BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE: Irish Dates Postponed

November 9, 2007

Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE have issued the following update:

"We regret to inform you we have had to postpone our Irish shows due to unforeseen circumstances. We're trying to re-schedule them as soon as possible — we WILL make it to Ireland this year."

Commented frontman Matt Tuck: "We are absolutely gutted to cancel these two shows. We really value all the support from the fans in Ireland — and I will make sure we get over there to cause mayhem as soon as we possibly can. 2008 will be a huge year for us and we want to share that with the Irish fans as much as anyone."

Despite director Frank Borin's recent announcement that he would helm BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's video for the song "Scream, Aim and Fire" in Australia in early September, it appears that the clip has not yet been shot. The Welsh metal band will now film the video on Saturday, November 17 at an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles area.

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has set "Scream, Aim and Fire" as the title of its new album, according to Revolver magazine. Due in February 2008 via Trustkill Records, the follow-up to 2005's "The Poison" was recorded at Sonic Ranch studios near El Paso, Texas with producer Colin Richardson (MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY, NAPALM DEATH) and will contain 11 songs, all of which frontman Matthew Tuck describes as "really melodic heavy metal. It's not 'The Poison II'; but at the same time it's got everything that you'd expect BULLET to have — really catchy, hooky choruses and full-on vocals, and the music is very much in-your-face and heavy. We've still got songs that are like 'Tears Don't Fall', but they're much more '80s-arena influenced. It's stuff that in 10 years' time will probably be really uncool to listen to; but in 20 years' time it's going to be the best thing ever," he laughed.

Tuck added, "The majority of the album is in a totally new gear for us. We're a band that doesn't see the point in standing still or doing the same thing twice, you know? The only thing we could do was completely blow 'The Poison' out of the water, and we think we've done that."

"The Poison" has sold 339,000 copies in the United States since coming out in February of 2006 (the CD was issued in Europe in October 2005),according to Nielsen SoundScan.
