Bullet For My Valentine (BFMV), a Welsh heavy metal band releases its first single from upcoming self-titled LP. The new album is set to be released this October 22nd, through Spinefarm Records. Knives is the first taste of what the seventh LP will sound like and so far fans are hooked. Hitting straight out of the gate, Knives explores a modern twist on classic metalcore guitar riffs with the flare of traditional BFMV. Albeit a much heavier track than we have ever heard from the Welsh group before, the single still encompasses the captivating lyricism and snappy chorus hook that they are renowned for.

A lot more of a raw vocal has been utilised this time around, which brings out the more brutal and aggressive side of BFMV. The surprise elements of powerful drum fills and tempo changes, make the track's breakdown that much more enjoyable and slightly surprising. Although the band is known for some classic breakdowns within their songs, this breakdown hits differently. The single itself signifies a new era of BFMV that has never been heard before. Leading man Matt Tuck has said that the band felt it was time for this new sound and plenty of fans agree.
With the enriching brutality of Knives, it will be interesting to see just how different their new LP will be, and how many of the classic BFMV elements that we will see. So far the raw and dirty vocal of Tuck hits back to some of the earlier discography, with many elements of stereotypical metalcore that meshes fairly with modern-day technology and sound.
