Bullet For My Valentine's Tuck Promises Angry New Album

06/15/2015
. (TeamRock Radio) Matt Tuck says he worked hard to make Bullet For My Valentine's fifth album Venom an angry-spirited work - because that's what their fans wanted.

The follow-up to 2013's Temper Temper is released on August 14, and it's their first to feature bassist Jamie Mathias, who replaced Jay James earlier this year. The record sees BFMV delving into their pre-record deal days for inspiration.

Tuck tells Billboard: "People were wanting a pissed-off band, and it's hard to write stuff like that when I don't feel it on a personal level. So it was more writing this style of song that I did before the band got signed - making a conscious effort to do something that wasn't very nice."

He reflects that "some of the most horrible, nasty lyrics are some of our most popular songs" and adds: "It's weird how people have such a strong, positive reaction to lyrics which aren't very nice at all. But I guess that's why people love our band in the first place." here.
