Whiplash is set to release a ten-track album titled ‘Roar’ on November 27 under Time To Kill Records, preceded by the single ‘Bullet Train’. Produced by Tony Portaro with mixing and mastering by Jamie King, the album aims to combine classic speed and aggression with modern production. Bullet For My Valentine has announced their eighth studio album, ‘Social Apocalypse’, scheduled for release on March 19, 2027, via Spinefarm Records. Produced by Carl Bown, the 10-track project features collaborations with Chrissy Costanza of Against The Current on ‘In The Absence Of You’ and Will Ramos of Lorna Shore on ‘I Don’t Trust Tomorrow’. Frontman Matt Tuck stated the album explores themes of social conflict, global chaos, and the pressures of a rapidly changing world, reflecting a sense of lost hope and societal division. Following the release of the title track, which marks the band's first new music in four years, Bullet For My Valentine will embark on an extensive European and UK arena tour during January and February 2027. The tour will include stops in cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Paris, Budapest, Helsinki, and Madrid, with Pendulum and Dark Divine appearing as special guests. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-24: Bullet For My Valentine announces new album and European tour Bullet For My Valentine has announced their eighth studio album, ‘Social Apocalypse’, set for release on March 19, 2027, alongside a major UK and European arena tour featuring Pendulum. 19 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bullet-for-my-valentine-announces-new-album-social-apocalypse ### 2026-09-22: Metal bands Whiplash and Bullet For My Valentine announce new music Metal bands Whiplash and Bullet For My Valentine announce new music.
