BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE recently filmed a video for the new track "Scream, Aim and Fire" in Australia with director Frank Borin (TRAPT, GOOD CHARLOTTE). According to the director, the video treatment "is a social commentary about the facade of war and the deceitful tactics used to recruit the young men of our country."

The song is expected to be released as the first single from the band's new album, tentatively due early 2008.

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE frontman Matt Tuck told Revolver magazine that he is writing meaner, less syrupy melodies for the group's upcoming CD, which the band started recording in January at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas with producer Colin Richardson (MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY, NAPALM DEATH). He is also avoiding lyrics about relationships.

"We want to be more metal all across the board," Tuck told Revolver. "On their second album, a lot of bands try to please their record company by doing something more commercial. We didn't want to fall into that trap."

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has written 14 songs for the as-yet-untitled CD, including "Waking the Demon", a cut that's definitely not suitable for KROQ or MTV. "It's about getting revenge on a bully at school by slicing pieces off him," Tuck told Revolver. "There's some really sick shit in there, so I'm happy."

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's debut album, "The Poison", has sold more than 330,000 copies in the U.S. since its February 2006 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
