BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE Frontman Interviewed By KERRANG! Magazine (Video)

June 15, 2013

Kerrang! magazine conducted an interview with vocalist/guitarist Matt Tuck of Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE at this year's Download festival, which is taking place June 14-16 at Donington Park in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Tuck gave the magazine the lowdown on BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's forthcoming U.K. arena tour and looked back on his six Download appearances. You can now watch the chat below.

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's fourth album, "Temper Temper", sold 44,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD arrived in stores on February 12 via RCA.

The Welsh quartet changed the way they approached making an album this time around, with guitarist/vocalist Matt Tuck and drummer Michael "Moose" Thomas traveling to Thailand to do the initial writing and recording for the album. Tuck told The Pulse Of Radio why they made the trip. "It was just nice being in a studio 24/7, really, you know, with no distractions from home and stuff," he said. "So that was kind of the main reason why we went there and it just worked out well, you know, because we didn't have any pressures from having to travel, having to cook your own food — just all the stuff that is an everyday process obviously takes a lot of time out of the day to be creative. So just being there, being able to write 24/7, was a huge advantage."

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE recently headlined the fifth edition of the "HardDrive Live" tour, which kicked off on April 12 in Denver. Joining them were main support HALESTORM, plus special guests YOUNG GUNS and openers STARS IN STEREO. The trek was sponsored by "HardDrive".

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE will release a brand new single, "P.O.W.", on June 17.
