The Band Will Be Touring The US This Spring To Support Their Upcoming Album Starting On April 30 2010. The Band Will Also Be Headlining The Second Stage At This Year's Download Festival Starting June 2010. In Early 2009 About A Year After Bullet For My Valentine Released Their Second Studio Album Scream Aim Fire The Band Started Writing New Material. In A March 2009 Interview With Metal Hammer Matthew Tuck Stated That On Previous Albums He Had Written Lyrics For The Songs After The Band Had Completed Writing Instrumental Parts But For Fever Tuck Had Been Writing Both At The Same Time. Bullet For My Valentine Originally Entered The Studio In April 2009 With Producer Don Gilmore Best Known For His Work With Linkin Park And Good Charlotte At Monnow Valley Studio Monmouth Wales And Cancelled Tour Dates In South Africa To Continue Recording. The Band Took Time Off From Recording In Mid-2009 To Perform On Various Tours Including The 2009 Mayhem Festival. During The Mayhem Festival Bullet For My Valentine Included A New Song To Their Live Setlist. Following Their Tours The Band Returned To Studio To Finish Fever. Recording Was Completed In December 2009 And Gilmore Began Tracking The Album Shortly Thereafter In "The Document Room" Studio Malibu California. In A March 12 2010 Interview With UK's Metal Hammer Magazine Matthew Tuck Stated About The Writing And Recording Process For The New Album "We Wanted To Do Something Fresh And Exciting But That Was Still Us. Having Don Gilmore Was A Very Conscious Decision. We Didn't Want Him To Change Us As Musicians Just Help With The Vocals And Get The Best Possible Performances Out Of Us. It's A Weird Thing Singing In The Studio You Don't Get The Adrenaline The Energy The Buzz It's You In Front Of A Microphone Looking At A Guy Staring At You. To Get The Performances Out In The Studio Was Hard But Don Was Amazing. We Rewrote The Lyrics And Melodies Up To Five Times On Some Songs Because He Didn't Think They Were Strong Enough. We Worked Insanely Hard To Get The Vocal Lines Different But Still Bullet. The Vocals Took Longer Than Everything Else On The Album Put Together. It Was Brutal Work But I Personally Thought I Had A Huge Point To Prove So That’s Why I Stuck At It. Everyone's Buzzing About This One. We Just Tried To Get That Energy And Excitement And Vibe Back Into The Band Because The Scream Aim Fire 2008 Sessions Just Ripped Our Hearts Out Of Wanting To Be In A Band." On February 14 2010 The Band Offered A New Track "Begging For Mercy" For Free Download From Their Official Website For A Limited Time. The First And Lead Single For The US "Your Betrayal" Was Set For Release On March 9 2010 But Unexpectedly Was Released Early As A Digital 45 On ITunes Along With The Track "Begging For Mercy" On March 2 2010.
