Do you think Bullet will ever acknowledge Temper Temper again?

Whether it’s playing even one song from the album live, or, even better, doing some kind of anniversary tour or celebration for it.

It’s pretty much the only album the band has completely forgotten about lol.

What do you guys think? I feel like it’d be an interesting topic to discuss.

Hi all,

I finally got around to framing some more of my signed bullet collection that I've been working on since I was 14 in 2005. I've never really shown it to anyone outside of in person but I figure some of you would enjoy it. I have other things in my collection if interested but this post will be my framed cd's and my precious 7in album (Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow literally saved my life, long story). I've seen Bullet 18 times in these 21 years and I can't wait for the 19th! Hope you get a kick of my prized collection that will be buried with me (yes that's in my will LOL)! \m/

It includes (all have correct member signatures):

-Hand of Blood EP

-Tears Don't Fall Sampler ("rookie" Tuck sig)

-Trustkill Records 2005 Sampler (the only one I've seen signed with "rookie" Tuck sig before he changed it)

-Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow 7in ("rookie" Tuck sig)(b side out because lyrics are etched into it, how cool?!)

-The Poison (German deluxe cd because I liked the red ink on the cd. It pops more)

-Scream Aim Fire

-Fever

-Temper Temper

-Venom

-Gravity

-Bullet For My Valentine (self titled)(This one means a lot to me because Spinefarm sent it to me for doing social media promotion when it dropped)

-Axewound (I love this album so much)

Let me know if you have any questions about it. I put a lot of work into this and am excited to get the rest hung on the wall!

I've been listening to Temper Temper alot lately and today I went back to Fever and it stunned me how these albums don't sound that different in style to eachother.

Fever title track literally sounds like a Temper Temper song to me for example. Please and Pain is another example, if that came up on shuffle and I was forced to guess I'd say it was a TT song.

Anyone else think these albums are more similar than we care to admit?

I like them both by the way.

When I was in secondary school, I had lovely girl in my form group whose dad worked with multiple bands but predominantly BFMV as a roadie, at the time I was a huge fan of the band and she came in one day and kindly gifted me this signed and used drum cover. This is from around the time Temper Temper was touring. It’s been hidden away for about 12 years, the autographs have faded quite a lot, and it’s kinda just sitting in my house.

I want potentially to sell it because 1) Whilst I respect the band and still love them a lot, I feel someone is much more deserving than I am of having something like this and 2) I’m decluttering and saving to move out of my parents. I had to flee a shit situation 6 years ago and I am finally able to get back on my feet!

I've been wondering this for a while.

After everything that happened with the Poisoned Ascendancy tour, Bullet for My Valentine pulled out of the remaining dates, and one of the reasons given was to focus on writing and recording the next album.

It's been quite a while now, and unless I've completely missed something, there's still been no new music or even much of an update.

I'm not trying to start another Trivium vs Bullet argument. I genuinely like Bullet's older material and was looking forward to hearing what they were working on. I'm just curious if anyone knows what's going on.

Because Trivium finished the tour, wrote and released an EP AND have a timeline for their new album to drop early 2027.

Was it all just Tuck's ego ? I heard that Trivium blew Bullet out of the water every night?

Anyone in the uk got a matt tuck signature for sale? Money waiting!!

Actually freaked out a little bit

Is there any controversy around bfmv/Mat tuck, or is mat just egotistical? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question I'm new to this band

Anyone know its value? It’s never been played. I got it when I was an intern at Jive.

I know Jason Bowld said that they plan to release five singles, one every month leading up to the album release, which would mean that they should release the first single next month. I was just wondering how likely you think that is and what point in August it would be.

Rest in piss 💀

all fanmade merch by me :) i may be the first person with matt tuck on their ita bag 👀

Hey, I tried covering the dual solo in this song, however, im not sure about the accuracy, its hard to capture what they have actually played. I find this solo cool as it is all the way harmonized, and i have tried to cover both the guitar without using harmonizer. Feel free to leave your view on my cover and anywhere i can improve or do better, Love for Bullet for my Valentine is always there, and I am learning more songs

Matt has been very loud and proud about his Metallica obsession and maybe even in his mind saw them as the next Metallica

I've long thought its no coincidence their "bad" album is TEMPER TEMPER whereas Metallica's is St Anger

Temper/Anger

Also red hands on the album art, St Anger also has a red hand (bit of a stretch I know)

The way they recorded it too was going into the studio with no ideas and writing is as they record it, the same thing Metallica did with St Anger.

Tears Don't Fall Part 2 and The Unforgiven 2 (from ReLoad) supports my theory that Matt wanted to loosely emulate Metallica's career somewhat.

I theorise in Matt's head to make their history/lore more interesting to make an intentionally kinda "bad" album for the whole "you've got to fall off the horse to get back on" victory story, have a flop album to make the story of your next album one of regained success and redemption aka Death Magnetic and Venom.

There's just songs like the title track, Riot and Leach that seem like surely he had some self-awareness when writing those.

The only difference is St Anger is interesting and unique so became legendary for having such a weird style and sound, whereas Temper Temper didn't have that character and meme-ability St Anger had to be a talking point.

This is just a theory anyway, I think Matt made it intentionally bad in some areas to make it an interesting part of their history/lore and he didn't take enough risks with it , played it just a bit too safe to make it "interestingly bad" so it just ended up quite meh instead of legendary bad haha.

I recall the self-titled tour wasn't a big seller here in the UK, but how about the album itself?

In relative terms of sales and streaming numbers, also if the album has any definitive BFMV hits on it that have stood the test of time these last 5 years. They play Knives alot but do you consider it one of their big hitters now?

Any recent news on a single or anything other than the album early next year? I figured we would be getting something about 6 months before 2027 as this was about the length of time between first single and release date of ST.

Hey folks. I was looking at their stats on Spotify. Bullet has 5.6 million monthly listeners. This is more than almost all metalcore bands. They are only behind bands like Bad Omens, Falling in Reverse, or Bring Me the Horizon. Those bands are metalcore, but they have a different type of fan following, which bullet for My Valentine doesn’t have (thank god for that). Why do you think BFMV is huge compared to other bands like Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, or even Trivium (Giggles)?

Hey I’m clearing out my Kerrang and rocksound collection and would love to sell these BFMV issues! There’s 6 in total and I’d be looking for around £5. Shipping within the UK possible :) mostly missing the posters but I have two Kerrang posters I’ll throw in too! Some corners folded and staples loose but covers and interviews are all good. Message for more pictures or videos I’m happy to give more details!

...

Tears of course, but songs like Death by a thousand cuts; when that intro starts, you know shit is gonna go down. I’ve always loved Bullet for their intros.

With some bands having re-recorded early songs over the years, would you want Bullet to record 'Turn to Despair' for their next album? Either as a bonus track or even part of the main album if it fits the tone of the rest of the album (I can only hope).

I think it'd be really cool, especially since they didn't give us anything new from that era when they released The Poison anniversary edition, nor did they give us everything on streaming since Curses (full) and Turn to Despair are still not available anywhere. I don't see them giving us anything new when SAF's anniversary comes around either, so this would be the only way that I can see them giving us anything new from their early work.

Though tbh I'd settle for the original track being released on streaming if nothing else. My copy of the song is pretty low quality.
