Bullet For My Valentine has been a mainstay, not just in the metal community, but within British music as a whole since their inception. From experiencing early success with Fever & Scream Aim Fire to continuing to encapsulate audiences with Gravity & 2021’s self-titled album, the band has consistently gone from strength to strength, amassing over 3.5 million album sales to date whilst playing sold-out shows across the globe. It’s the band’s first album, however; 2005’s The Poison, that propelled them to unimaginable heights. That year saw the Welsh metallers graduate from supporting Funeral For A Friend on their UK run in the summer, to ending the year headlining the very same venues just months later. Dropping in October 2005, “The Poison” hit number 21 in the UK album charts, becoming a late contender in end of year polls, placing at number seven on KERRANG!’s “Albums Of The Year” list, and since achieving gold status.
