Welsh metal band BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has announced the release of their new album, "Social Apocalypse", on March 19, 2027, via Spinefarm. The album marks the band's first new song in four years, with the title track serving as a direct commentary on modern societal collapse and the erosion of hope. The record features two collaborations: Chrissy Costanza of AGAINST THE CURRENT performs on "In The Absence Of You", and Will Ramos of LORNA SHORE lends vocals to "I Don't Trust Tomorrow". The album was produced by Carl Bown, a veteran of four BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE albums and known for his work with SLEEP TOKEN and WHILE SHE SLEEPS.
A limited white-label first pressing of the album is available for pre-order for 72 hours only, with full vinyl and CD variants launching on September 28. The official website at https://www.bulletformyvalentine.com/ provides further details.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has also announced its largest tour to date, spanning across Europe. The tour begins on January 21 in Lisbon, Portugal, and concludes on February 27 in Manchester, England. The shows include a full lineup of major arenas, with PENDULUM as the very special guest and DARK DEVINE as openers. The tour follows a sold-out run at The O2 arena in London last year with TRIVIUM.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, September 30 at 9 a.m. The band has described each album as a "journey" capturing a specific moment in time, reflecting their evolution and enduring influence in the global metal scene. "Social Apocalypse" is their eighth full-length release and represents a refined continuation of their signature sound.
