Welsh bashers Bullet For My Valentine dominate the album charts once again, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart and #8 on the Top 200 Chart with Venom (RCA Records). Venom also debuted at #1 in Australia, #2 in Germany, #3 in the United Kingdom, and #4 in Canada on the album charts, besting or matching their previous album chart debuts spots internationally. Venom is their third #1 Hard Rock Chart debut in the US and their fifth studio album.

Produced by Carl Bown and Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium) at Metropolis Studio in London, Venom is an unrelenting, fierce step forward for Bullet For My Valentine. Their heaviest record to date sinks its teeth into listeners with a powerful delivery by vocalist/guitarist Matt Tuck, ferocious riffs by guitarist Michael “Padge” Paget and rapid-fire rhythm courtesy of drummer Michael “Moose” Thomas. On Venom the trio maintains their signature balance of heavy, coupled with surging melody, and pushes themselves to the next level.

“It's pretty hard to sum up an entire record after spending so much time writing and recording it and all the blood, sweat and tears that have come with this one especially,” says frontman Matt Tuck. “It wasn't easy revisiting some very dark places to come up with lyrical content for this one, but once I knew where it was heading and I was comfortable with letting certain things out - all hell broke loose. It's easily the most aggressive record we've ever done and lyrically it will no doubt touch a nerve with a lot of people that listen to it. I cannot express enough how proud I am of it, and can't wait for everyone out there to hear it too. We've reinvented who we are and are ready to take on the world once more.”
