Bullet for My Valentine begin recording new album

Bullet for My Valentine have confirmed that they are commencing work on their new album.

"Today we enter the studio for session one of album five. Time to get heavy", said frontman Matt Tuck in a recent tweet. 

The band is reportedly aiming for a heavier sound, closer to their early material for this record. While talking to Billboard, drummer Michael Thomas said "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."
