One of the most successful U.K. metal acts of the new millennium, Welsh quartet Bullet for My Valentine takes cues from ‘80s metal bands and punk-infused metal to make melodic, metallic, dark rock songs. Employing a sinister blend of caustic riffage and full-throttle drums, the group’s pop sensibilities brought them to the mainstream with career-changing albums like The Poison (2005), Fever (2010), and Temper Temper (2013), and chart-topping singles “Scream Aim Fire,” “Your Betrayal,” and “All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me),” making them the one of the biggest U.K. metal outfits since Iron Maiden. Showing no signs of slowing down, BFMV released their hard-hitting eponymous seventh full-length effort in 2021.

Orlando, Florida’s Trivium are among the most provocative, restless, and influential bands to emerge from the American South’s heavy metal explosion in the early 21st century. Beginning as a metalcore outfit, they have relentlessly combined and crossed styles including thrash, prog, technical, and melodic death metal, as well as alternative and groove metal. Trivium came by their global success the old-fashioned way: touring. Since issuing their first demo in 2000, they have been road warriors. Trivium’s Court of the Dragon was written and recorded during the pandemic while in isolation; it was released in October 2021 and was produced by Josh Wilbur.
