来自英国威尔士南部Bridgend大学的四位学生于1999年组建了Bullet for My Valentine。最初，他们曾以“Jeff kill john”和“Opportunity In Chigago”为名，专门翻唱一些Nirvana与Metallica的作品。2002年，乐队曾在一张双CD的威尔士乐队合辑中发表了一首作品。之后，贝司手Nik Crandle退出，新成员Jason James填补了这一位置的空缺。从此，乐队也换掉了以前那些土气的名字，正式更名为Bullet For My Valentine（我的情人节子弹）。 2004年2月，BFMV开始在陆陆续续的演出中吸引到一些主流厂牌的注意。他们试图与Roadrunner唱片公司签约，但最终未能如愿。同年10月，乐队与英国厂牌Visible Noise签约。11月，他们的首张EP《Hand Of Blood》在该公司旗下发行。并且，乐队还凭借这张唱片被著名的金属/摇滚杂志《Kerrang!》评选为当年“英国最佳新晋团体”，BFMV的任期从此一路彪升。进入2005年，BFMV终于不负众望，开始在国际摇滚乐坛上大放异彩。首张专辑《The Poison》一经推出，就以一股势不可当的劲头在各种广播/电视节目与排行榜中蔓延开来。随后，乐队转签至Trustkill Records旗下，这又为他们的发展铺平道路。 BFMV是富有时代感与明星气质的，他们的音乐是Heavy Metal,Hardcore与Emo碰撞时引爆的轰鸣，他们的外形鲜亮、时尚，充斥着一股New School式的诱人魅力。流畅悦耳的曲风与动感激荡的节奏相得益彰；时而咆哮时而轻柔的唱腔在从容的交替中尽情挥洒着摇滚乐的激情与快感。除此之外，乐队的唱片封套设计基于美式漫画的特点，精致而富有情节性，更增添了一种吸引眼球的效果，令人爱不释手。在当今的金属乐队普遍趋于低龄化的形势中，尽管我们看到的大多式些稚气未脱的面孔，但正式这种年轻、充满朝气、活力与冲动的状态，在某种程度上积极促使着音乐形态的不断发展与转变。 .

1) There are countless bands that embody and thus perpetuate the image of their own locale, time, even genre—Vale is not one of them. Rebelling against the restrictions of the Orange County image, Vale plants their roots deeper: 1980’s British rock, to be exact. Do not be misled, however superficially Vale may seem to imitate 1980’s British rock, upon closer inspection the attentive listener will find a breadth of originality and style that cannot simply be labeled into one category. Vale is both original and familiar. This statement holds true for all aspects of the band. Upon first meeting, singer...

De Benfica para Arroja, voltando a Benfica, depois mudando-se para a Amora e finalmente fixando-se na Damaia, Valete sempre foi um adolescente de moradia incerta, e talvez isso é que lhe tenha dado a desenvolvida capacidade de observação das zonas suburbanas. Enquanto jovem, sempre sereno e introvertido, decidiu desabafar e expressar-se criativamente através do rap. Começou em 97 e com Adamastor formou o Canal 115. Nesse mesmo ano e ainda com 16 anos começou a ser convidado para as mix-tapes lançadas por Dj's como Bomberjack e Cruzfader. Rodou com Canal 115 durante 2 anos em vários concertos pelo país, até...

On the one hand the reckless freedom and...
