Fever by Bullet for My Valentine
Fever is the third studio album by Welsh heavy metal band, Bullet for My Valentine. Containing eleven tracks, the album was released on 26 and 27 April 2010 in the UK and in the US, respectively. The album sold 71,000 copies in the US and 21,965 in the UK in its first week of release to debut at position No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Billboard's Rock and Alternative charts, making it the band's most successful record to date. Since its release, Fever has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.
On their third album, the globally dominating Welsh thrashcore band came to terms with melody while keeping their intensity. From the colossal martial-tribal drums that open “Your Betrayal” onward, they barely let up for a second. Check out the heavyweight riffing on “Pleasure and Pain” and “Begging for Mercy”, the shredding solos on “The Last Fight” and “Dignity” and the classical progressions of epic six-minute centerpiece “Alone”. Chorus hooks are everywhere, too, the best of which are found on “Bittersweet Memories”.
