The Poison by Bullet for My Valentine
The Poison is an album by Bullet for My Valentine, released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Tears Don't Fall”, on 2 lists with a best position of #64.
The Poison, the debut album from Bridgend's Bullet for My Valentine, came out in the UK on Visible Noise on 3 October 2005, and Trustkill held the American release for 14 February 2006, Valentine's Day, a wink at the band's name. Colin Richardson produced, and the Welsh band that started out as Jeff Killed John, covering Metallica and Nirvana, comes out swinging: Matthew Tuck's shredded screams flipping into big, melodic choruses, Michael Paget's lead guitar firing off Iron Maiden-style runs, Jay James on bass and Michael "Moose" Thomas hammering the kit.
"Tears Don't Fall" is the calling card, all heartbreak and stampede. There are 11 new songs, plus "Cries in Vain" and "4 Words (To Choke Upon)" carried over from the EPs. It went gold in America, and 20 years on they toured it with Trivium.
