The Wildhearts

Anyone heard the new Bullet for my Valentine album

Fucking Heavy stuff, still got the melodys & shredding but the songwriting has moved on a level..

My 'younger' friends tell me of this band and i fear i ain't heard them afore, is it really good or simply angry teenager music?

Awful awful band. I saw them when they supported Guns n' Roses last year. Brrr.

old school thrash with a modern twist.... good stuff & welsh boys to boot

have toured with iron maiden, guns n roses,metallica

give them a listen http://www.bulletformyvalentine1.com/

i was quite into them around the time "the poison" came out, but i've progressively gone off them more and more over time since. the lyrics are for the most part atrocious, and although i'm not one of those "tr00 metal" types, i think they added too much poppiness to the mix for my tastes.

if you want some amazing metal in a similar vein, check out

"the fall of ideals" by all that remains
"threads of life" by shadows fall
"deliver us" by darkest hour (my favourite album of 2007)
"in love and lunacy" by still remains.

i like the fact that they have amazing heavy riffs but still retain some great melodies...

they seem to be a band you either love or hate, The marmite of Metal
