BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE Taps LINKIN PARK Producer For New Album
April 8, 2009Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE have tapped Don Gilmore (LINKIN PARK, TRAPT, AVRIL LAVIGNE, GOOD CHARLOTTE, THE VERONICAS, PEARL JAM, TRUST COMPANY, DURAN DURAN, LACUNA COIL) to produce their next album, tentatively due before the end of the year. The CD is being recorded in London and Wales.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE guitarist/vocalist Matt Tuck recently spoke to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine about the songwriting process for the band's next album.
The podcast containing the entire interview is available for download as an MP3 audio file at this location.
Regarding lyrical themes for the new material, Tuck said, "There's one song that's about not being able to have what you want. Being in the band, it doesn't happen much. When it comes to girls, you can have the pick of the bunch, but you always want what you can't have, y'know… but it's this one chick, man… so it's a song about obsession."
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE recently re-released "Scream Aim Fire" with four bonus tracks that were recorded and "canned" before the band decided to write more songs. In the podcast, Matt discusses why they were put aside and how they are, in fact, some of the best songs the band wrote at the time. "It's a shame they'll never shine like some other tracks, because they're just bonus tracks. It doesn't take a genius to spot the difference between my voice on the 'Poison' and 'Scream…'; something was up. So I re-recorded the songs after my voice got better." He added, "I know I could have sung that album much better."
