Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show - 07/05/2010

Welsh rockers Bullet For My Valentine are returning to the fray with an eagerly anticipated new release called Fever, an album the band describe as "bigger and darker" than anything they've done before. Their previous two albums, The Poison and Scream Aim Fire, quickly propelled the band to rock star status, both in the UK and worldwide - a rare feat for a young UK band. Bullet For My Valentine take over the show for an hour to talk about the making of the album; the huge pressure on them; their growth as musicians; how producer Dan Gilmore pushed the band to breaking point in pursuit of the best performances possible; and how the late night writing sessions and The Witching Hour inspired some of their best ever riffs. They also share some of their favourite music by other artists and discuss how those songs influenced and inspired them as fans and as musicians.
