Bullet For My Valentine - New Record and Tour
Bullet For My Valentine, the Welsh quartet that tore things up this past year and a bit with their 2006 debut “The Poison”, are back with the follow-up “Scream Aim Fire”. The record will be released on January 29. The band --- Matthew "Matt" Tuck/vocals, Michael "Padge" Paget/Guitar, Michael "Moose" Thomas/drums, and Jason "Jay" James/Bass --- have also signed onto the 2008 edition of the Taste of Chaos tour (dates below) which begins February 29.
“The Poison” has sold over a million copies and is considered by many to be one of the best metal debuts ever recorded. The new record promises to live up to that promising beginning with the album's title track anchored at the #1 Most Added track position at CMJ's Loud Rock chart, and also #1 Most Added at FMQB's Metal Detector chart. “Scream Aim Fire” was again produced by Colin Richardson in Texas and is said to be “more up-tempo and a lot more aggressive” by the band.
2008 promises to be a busy year for the boys who cut their teeth sharing stages with bands such as Metallica, Iron Maiden and Guns N’ Roses. The American dates for the Taste of Chaos which also features Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu on the main stage, are as follows (Canadian dates are to be announced in January):
