Bullet For My Valentine lay bleeding in November
Heralded by many as the best British metal band around at the moment, Bullet For My Valentine are set up for a massive headline tour in November.
By then it will be over a year since the release of their cracking debut album The Poison and nine months after their last headline tour, which took in venues such as Brixton Academy. It's to be their last tour before they scuttle off into the studio to record their next album.
After selling over half a million copies of their album and putting in a storming main stage appearance at Download, the Bullet boys will be finishing of touring with the current dates with Guns N Roses and main stage appearances at Reading and Leeds festivals.
Tour support is well and truly Cali metalcore with Trustkill's Orange County bruisers Bleeding Through and San Diego quintet As I Lay Dying bringing their overdone double-kick metallic hardcore to the crowds before anyone really gives a shit.
Tickets are on sale from 4 August from the band's website and cost £15. Here's the dates.

DiS-cuss: What's the best emo name you can think of? As I Lay Dying is pretty good. But so are the very metal Thine Eyes Bleed and the very, very serious It Dies Today. Your thoughts?

conjures up a really strong image for me, a sense of space, noise and discombobulation.
..
as i lay dying absolutely piss on bfmv, they'll ave em off the stage, like.
bleeding goats gruff
is not a real name, but would be humourous if all band members had beards are were half goat type creatures who vomited everywhere on command
i hope they do piss on them.
literally
Isn't there
actually a band called 'Sunny Day Sets Fire'? Which is two emo band names rolled into one.
They must have used this:

Kill Whitney Dead
their name covers every thing, killing, girls and death, what more does one need
are they emo?
sunny day real estate are an emo-core band from back in the day, and sound nothing like the modern acts trashing their legacy. Meanwhile Boy Sets Fire were a 'Melodic Hardcore' band back when i were a lad - do people still call stuff melodic hardcore?
Best and worst
Best = My Dying Bride
Worst = The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
My Dying Bride of course are as emo by modern standards as OutKast, but in retrospect maybe Like Gods of the Sun was as emo as nineties doom metal got?
Runner up award for best has to go to "I Just Threw out the Love of my Life", whom I believe are named after a Weezer song so get bonus emo points for that, but lose because aside from ripping off every other emo band they could at least have bothered to think of their own name.
goth
surely you're confusing it with goth.
Like Gods Of The Sun was the most gothic Doom Metal album of the late 90s...
oh lordie, what has emo become, that it has the same emotional tone as goth rock... no wonder ATDI split up.
...
Am I the only one thinking that Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. is the best emo name ever?
...
As I Lay Dying are the only good band on this bill...
