A single (with seven-string guitar) for Bullet For My Valentine

During a question-and-answer session with LouderMatt Tuck revealed that Bullet For My Valentine could release a new single as early as January 2025, with a twist: “I have a seven-string guitar [depuis peu]and I'm learning how to use it. The first single from our next campaign will feature this guitar.”

His Trivium counterpart Matt Heafy joked: “You should try a nine-string guitar next! It’s absurd, but so much fun to play.”

Dream collaborations

Asked about their desire for musical collaborations, the two Matts responded with surprising ideas:

• Matt Tuck : “I would love to do a collaboration track with Sleep Token. Mixing the intensity of Bullet with the magic of their Music would be really interesting. Besides, if they want to collaborate, let me know.”
• Matt Heafy : “My dream would be to work with Hans Zimmer, he’s my musical hero in terms of composition.”
