BEHIND CRIMSON EYES TO HIT THE ROAD WITH BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE!

Official Press release:

Local band Behind Crimson Eyes will be stepping up to support for British metal-rockers Bullet For My Valentine on their up-coming Australian tour. Fresh off the back of their headlining ‘You’ve Had Your Chance’ single tour and an overwhelming response on the national Soundwave Festival, Behind Crimson Eyes join the Bullet For My Valentine tour creating what is set to be the line-up of the year!

"Where the fuck have all the riffs gone?"

That's what Matt Tuck wanted to know. He and his fellow Bridgend band-mates have been listening to the radio, going to shows, and - for the last 7 years - answering that often-asked question with their own metal clad minstrelsy known as 'Bullet for My Valentine' - one of the most intense acts to come out of Britain in a long time.

The fearsome foursome's supercharged riffage and soaring vocals harken back to a time when how good you were had to do with how well you played – something they're convinced is lost on too many of today's flash-in-the-pan upstarts.

"I don't see how a band can stand there for 40 minutes and just sing bollocks. What's the point? It's about putting on a show!" With an attitude like that and the talent to back it up, it is little wonder that BFMV guitarist Michael Paget was voted into the Kerrang! Magazine top 100 guitarists of all time a mere 2 months after the band had released their debut EP!

Handpicked by no lesser luminaries than Metallica and Iron Maiden as their touring partners, Bullet For My Valentine heads to Australia having just shot past the million album milestone with sales of their highly acclaimed album, The Poison; and having sold out every show of their world tour across the U.K., Europe and the U.S., leaving fans rocked and astounded in their wake. Be assured, their long awaited Australian shows will soon fulfill the same pattern.

These are the full tour dates:

Sep 4th Brisbane @ The Arena (AA)


Sep 6th - Sydney @ UNSW Roundhouse (AA)


Sep 7th -  Melbourne @ Billboard (18+)


Sep 8thMelbourne@ Billboard (U/18’s)
