Bullet For My Valentine Having Radio Success Prior To US Release

It's still two weeks before the official U.S. radio add date, but Welsh metalers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE are already hot on U.S. radio with "Scream Aim Fire," the title track from their upcoming album, out January 29.

For next week's charts, "Scream Aim Fire" is:

#1 MOST ADDED at CMJ's Loud Rock chart
#1 MOST ADDED at FMQB's Metal Detector chart
#2 MOST ADDED at Radio & Records' Active Rock chart
#4 MOST ADDED at Radio & Records' Alternative chart

On top of that, the band is the #2 major label metal band across all of MySpace.

"Scream Aim Fire" is the title track from Bullet For My Valentine's sophomore release, due out January 29. The band saw their 2006 debut album, "The Poison," dubbed "One of the finest debut albums in rock history" by a major UK daily, while it sailed past the million sales mark - selling 350,000 in the U.S. alone.

"Scream Aim Fire" was produced by Colin Richardson (Machinehead, Funeral For A Friend) who also produced "The Poison," and was recorded at Sonic Ranch near El Paso, TX earlier this year. The eleven new songs are, according to frontman Matthew Tuck, "really melodic heavy metal...catchy, hooky choruses and full-on vocals, with the music being very in-your-face and heavy...it's a lot more uptempo [than 'The Poison'], a lot more aggressive."

Bullet For My Valentine will headline a tour of the UK and Europe starting in late January, and will then head to the U.S. in late February. Details to be announces shortly.
