Bullet For My Valentine, Of Mice & Men, Nothing More, SHVPES
Finding themselves five albums in and long established as one of the biggest British metal acts in music history, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE have been busy rewriting their own future - finding new ways to invent intelligent noise and remaining unshackled by the legacy that comes with being masters of the trade. After initially forming as Jeff Killed John in 1998, eventually securing a five-album major label deal, their 2005 debut, ‘The Poison’, and 2008 follow-up, ‘Scream Aim Fire’, would provide an injection of what heavy music was very much lacking at the time.
Consecutive full-lengths, ‘Fever’, ‘Temper Temper’ and ‘Venom’, would cement their stature as modern masters, selling millions of albums worldwide and being crowned “Best British Band” at the Kerrang! awards three years in a row - where they’ve also been awarded for “Best Single”, “Best Live Band” and “Best British Newcomer”. It’s not just the press and fans that have afforded them such faith - even the heroes that inspired them in the first place, bands like IRON MAIDEN and METALLICA, have personally selected BFMV to hit the road and share the stage with them.
Returning with new opus ‘Gravity’, the Welsh quartet have stretched their creative wings like never before, delicately balancing film-score electronica and icy synths in their trademark hellfire of hard rock. Yet, in many ways, its 11 tracks are the mark of a band at their most focused and refined - utilising an expansive whirlpool of noise to clarify their message, rather than overcomplicate it. Opener ‘Leap Of Faith’ is as devilishly catchy and heavy as any of BFMV’s biggest hits to date, while the stripped-down acoustics of ‘Breathe Underwater’ capture a side to them that’s never been heard before. With touring drummer Jason Bowld joining founding singer/ guitarist Matt Tuck, fellow axeman Michael “Padge” Paget and bassist Jamie Mathias, this is a band reborn - in more ways than one…
