Hailing from Bridgend, Wales, Bullet for My Valentine burst onto the metal scene in 2005 with their debut album ‘The Poison’, a brutal blend of metalcore, melody and raw emotion that quickly earned them a global fanbase. That record lit the fuse on a career that would see them become one of the UK’s biggest modern metal exports. Over the years, their sound has evolved – heavier, sharper, and more refined – without losing the intensity that made them stand out. 2015’s ‘Venom’ is a great place to start if you don’t their music that well. Still infused with their metalcore roots, the album also offers the accessibility of their later work. Their most recent, self-titled album (2021) embraces darker tones and blistering heaviness. Earlier this year they sold the Lotto Arena in Antwerp and now they’re here to wreak more havoc. #GMM25
