Bullet For My Valentine’s Matt Tuck: “I Had A Huge Point To Prove With New Album”
Matt Tuck frontman of Bullet For My Valentine spoke to Hammer about new album, ‘Fever’.
Bullet For My Valentine have returned to form with their forthcoming album, ‘Fever’, and singer/guitarist Matt Tuck talked Hammer through the vocal lines, an area that could be marked ‘Most Improved’ since ‘Scream Aim Fire’.
Matt: “We wanted to do something fresh and exciting but that was still us. Having [producer] Don Gilmore was a very conscious decision. We didn’t want him to change us as musicians, just help with the vocals and get the best possible performances out of us. It’s a weird thing singing in the studio, you don’t get the adrenaline the energy the buzz, it’s you in front of a microphone looking at a guy staring at you. To get the performances out in the studio was hard but don was amazing. We rewrote the lyrics and melodies up to five times on some songs because he didn’t think they were strong enough. We worked insanely hard to get the vocal lines different but still Bullet. The vocals took linger than everything else on the album put together. It was brutal work but I personally thought I had a huge point to prove so that’s why I stuck at it.”
“Everyone’s buzzing about this one. WE just tried to get that energy and excitement and vibe back into the band because the ‘Scream, Aim, Fire’ sessions just ripped our hearts out of wanting to be in a band.”

A MH stage at Download?! Awesome.
Who cares? bullet are shite
Ugh. THATS NOT GARAGE.
i havent liked anything of theirs since their EP. Poision was ok as an album but i was expecting more punch. S.A.F. was just a mess as far as music goes. im not sure about the new album. some songs sound great and some sound really weak. i may have to find somewhere to ‘borrow’ this before i buy.
Scream Aim Fire had Waking the Demon. That was the single good song. Bullet are a bit shit now…
Of course he had a massive point to prove! Everybody knows they are shit! And whats more, he actually cares what everybody says about him! Lame! Go cry to ya mama she’s waiting for ya! Haha!
I loved Scream Aim Fire o.o”
Funny how when S,A,F came out they were all ‘yeah! this is the direction we want to take!’
Let’s hope the new one’s better, anyway.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that the second stage i.e the same stage 30STM are headlining?…
I’ve no problem with Bullet or Stone Sour (love SS actually) but them…
the only point they had to prove was that they are still faggots that use metal for the only sake of pretending to be cool.

He’s right… Their lyrics are awful, like ‘written by a 15 yr old’ awful.
If this producer’s sorted that out, then could be pretty good.
Umm, Scream Aim Fire wasn’t…terrible; there are a few songs on it that are okay, but I still liked the Poison a lot better. I really hope this album is more like the Poison.
wow i laughed pretty hard at the haters
