Bullet For My Valentine set Social Apocalypse album release and 2027 UK arena dates with Pendulum
Bullet For My Valentine have announced their eighth album, Social Apocalypse, alongside a major UK and European arena tour for 2027. The record arrives via Spinefarm on 19 March, with the Welsh metal outfit returning to London’s The O2 on Friday 26 February.
The newly unveiled title track, Social Apocalypse, is the band’s first new music in four years. Its accompanying video is now available, with Matt Tuck taking aim at an increasingly fractured modern world. Watch the video here.
Tuck said: “Everything in life is changing at such a rapid pace, and it is hard to find a great deal of positivity when you look at events in the world. People are being pitted against each other. The world is full of conflict instead of unity. As a father, I look at what the world is like for younger people, and how completely different it is now.”
A record shaped by a world in flux
Social Apocalypse was made with producer Carl Bown, who has worked on four previous Bullet For My Valentine albums. The 10-track release also features two guest appearances: Against The Current singer Chrissy Costanza joins the band for In The Absence Of You, while Lorna Shore frontman Will Ramos appears on I Don’t Trust Tomorrow.
Tuck said of Bown’s role in the studio: “Carl doesn’t let you settle. He is always ready to speak up, push and challenge you to be the best version of you.”
The album’s track listing runs as follows:
- Social Apocalypse
- In The Absence Of You featuring Chrissy Costanza
- I Don’t Trust Tomorrow featuring Will Ramos
- Here Without You
- Acid Rain
- Fragile
- CVLT
- Masquerade
- Read Between The Lines
- Enough Is Never Enough
An extremely limited white-label first pressing of Social Apocalypse is available for 72 hours. Pre-order the limited pressing here.
Pendulum join the arena run
The tour follows Bullet For My Valentine’s co-headline appearance at The O2 with Trivium last year, but sees the band taking the London venue on as sole headliners. Pendulum will appear as very special guests across the full run, while Florida heavy outfit Dark Divine open each night.
