Bullet For My Valentine - To All Our Fans Around The World : It is with regret that Bullet For My Valentine has to announce that Jay James is no longer a member of the band. Jay has been a part of this band for well over 12 years and part of our lives forever, and we're gonna miss him as much as we know you guys are too. We wanna wish him all the best and success with whatever he chooses to do next and will always be grateful for his contribution and sacrifices he made for this band. We'll announce a replacement for Jay when we feel the time is right, but until then we're gonna be busy and focused recording our next record and making sure its the best album we've ever made. 2015 is already shaping up to be a massive year for us with lots of exciting things going on behind the scenes which we'll be announcing as soon as we can. Thank you all for your continued support. - Matt, Padge, Moose.

Bullet For My Valentine - Biography : Since their inception in 2003, the Welsh quartet Bullet For My Valentine have been taking cues from '80s metal bands and the punk-infused metal of the new millennium to make melodic, metallic, dark rock songs. Originating from Bridgend, South Wales - a breeding ground for likeminded groups like Funeral For A Friend and Lostprophets - the group consists of childhood friends Matthew Tuck (Vocals/Guitars), Michael Paget (Guitars/Backing Vocals), Jason James (Bass/Vocals) and Michael Thomas (Drums/Percussion). Everyone in the group, with the sole exception of James, previously performed together for a few years in Jeff Killed John. One day before entering the recording studio, though, Jeff Killed John's original bassist abruptly walked out, effectively breaking up the band with his exit.

Regrouping under the name Bullet For My Valentine (with James on board), the guys reworked their sound and were signed at their second gig by London's Visible Noise. They released a Self-Titled EP in the U.K. in November 2004, and their debut album, The Poison, appeared the next fall. One year later, they partnered with an American label, Trustkill, to begin releasing their material in the U.S. As a result, Hand Of Blood - essentially a deluxe version of the band's first EP - was issued to American audiences in August. That same year, Bullet For My Valentine won Kerrang!'s Best British Newcomer Award and headlined the magazine's XXV Tour. The U.S. release of The Poison followed in early 2006, as did a nationwide tour in support of Rob Zombie, and the album eventually sold more than 500,000 copies in America alone. Meanwhile, Bullet For My Valentine headed back to the U.K. in June for a third appearance at the annual Download Festival.

Scream Aim Fire appeared in 2008, marking the band's second full-length album and cracking the Top Ten in multiple countries (Including the U.K. and U.S., where peaked at numbers Five and Four, respectively). After touring, the band headed back into the studio, this time choosing Linkin Park producer Don Gilmore to helm the recording sessions. The result was 2010's Fever, another high-charting album with slightly more mainstream sound than the band's previous releases. In 2012, Tuck took a quick break to record with his side project, AxeWound, but returned to the band to release Bullet For My Valentine's fourth album, Temper Temper.
