Bullet For My Valentine is a thrashy metalcore band from Wales, a country that is part of the UK. They’re known for their aggressive guitar riffs paired with catchy vocals. They’ll also be on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Tour this summer, though dates for that haven’t been announced yet. Even if they do come around to Jiffy Lube Live as part of that tour, they won’t be playing a full headlining set like they will be here at the 9:30 Club. The opening act is Halestorm, a Pennsylvania based formed by brother and sister Arejay and Lzzy Hale. The doors to this show open at 6:30 so the concert will probably be done pretty early. The 9:30 Club will post more accurate set times the day of the concert on their website. Now, check out the video below for their song Bittersweet Memories from their album

thats a no brainer its Iron Maiden all the way.. UP THE IRONS FOR LIFE!
Iron Maiden is my fav. UK metal band and has been since I bought their first album in Germany ’round about 1981. Picked it up because of the cool album art!
Black Sabbath is my favorite old school heavy metal band from the UK, but my favorite new band would be Bullet for my Valentine.
Porcupine Tree
Not sure if I’d consider them heavy metal but I’m currently really into LostAlone.
Black Sabbath. Without them there would be no heavy metal at all.
Black Sabbath for sure. They were pioneers for metal. My dad started me on listening to them when I was younger and since then I have seen how they kind of shape what metal is today so overall metal would be not be what it is today without them.
I’m gonna be different and post something newer.. Check out the band Anterior from the UK if you are into catchy metalcore.
absolutely Iron Maiden. Last summer saw them at the jiffy lube pit. Tremendous energy and flawless performance – that opening band dream theater just could not compete.

ON THE EDGE OF DARKNESS, i am one of THE CHILDREN OF THE BEAST with an intense FEAR OF THE DARK…. IRON MAIDEN ALL THE WAY!
