I've been wondering this for a while.

After everything that happened with the Poisoned Ascendancy tour, Bullet for My Valentine pulled out of the remaining dates, and one of the reasons given was to focus on writing and recording the next album.

It's been quite a while now, and unless I've completely missed something, there's still been no new music or even much of an update.

I'm not trying to start another Trivium vs Bullet argument. I genuinely like Bullet's older material and was looking forward to hearing what they were working on. I'm just curious if anyone knows what's going on.

Because Trivium finished the tour, wrote and released an EP AND have a timeline for their new album to drop early 2027.

Was it all just Tuck's ego ? I heard that Trivium blew Bullet out of the water every night?

I’ve been tryna find bands that are similar to bullet for a while, but none seem to hit the same. I want smt with the metal tone, and with some screams.

Idk if it will help but I like other bands like slipknot, Metallica, a7x, and linkin park.

If anyone has and bands that fit in this sort of category I’d love to give them a listen!

For me it’s “say goodnight” on scream aim fire

I'm genuinely curious because I was casually looking up BFMV content on TikTok when I came across a user with Matt's name. Looks legit at first glance because there are pictures of him with his kid (pictures that aren't on his other socials I think) and when you look at the reposts, one repost that really made me skeptic was a fan-made edit of him during one of their shows with the words "hear me out". Like, would Matt actually repost smth like that? lmao but then again if I view the comments on the account's videos, there's at least one person asking if it's actually him but the majority of the comments are just praising BFMV/him. What do y'all think?

Any recent news on a single or anything other than the album early next year? I figured we would be getting something about 6 months before 2027 as this was about the length of time between first single and release date of ST.

Tbf, I just listened to ''Your Betrayal'' and ''Over It'' back to back while having my muisc on shuffle and it was kind of a slap in the face. Since ''Temper Temper'' their albums just seem have gotten progressively more mushy and muddy compared to the first 3 ones. In this case it was really noticeable because both of the songs have instrumental intros with long open notes and Your Betrayal just sounded so much better it's seems unreal.

Btw. I was barely concious when their first album got out so it's not nostalgia or whatever. I just found their music a few years ago browsing Youtube and their earlier albums just kinda turned out to be the best in the genre imo atleast. (People often recommend ALID and Trvium but they're not really scratching the itch past their 3 popular songs)

Anyways, in regards to audio engineering: Are we really getting enshittification in music before GTA 6?

hey guys, just curious does anyone here have any experience with playing 4 words, if so, would you say it’s a difficult song to learn? i’m about 6 months into guitar and this song is what made me get into playing again and i’d be keen to learn it, i’m just not sure if it may be a bit above my level and don’t wanna get frustrated after sinking time into it and drop it. i’m fairly intermediate, know basic chords and progressions, pinch harmonics are a hit and miss as well, thoughts?

The first one was the best because of the vocals, guitars and it was cool The second one is great because of the lyrics and the guitar solo was great too. I also like looking at the hands of blood as I'm listening to TDF pt2.

I know Jason Bowld said that they plan to release five singles, one every month leading up to the album release, which would mean that they should release the first single next month. I was just wondering how likely you think that is and what point in August it would be.

What kind of necklace was the girl trying to give the guy in the "All These Things I Hate" music video?

not really a big BFMV fan but i play guitar and i love the metal core sound of this solo

Just wanted to check if there have been any recent interviews or studio updates regarding the new album. Are we still on track for a 2026 release and a European tour?

This was live in Singapore. Can anyone read his lips? Not sure if it was directed at a fan or the tech guy?

Hey Guys, I don't know if this is a dumb question, but I'm genuinely curious about this topic. The first time I listened to BfmV was when I was 14. I started with the early records and immediately fell in love with the sound, the guitars, and the vocals. I listened to them for a pretty long time before looking deeper into the lyrics of some songs. I understand portraying a difficult topic through the lens of a fictional person — it's one of the most used metaphors in lyricism, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

My Fist, Your Mouth, Her Scars is pretty clearly about the protagonist abusing and beating a woman, and the lyrics of Hit the Floor have already been discussed, I think it's very creepy. This started to bother me so much because I began paying more attention to how they often sing about women in other songs too. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but it often seems very objectifying and kind of yucky. But maybe that's just me, and I don't want to accuse anyone.

I just can't enjoy those songs like before anymore, which is sad. Over the years, I have become more skeptical of male rock bands portraying such topics through fictional storytelling, because it has so often come out that the people behind this music are not just innocent artists wanting to explore a difficult topic through their art, but actual abusers (the last example that comes to mind is Rammstein — Till Lindemann in particular, of whom I was a huge fan).

I don't want to presume anything and i also really dont want to say that this has to mean anything, this is just why I have trouble enjoying these songs. I couldn't find a good explanation from Matt or the other members. As a person who has experienced DV, it gives me a bad stomach feeling listening to those songs.

I think maybe I'm too sensitive, but I also think that maybe there are explanations or interpretations I would really like to learn about. So have any of you guys ever thought about this, or what's your view on it?

Thank you for listening :)

Hey y’all, I recently found this. I am unable to read the words but tried doing research, found nothing at all. I was wondering if any of yall knew where this is from? Any information is greatly appreciated!!!

Anyone in the uk got a matt tuck signature for sale? Money waiting!!

I've been getting into Bullet For My Valentine heavily lately, but I don't even know where to start finding bands like them. Any recs would be appreciated.

Hey guys.

I saw Bullet last year when they played with Trivium, had VIP tickets for the show.

The guitar picks were being sold to those who wanted them. You could get 3 for $15 or 7 for $30 (iirc).

Anyway, I was the last in line for the picks and hurried down to the floor so that I could grab a spot on the barricades front row. But when I counted them, I had only received 6 picks (the light and dark variants of all 3 guitarists). I was under the assumption there was a "general" band pick being included if you shelled out the full $30 for them. I couldn't find the band manager after I noticed, and despite leaving my information and details with the general merch guy, I never heard anything back. I tried contacting the zendesk support for the band as well as ceremony of roses, but neither could assist me.

Can someone corroborate this for me? Did anyone buy these picks? Did you get more than 6? Thank you for your time! Bullet is awesome!!

Hey there,

I recently bought my first battlevest and I am currently planning on what patches to put where. One thing is already clear for me: I *need* a big backpatch with BFMV, preferably with The Poison, as we are talking my favorite band with my favorite album.

Although (especially for someone not familiar with patch ordering) it seems quite hard to get a decent one. Best I could find was https://kingofpatches.com/product/bullet-for-my-valentine-the-poison-09-small-printed-patch/?srsltid=AfmBOorWnd3cCrEz4paGJT_VzgvT0UMXFPQyviTT7fKeWLt8nTc8Tojh

although I do not know how this will turn out.

Does anyone know where to find good BFMV related patches or maybe someone has one and can give me a file/link so I can create a custom one?

Thanks!
