Rising from the small town of Bridgend, Wales, Bullet for My Valentine has become one of the defining bands in modern metal. Their music blends melodic metalcore, thrash elements, and hard rock influences, creating a powerful, emotionally driven sound that resonates with fans across generations.

With anthemic choruses, soaring guitar solos, and intense breakdowns, the band has maintained a consistent presence in the heavy metal world for over two decades, influencing countless artists while evolving their own sound along the way.

Bullet for My Valentine started as a cover band under the name Jeff Killed John, performing Metallica and Nirvanatracks in local Welsh venues. By 2003, they had completely rebranded, focusing on original material that would define their identity.

Their 2005 debut album, The Poison, was a game-changer. Hits like “Tears Don’t Fall” and “All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)” quickly established them as one of the most exciting new metalcore bands of the time. The album received critical acclaim, paving the way for their breakthrough success in both the UK and the US.

Over the years, their sound has progressed and adapted, from the heavier thrash influence of Scream Aim Fire (2008) to the melodic refinement of Fever (2010). Albums like Venom (2015) and Gravity (2018) experimented with new directions, keeping the band relevant and evolving without losing their signature intensity.

Their latest release, Bullet for My Valentine (2021), saw them returning to their heavier roots, pleasing longtime fans while attracting a new audience. Now, as they gear up for their eighth studio album, set for 2025, expectations are higher than ever.
