Working once again with producer Don Gilmore (also known for his work with Linkin Park), Welsh thrashers Bullet for My Valentine return with their fourth studio album, Temper Temper. The album should feature plenty of the guitar heroics that fans have come to love, but with the band doing most of the writing in the studio, the songwriting should feel a little looser and more organic, something frontman Matt Tuck came to appreciate while recording with his side project AxeWound. Based on "Riot," the album's debut single, it seems like the change is definitely working out for them.
Professional Reviews
Billboard (p.51) - "[A] varied collection rife with heavy double-bass drums and sharp metallic riffs."
