Bullet For My Valentine Reveals "Venom" Album Details

Bullet For My Valentine today unveils plans to release 5th studio album "Venom" on August 14th via RCA Records.

Check out first song "No Way Out" below. New album "Venom" was produced by Carl Bown and Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium) at Metropolis Studio in London.

“It's pretty hard to sum up an entire record after spending so much time writing and recording it and all the blood, sweat and tears that have come with this one especially,” says frontman Matt Tuck. “It wasn't easy revisiting some very dark places to come up with lyrical content for this one, but once I knew where it was heading and I was comfortable with letting certain things out - all hell broke loose. It's easily the most aggressive record we've ever done and lyrically it will no doubt touch a nerve with a lot of people that listen to it. I cannot express enough how proud I am of it, and can't wait for everyone out there to hear it too. We've reinvented who we are and are ready to take on the world once more.”

Discussing the "No Way Out Track," Tuck adds: “To write this track I had to put myself into a very dark place, a place I hadn't been to for a while mentally because of how my life is now, compared to what it was before the band exploded. It is one of, if not the, heaviest tracks we've ever recorded musically and lyrically. I've lived with it for a while now but still every time I hear it, it gives me chills. Hold on tight it's a hell of a ride.”

In addition to the news of the upcoming record, Bullet For My Valentine has also announced the recruitment of fellow Welsh musician Jamie Mathias as the group's new bassist and backup vocalist.
