Skupina Bullet For My Valentine (skratka BFMV) je štvorčlenná skupina, ktorá hrá melodický metalcore. Vznikla v roku 2003 v meste Bridgend, (Južný Wales, UK). Pôvodne hrala coververzie skladieb skupín Metallica a Nirvana, postupne sa dopracovala k vlastnému hudobnému štýlu.
Svoje prvé EP, Bullet for My Valentine, vydali 15. novembra 2004 v UK.V USA vyšlo až 22. augusta 2005 pod názvom Hand of Blood. Komerčne známymi sa stali vďaka klipu k pesničke „Hand of Blood“. Ich debutový album The Poison bol vydaný v UK 3. októbra roku 2005 a pristál na 128.priečke rebríčku Bilboard 200 a prvý song, „Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow (What Can I Do)“, bol uvedený 19. septembra 2005. Pesnička „4 Words (To Choke Upon)“ bola použitá v Play Station hre NHL a „Hand of Blood“ v Need for Speed.
Zaujímavosť: (začiatky skupiny)
Všetko sa to začalo v dobe, keď sa do popredia dostávali kapely ako Lostprophets, Funeral for a Friend (taktiež z Walesu). BFMV boli pripravení na nahratie dema, no deň predtým "bass player" Nik Cradle kapelu opustil a demo-myšlienka sa rozplynula. Napriek tomu sa pozbierali, našli si nového basáka, ktorým sa stal Jason "Jay" James. Zmenili si meno na "12 Pints of my Girl Friends Blood" potom na "Jeff Killed John", ktoré neskôr vystriedalo "Opportunity in Chicago", nakoniec skončili ako "Bullet For My Valentine" a pod týmto názvom vystupujú dodnes.

Poznámka: Extended play (EP) je pomenovanie pre CD, alebo vinylový zvukový nosič, ktorý obsahuje viac hudby ako singel, ale je príliš krátky na to, aby zniesol pomenovanie „album“.

Tak u skupiny takéhoto typu môžeme očakávať len tie najlepšie klipy. Trochu psycho, trochu cool a pekný minipríbeh a je to.

With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
The moments died, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking
Will this ever end I'm hoping
My world is over one more time
Let's go!
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Better!
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
