Bullet For My Valentine Announce Self Titled Seventh Studio Album

---

Bullet For My Valentine have announced their self-titled, seventh studio album ‘Bullet For My Valentine’. The new album is set to be released on October 22 via Spinefarm / Search & Destroy and will see the band open a bold new chapter. It’s easily their heaviest, fiercest album so far.

“This is the beginning of Bullet 2.0,” vocalist and lead guitarist Matt Tuck says. “It signifies where we are right now. The music is fresh, it’s aggressive, it’s more visceral and passionate than it’s ever been.”

The new self-titled album follows the success of 2018’s ‘Gravity’, which saw the metal juggernauts’ catalogue surpass 1 Billion streams in the U.S. The last album cycle also saw Bullet For My Valentine play their biggest shows to date, including a UK arena tour and a massive show at London’s Alexandra Palace. But this time around, the band has taken things back to basics. The new album is stacked with squealing solos and monstrous riffs that will delight fans — both new and old.

“I think it’s the most ferocious side of Bullet For My Valentine that I’ve ever known,” lead guitarist Michael “Padge” Paget said. “It’s time for us to put out a really angry, heavy, aggressive record. I just can’t wait to grimace on stage!”

“I wanted to come out guns blazing, fucking middle fingers flying, and just go for the throat,” Tuck agrees. “I think this is a far more aggressive, intense part of Bullet For My Valentine. It’s always been there. I’ve just never opened the floodgates on it. I want to take people’s heads off in a metaphorical way.”

Tuck began writing the album in September 2019 before the Coronavirus pandemic brought things screeching to a halt in early 2020. But in June 2020, Tuck and long-time producer, Carl Bown, who co-produced the band’s 2015 album, Venom, and produced and mixed Gravity, picked up the pace again. Together, they hunkered down at Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, where the remainder of the album was written. Aptly self-titled, the band has triumphed, creating an album that will cement its place in the metal pantheon.

The band have also shared the albums first single ‘Knives’, check it out here:
