Matt Tuck just hinted at Bullet For My Valentine doing a 20th anniversary celebration of ‘The Poison’

In 2005, a band named Bullet For My Valentine released their debut album The Poison. One of the more popular metalcore records of the era, the album also contains one of metalcore’s most commercially popular songs in “Tears Don’t Fall”, helping make the Welsh upstarts (at the time, anyway) make an instant impact. One of the rare metalcore albums to reach Gold status in the USA, their popularity has been ever-present since then, even despite changing sounds and tastes in music.

Speculation has arisen as to whether BFMV will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album in some way, and it looks pretty certain at this point.

In a lengthy social media post on December 18th, the band had a lengthy year-end statement as their seventh album cycle just finished, saying:

“So that’s a wrap on 2023 and the entire touring cycle of our self titled 7th studio album. 26 months of touring the world ending last week in Japan. Tokyo and Osaka it was an honour as always and we thank you for all your love and energy. You guys are the best. What a wild couple of years it’s been. We wanna say a huge thank you to all the BFMV fans all across the world for your continued support and love for our band. We hit 20 years of being a band this year and feels like we’re just getting started. 2024 is a year for us to unwind, relax, reflect and appreciate all we have and accomplished on this cycle and over the last 20 years. We owe it all to you guys and we cannot thank you enough. When the time is right we’ll be heading into the studio to make our 8th album, and trust me, you aint heard nothing yet. The best really is still to come. Things will be a little quiet here for the next couple months whilst we regroup and take some down time, however, we have a massive announcement to make soon that will make 2025 be a very special year for us so stay tuned for that. So until then have an amazing Christmas and holiday season everybody. We love you all. This is BFMV signing off. See you on the other side. X”

As Blabbermouth also noted, Michael Paget was also not subtle about a possible celebration or tour of the record, saying:

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE guitarist Michael “Padge” Paget previously hinted at “The Poison” 20th-anniversary tour in a July 2023 interview with “Mike James Rock Show”. At the time, he said about the band’s plans for next couple of years: “’24 we’ll be writing an album. And then 2025 we’ll be back. [2025 is] an anniversary of something big.”

A worldwide tour where they play the album in full and perhaps some unreleased demos or other unused songs from the era for The Poison probably wouldn’t be that much of a surprise, considering how attached the album is to BFMV’s legacy.
