In support of their long-awaited new album Gravity, Bullet For My Valentine have confirmed a series of UK in-store events. Following over 9 million Spotify pre-release streams of singles, ‘Over It’, ‘Piece of Me’ and ‘Letting You Go’, plus 12 million official YouTube streams, Gravity was released available digitally and physically, on June 29th via Search & Destroy/ Spinefarm Records.

We don’t want to alienate anyone… but we don’t want to write the same shit anymore. Metalheads will enjoy this. I actually feel the softer electronic parts make the heavy moments even more crushing. It’s about engaging the listener and taking them on a journey, messing with their heads a bit…”
