This Bullet will take its time
Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine will visit the Philippines for the first time and play at the Pulp Summer Slam on April 26.
The band’s self-described brand of “hard rock with metal influences (namely Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slayer)” has resulted in worldwide sales of 3,000,000 albums since their debut “The Poison” in 2005, and won the Best British Band category thrice in UK metal magazine Kerrang!’s annual awards.
In BFMV’s world, thrash riffs and tempos sit well with hook-laden melodies.
The band was rumored to be recording its follow up to last year’s “Temper Temper” album with producer Terry Date (Soundgarden, Pantera, Deftones) but vocalist/guitarist Matt Tuck has clarified that while they were talking to Date, plans fell through.
Currently, Bullet For My Valentine intends to produce the next record themselves, and the writing process is still ongoing. Their latest tune “Raising Hell” is currently part of their live set.
In this interview excerpt, the congenial and freshly scrubbed Tuck talks about facing a new audience, the rough timeline for the new record (which will amp up the aggro elements in their music) and his admiration for Queen’s Brian May and Avenged Sevenfold.
