debut, ‘The Poison’, has sold a million copies worldwide and certified gold status in America, the UK, Canada and Germany. Having paid their dues supporting legendary acts such as Metallica, Guns n Roses and Iron Maiden on worldwide stadium tours, the band’s loyal fan base shows no sign of abating after selling out the 8,000 capacity Alexandra Palace in London.
In support of the new album, the band is embarking a headlining U.S. tour on 30th April. Stops for the festival veterans include New Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival and Columbus, Ohio’s Rock on the Range. Upcoming international festival highlights include the Download Festival in the United Kingdom, Germany’s massive Rock Am Ring and Rock Am Park, Sweden’s Metal Town, Belgium’s Graspop, Austria’s Nova Rock and Italy’s famed Gods Of Metal.
