Bullet for My Valentine: Fever

It's fun, but Bullet for My Valentine are still metal enough to provoke, says Will Dean
  
  


Fever begins with a militaristic thudding drum attack, before singer Matt Tuck asks the not unreasonable question: "Am I going insane, my blood is boiling inside my veins?" It's a visceral start, but the tone calms down with The Last Fight and A Place Where You Belong. In fact, throughout the walls of sound that are built up by Michael Paget's and Tuck's guitars there's a strong ear for melody of the type that's lifted them out of the metal aisles of record shops and into the mainstream. Fun, but noisy enough to make your parents worry about your ears. And that's the point, isn't it?
