Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold and special guests Atreyu perform two shows in Perth in May 2008!

The first show is an all ages gig at 3.30pm on Sunday 11 May at Metro City.

The second is an 18+ gig, at 8pm on Monday 12 May, also at Metro City.

One fervently reverent, the other fearlessly revolutionary, the tour heralds a dawning of a new age of metal as much as each band have brought a new language to the global metal tribe …Australia awaits glorious carnage.

Leading the new brigade of heavy metal in the UK, Bullet For My Valentine certainly know their stuff. Utilising the ferocious synchronized flourishes of classic ’80s guitar slingers, the quartet construct impeccably catchy and granite-heavy sounds. The assured, majestic debut ‘The Poison’ of 2005 instantly marked the band as inheritors of British metal’s flame.

Equally versed in the untamed thrash of the past, but with dreams even grander than their extravagant songs suggest, are California’s worshipped and reviled Avenged Sevenfold. Answering to no one but themselves, this quintet of hell-raisers whip up a firestorm of outrage with each release, from the melodically shameless crunching metalcore of their 2001 debut ‘Sounding The Seventh Trumpet’ to the gritty genre-thieving mayhem of their fourth, self-titled opus of 2007.

Tickets go on sale 22 February for around $60 from Moshtix (Under 18 and 18+), BOCS and 78 Records.
