Matt: It depends on how it went on previous albums. Who do you work with on an album? Do you work with the same person? We were not especially for but we remixed it and we made it feel a little better. But we had a lot of good feedbacks and our label loved it and wanted to put it on the album. We did not start writing the album until April 2017 and we made this music in September 2016 if I remember correctly. It was not even part of the writing process of the album. Matt: No, this music was apart, a “one shot” for fun. At that moment, did you already knew what the album was going to look like? Times are changing and that’s what I was listening to at the time.Ībout a year ago, you released the song “Don’t Need You”. For “Scream Aim Fire” we were compared to Metallica and Slayer. Groups will inevitably one day look like a moment in their career and it’s hard not to do it. Matt: Oh it depends on whether the band is good or not! (laughs) But Bring Me The Horizon is a great band, Linkin Park too. We looked for our influences everywhere, not only Bring Me The Horizon, there is also Deftones, but the main idea was mainly how not to freak people with these changes, always talking to them, but showing something new.Īnd how do you take it when you are compared to these bands, somewhere you take it well or it gets on your nerves? We can do a lot of things with guitars and drums, but added these elements is also part of the reinvention of the group we are less limited and we open to other horizons. Matt: Yeah, I’m just curious, but I see what you mean, but we’ve always had some electronic sounds in Bullet For My Valentine. Matt: Yeah, but it was 2016 this one, it’s old now.īut there are others, it is especially with the “catchy” and electronic side. Well, there is “Don’t Need You” who sounds like “Shadow Moses”. What music did you think looks like Bring Me The Horizon? Is it because you changed your mind or it is on purpose? The new album is very different from the old ones! You said in an interview that you did not want to do something similar to Bring Me The Horizon, but after listening to “ Gravity” we could not help but see a lot of similarities. Matt: Exactly, that gives us other perspectives from where we want to go. Matt: Oh! Their personalities first, after, anyone can learn how to play a song on guitar, but they are really very different people for good or bad reasons, but at least they are different. So it’s only positive.Īnd what’s the biggest difference between them and the old members of Bullet For My Valentine? So it’s really good to have new visions of things, new energies, and to approach creativity in another way without living in the past. And having two new people who are hungry and who were fans of the band, it allows in addition to realize how the band is perceived from outside. Spending more than 20 years in a band with the same people is amazing, but it’s also heavy. But they bring something new to our life. Matt: Yeah, writing and recording, but not so much, because our producer wanted me to record guitars and bass. Do they take part in the writing and recording sessions? No worries, but we want to know what do the new members bring. If they want to comment on the details of why it ended and why things have changed like that, it’s up to them, it’s not up to me to do it or to worry about it. Two out of four is not the end of the world. Matt Tuck (vocals): No, it’s really exciting we spent the last year recording it until Christmas so I’m just glad it’s all set up, we’re getting feedbacks and we can release titles from time to time so yeah it’s very exciting!Īt the end of 2017 you have part ways with your long time drummer, but we do not really know how it happened and with his departure and the bass player in 2015 there are only 2 original members of the band. It’ s been a while since the last one, how are you feeling? Nervous, anxious? Hi Matt! To start, you’re about to release a new album with Bullet For My Valentine. During a promotional day in Paris, Matt Tuck, singer of Bullet For My Valentine, came to chat with us about the new album” Gravity”, the new band’s new line up and what he’s been through since his divorce with his wife.
