{"product_id":"bullet_for_my_valentine","title":"Bullet For My Valentine","description":"\u003cp\u003eBullet For My Valentine is the Welsh metal band’s self‑titled seventh studio album, released on November 5, 2021 via Spinefarm and widely framed as a deliberate, heavier “reset” after the divisive, more experimental Gravity. Running just under 48 minutes in its standard 10‑track form (expanded to 15 on the 2022 deluxe edition), it leans hard into aggressive modern metal and metalcore, with down‑tuned riffs, prominent double‑kick drumming, and a much higher ratio of harsh to clean vocals than on its immediate predecessors. The tracklist opens with “Parasite” and “Knives” as a statement of intent, then moves through “My Reverie,” “No Happy Ever After,” “Can’t Escape the Waves,” “Bastards,” “Rainbow Veins,” “Shatter,” “Paralysed,” and “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” with deluxe‑only cuts like “Omen,” “Stitches,” “No More Tears To Cry,” “Step Out From The Inside,” and “This Means War” extending the palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritics and the band alike describe the record as a return to (and escalation of) the intensity of earlier releases such as The Poison and Scream Aim Fire, but updated with thicker, more modern production and more intricate rhythm work. Reviews highlight the way songs like “Knives,” “No Happy Ever After,” and “Rainbow Veins” balance blast‑beat passages, breakdowns, and technical riffing with the soaring, melodic choruses that have long been a Bullet hallmark. With its focus on rage, mental strain, and fractured relationships, wrapped in some of the band’s heaviest arrangements to date, the self‑titled album is often characterized as a reinvigoration, presenting “Bullet 2.0” as a sharpened, more aggressive version of themselves rather than a nostalgic retread.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Oxblood Colour Vinyl","offer_id":53285382521146,"sku":"37580","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53460025180474,"sku":"38013","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-04-07_at_2.57.32_PM.jpeg?v=1781078434","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/bullet_for_my_valentine","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
