Exciting times for fans of Bullet for My Valentine as the band has officially begun work on their eighth studio album! In a post on Instagram, the Welsh metalcore heavyweights shared photos from the studio with the caption:
“Here we go again. #bfmv #bulletformyvalentine #Vlll”
While fans were thrilled about new music, the photos sparked even more buzz due to Matt Tuck wielding a seven-string guitar. This could hint at a fresh direction for the band, perhaps exploring heavier, lower-tuned soundscapes often associated with nu-metal and modern djent influences. A departure like this could bring a dynamic new layer to Bullet’s signature sound.
