Bullet For My Valentine fires off more US dates

Welsh metalcore outfit Bullet For My Valentine has laid out the itinerary for its second leg of dates on the "No Fear Music Tour."

The band, which finished its latest US run last weekend, is back in England for this weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals. The rockers will return to the US to kick off their fall tour Sept. 2 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and the trek will stop by nearly 20 cities across the country through the end of the month. Details are listed below.

The stateside jaunt will be followed by an Oct. 19 performance in Tokyo and a month-long tour of Europe. Information about the overseas shows can be found at Bullet For My Valentine's website.

The band is supporting its breakthrough studio album, "Scream Aim Fire," which surfaced in January and shot to No. 4 on The Billboard 200. The set, BFMV's sophomore effort, has scored mainstream-rock hits with the title track, "Waking the Demon" and the group's latest single, "Hearts Burst Into Fire," which is currently holding steady in the Top 30. All of those songs are streaming at Bullet For My Valentine's MySpace page.

Frontman Matthew "Matt" Tuck said "Scream Aim Fire" is much more aggressive and up-tempo than BFMV's 2006 debut, "The Poison."

"We have stepped it up a gear," Tuck explained in the band's bio. "This album is chock full of classic Bullet ingredients: metal riffs, pounding rhythms, shredding solos and great melodies. We took everything that we learnt from 'The Poison' and took up tenfold. Better, fresher, harder, sadder and more real."

The quartet--comprising vocalist/guitarist Tuck, guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget, drummer Michael "Moose" Thomas and bassist Jason "Jay" James--intends to tour worldwide for more than two years to support "Scream Aim Fire."
