Back home, Bullet For My Valentine has graced the covers of the UK's Kerrang!, Rock Sound, and Metal Hammer. They won Metal Hammer's 2006 Golden God Award for Best British Band, and the 2006 Kerrang! Award for Best UK Single for their track Tears Don't Fall. Here in America, Revolver magazine heralded the band British Import of the Year, and The Poison generated the hit singles Tears Don't Fall and All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me), with the video for All These Things I Hate going to the 1 spot on MTV2. The band has toured North America three times, and in early 2007, they sold out their first headline trek.

On January 29, 2008, Bullet For My Valentine is set to return with Scream Aim Fire (20-20/Jive/SonyBMG), the band's highly anti ted sophmore release. The 11-track assault was produced by Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Funeral For A Friend) and recorded at Sonic Ranch just outside of El Paso, TX in early 2007, and is, according to front man Matthew Matt Tuck, really melodic heavy metalcatchy, hooky choruses and full-on vocals with the music being very in-your-face and heavyit's a lot more up-tempo than The Poison, a lot more aggressive.

Scream Aim Fire, featuring the distinctive and powerful six-string dexterity of Michael Padge Padget, the unwavering instrumental groove of bassist Jason Jay James and the relentless thundering rhythms of Michael Moose Thomas, the musical backbone of Bullet is an intimidating force. With a lifetime of classic metal inspiration behind him, vocalist/guitarist Tuck is a formidable and powerful voice for the ever energetic, young metal generation.

We have stepped it up a gear, says the front-man. This alb*m is chock full of classic Bullet ingredients. Metal riffs, pounding rhythms, shredding solos and great melodies. We took everything that we learnt from The Poison,' and took up tenfold. Better, fresher, harder, sadder and more real.

Opening with the aural assault of the title track and first single -Scream Aim Fire to the hard-hitting riff slammer of Waking The Demon, and the arena-ballad epic Hearts Burst Into Fire, this alb*m will definitely catapult Bullet into a world-wide spotlight.

(The track) Scream Aim Fire' set the benchmark for the rest of the album, says Tuck. It was the moment we realized the direction of where we wanted the record to go. Lyrically, it's not a saying that anyone can relate anything else to. It's ours and the meaning is ours alone. Kill or be killed that's what this game is like. You're either on top of the game, or you are out, and we are very much still in. Our quality of song writing, our structures, our timing the songs are intense and accessible, whilst still keeping our metal roots.

Tuck believes that the band's unique accessibility lies in the fact that fans regardless of age, gender or nationality can relate to the subjects and issues tackled within their tracks.

It's important to us that fans can make a connection with our songs, says the front-man. For example, Waking The Demon' is about being bullied at school which is something that me and most of the boys went though. The track is about one day, just turning round, and deciding to not take it anymore. I'd hope that our fans can relate to that.
