Bullet For My Valentine - the hard rock/metal heavyweights whose spectacular global success, live and on record, has seen them fly the British flag from dizzying and wondrous heights - have signed a worldwide deal with Search And Destroy/Spinefarm Records (UMG).

With five studio albums under their belt - The Poison (2005), Scream Aim Fire (2008), Fever' (2010), Temper Temper (2013) and Venom (2015) - and more than 5 million record sales worldwide to their name, this award-winning quartet (formed in Wales in 1998) have been proudly riffin' their way around the globe since their teenage years. Inspired by heavy metal music's great and glorious (Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden), BFMV are universally revered as a colossal force to be reckoned with - stadium fillers, festival headliners... a new wave of rock royalty.

Led into action by Matt Tuck (vocalist / rhythm guitar), the lineup is completed by Michael Paget (lead guitar), Michael 'Moose' Thomas (drums) and latest recruit, Jamie Mathias (bass).

Most recent full-length studio offering, Venom, saw the band reuniting with producer Colin Richardson to create what is widely acknowledged - with fans and critics alike - as the most potent Bullet For My Valentine statement of intent thus far...

Since the release of The Poison (now certified gold), Bullet For My Valentine have notched up an impressive array of international facts 'n' stats: along with chart-topping success, these include Top 10 chart entries, #1 Rock Chart positions, arena tours, key spots at the biggest festivals around the world plus a plethora of awards.

Now, with Venom taking things to new heights plus a year of high-profile international touring ahead, Bullet For My Valentine have joined forces with Search and Destroy/Spinefarm Records in a new global deal.

Bullet for My Valentine frontman, Matt Tuck, commented: “We're very proud and excited to announce our signing to Search And Destroy / Spinefarm Records. It feels great to be part of a family that truly believes in the band and is ready to take us to the next level. It's been an incredible journey so far - but with the Search And Destroy / Spinefarm team behind us, it feels like we've just begun. Here's to the future."

Bullet For My Valentine will return to North America for a second invasion in support of their recently released album, Venom. Special guests will include Asking Alexandria and Cane Hill on select dates. The tour will start in Jacksonville, FL on April 30th at Welcome To Rockville festival and will wrap up in San Antonio on May 29th at River City Rockfest.

“Attention Army of Noise U.S.! We haven't even left your country yet, but we're super excited to announce that we're coming back to the US this May for another run of shows on our Venom World Tour 15/16. We're gonna be hitting a ton of places we couldn't get to this time around so make sure you get yourself our new BFMV App to check and see if we’re coming to a town near you. Thank you and we'll see you all very soon.” – Matt Tuck
