Description

Bullet For My Valentines self-titled, seventh album sees the band open a bold new chapter with what is easily their heaviest, fiercest release so far. I think its the most ferocious side of Bullet For My Valentine that Ive ever known, adds lead guitarist Michael Padge Paget. Its time for us to put out a really angry, heavy, aggressive record. I wanted to come out guns blazing, fucking middle fingers flying, and just go for the throat, agrees vocalist/lead guitarist Matt Tuck. I think this is a far more aggressive, intense part of Bullet For My Valentine. Its always been there. Ive just never opened the floodgates on it. I want to take peoples heads off in a metaphorical way.

True to their word, the first single, Knives, arrives like a punch in the face. 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 bands 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 cements its place in the metal pantheon.
