Bullet For My Valentine wakes the "Demon" for next single

Bullet For My Valentine has set "Waking the Demon" as the next single and video from its recently released second album, Scream Aim Fire. Considered the hardest-rocking song on the record, it's based on the band members' own experiences of getting beat up in school because they had long hair. Singer Matt Tuck told us the track is about what happens when someone gets pushed too far: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "Just for example, say you're getting bullied in school and for years and years you take it and take it, and then one day you just snap and you get your revenge back on your bully kind of thing. So it's about everyone's inner demons being awoken by a certain event."

The video for "Waking the Demon" was scripted and directed by Max Nichols, son of Oscar-winning director Mike Nichols.

Scream Aim Fire has sold 145,000 copies since coming out at the end of January.

Bullet For My Valentine recently teamed up with music Web site Buzznet.com to sponsor a contest for the best metal scream. More info can be found at Buzznet or the group's official Web site.

The Welsh band is currently on the Taste of Chaos tour with Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold. They stop in Orlando, Florida on Friday (March 28th).
