Having released their world wide smash sophomore album 'Scream Aim Fire' on
the 28th January, Bullet For My Valentine are set to release 3rd single 'Waking
the Demon' on June 16th through Columbia as an iTunes exclusive download only
with a digital comic book based around the track itself.
Bullet are becoming a genuine, world conquering UK act and are doing something
no British heavy rock band has done for decades, sell records and concert
tickets in every key territory across the globe. On week of the album release,
the band were the biggest selling heavy rock act in the world and 'Waking the
Demon' (3rd UK single, 2nd US single) looks set to cement that standing.
'Scream Aim Fire' the has hit the top 3 slot album charts in the USA (number 3
on the Billboard 100), UK (number 3), Japan (number 1), Germany (3), Australia
(3) and the rest of Europe, the band have had a Radio 1 B-list, XFM day-time and
MTV2 A-list hit with 2nd single 'Hearts Burst into Fire', a sold out UK tour
(London date at Brixton Academy), graced magazine covers both sides of the
Atlantic (Kerrang, Rock Sound, Big Cheese, Total Guitar, Music Week and more in
UK, Revolver in USA), and joined the US monster Taste of Chaos tour.
B4MV will continue touring through May and June across Japan, the far East and
Australia before heading back to Europe for all major festivals (including
Reading and Leeds, Download, Rock AM Park and Rock AM Ring, Grasspop and Nova
Rock) and then back to the US for a headline tour. With a second 'Scream Aim
Fire' UK headline tour in the pipeline, further releases and worldwide tours and
appearances, the tale of the 4 Welsh lads from Bridgend taking over the world
looks set to extend well into 2009!

Artisan News Service recently caught up with Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY
VALENTINE to get their thoughts on being kicked off ROB ZOMBIE's tour because
they complained about how they were being treated by the headliners.
BULLET's 2006 trek, which also featured LACUNA COIL in the middle slot, came to
a premature close after frontman Matt Tuck posted a rant on BULLET's official
message board calling the ZOMBIE camp "money-grubbing fucks" for forcing the
other bands on the tour to sell their T-shirts at inflated prices. [See previous

"Well, we stand for what we...we stand up for ourselves, really, and I guess he
didn't like what we said," drummer Michael "Moose" Thomas told Artisan News
Service. "Whatever. It don't bother us." Guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget added,
"We got dropped from the tour but we joined the GUNS N' ROSES tour, so it kind
of worked out well for us, you know. Yeah, kind of. Cheers, Rob!"
So does Matt Tuck feel any ill will about the Zombie situation looking back at
it in hindsight?
"No, I sleep soundly each night," he said.
As previously reported, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE bassist Jason "Jay" James
rejoined the band in Brisbane, Australia on Tuesday night (May 6) as the Welsh
quartet resumed its world tour in support of the band's second album, "Scream
Aim Fire". James left the group during the final two weeks of its stint on the
U.S. Taste of Chaos tour last month when his daughter became gravely ill back
home in Wales. Although the band attempted to play two shows with a guitar tech
subbing for James, they quickly scrapped their remaining five shows on that trek
and headed home.
Matt Tuck discussed the situation earlier this week with an Australian radio
station, saying, "Yeah, (Jason's) back. He's ready to roll. Everything's cool
back home. It was a very, very horrible situation at the time...But everything
is cool with his little girl — she's not 100 percent, but she's on the mend. And
he can relax and just do what he does best, which is rock out."
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE will remain in Australia through mid-May before heading
to Japan for four dates. Following that, the band will begin a European tour on
June 2 in Ireland, wrapping up in early July in Finland.
The latest single and video from "Scream Aim Fire" is "Waking The Demon".
SCREAM,
AIM, FIRE
