Next Album Will Be 'Completely Different', Confirm Bullet For My Valentine

Welsh metal titans Bullet for My Valentine have confirmed that their next album will be ‘completely different’ from their last effort, ‘Temper Temper’.
The four-piece released their fourth record earlier this year, hitting #13 on the Billboard 200 and #11 over here in the UK. It was an angry collection of tracks (drummer Moose claims that ‘people weren't getting along with other people when it was made'), and the band are hoping to calm things down with their next album.
Speaking to Billboard, Moose revealed that simple communication got the band back on good terms - something which seems like it’ll influence a much friendlier sound.
“We just all sat in a room, basically, and had it out with each other, and now everything's in a good place. There was a real relief we all had after that. It was nice to all be back to being friends again. And (the meetings) have happened a few times, now. We've been doing it more regularly. I think it's good for a band do to do that.
“It's kind of like a marriage where you have to sit down and talk from time to time and get things sorted out.”
He continued on to talk about the next album, saying:
“We’ve already started writing for the next album, which is completely different from 'Temper Temper.' It's definitely more of a step towards our first two records. We always like to keep changing our records and our sounds and stuff. I think you have to change, otherwise it gets boring for us and the fans get bored.
“Look at all the great bands through rock history; they changed on all their albums - especially Metallica. Their albums have always changed, and they're the biggest metal band ever. So we just want to keep changing and get to another level each time out."
