Bullet For My Valentine Release New Album ‘Gravity, Announce In-Store Dates
The new album was released available digitally and physically, on June 29th via Search & Destroy/ Spinefarm Records.
In support of their long-awaited new album Gravity, Bullet For My Valentine have confirmed a series of UK in-store events. Following over 9 million Spotify pre-release streams of singles, ‘Over It’, ‘Piece of Me’ and ‘Letting You Go’, plus 12 million official YouTube streams, Gravity was released available digitally and physically, on June 29th via Search & Destroy/ Spinefarm Records.
The follow-up to 2015’s Venom marks BFMV’s full-length recording debut with new drummer Jason Bowld who has been touring with the group for the past two years, and bassist Jamie Mathias, who joined the band after the last disc was completed.
“Over the last 12 months, I’ve been thinking about the word ‘contemporary’ a lot,” BFMV frontman Matt Tuck said of Gravity. “And I feel this is a contemporary record. It’s not an old-school, heart-on-your-sleeve influences thing. We’ve done that so let’s move forward and make the band more interesting. We don’t want to alienate anyone… but we don’t want to write the same shit anymore. Metalheads will enjoy this. I actually feel the softer electronic parts make the heavy moments even more crushing. It’s about engaging the listener and taking them on a journey, messing with their heads a bit…”

July 02: HMV 363 London, Oxford Street @ 6:00 PM (Doors open: 5:30pm)
