See It First: Bullet for My Valentine Premieres ‘Venom’
Bullet for My Valentine’s fifth studio album, Venom, was obviously an eagerly awaited release for metal fans, as it recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums Chart. The record was produced by Carl Bown and Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium) and features 11 hard hitting tracks that take fans back to the heaviness of the band’s earlier releases.
Yahoo Music is excited to debut the video for the title track, which is a continuation from the story in their video for “You Want a Battle? (Here’s a War).“
Director Stuart Birchall had this to say regarding the video: "Working with Bullet is a real pleasure. It is important for me to connect with the artist, their music and establish trust creatively. After our first video I was very keen to continue the journey of the characters we established in taking the narrative in a fresh direction. The band and management were behind this 100%. We discussed taking t a more cerebral tone with a darker subtext. Maeve O Connell (DOP) and myself wanted to take the cinematography in a different direction stylistically and the cast were all very keen to continue the story and journey we had started together.
"It really is a great feeling when the plans comes together, the crew across the board were all amazing with special mention to Jamie Whymark (Kode Media) for fighting to keep the vision on track. We hope this video takes people back to enjoy part 1 (‘You want a battle, Here’s a War’) again and of course I left room for a finale!”
The band will be back in the U.S. for their British Invasion tour in February 2016. Check here for a full list of dates.
