[edit] Genre
They are a very popular band in the rock community and are often seen as screamo. Should Screamo be put in with their genre?
[edit] Are Bullet screamo then?
No. Bullet ain't screamo. They're Killswitch-lite, and to boot they only got signed for two reasons; 1) the success of Funeral for a Friend and 2) the singer looks a tad like Ian Watkins.
I Agree Bullet aren't screamo but they may be catagorised as Emo-Metalcore but to be honest as a Bullet for my Valentine fan I would call them just Metalcore they may not be as heavy as Kilswitch engage or As I Lay Dying (other metalcore bands) but They are still called metalcore.

I know. Let's call them "post-screamo"! Aren't I smrt
[edit] Chill Dude....
Okay, I think you have a little bit too much time on your hands if you feel the need to write such unfounded garbage about such a talented band. Sure, they may be arrogant, they may be unoriginal (although I wouldn't say that) but they play passionately and with great skill.
Anyways, in regard to their genre; yeah I think metalcore pretty much covers it at the moment, but I have a feeling someone might have to change it in a few years when they hone their sound and the scene finds some new bandwagon.

[edit] I AGree with Morda
Bullet is a great Metalcore band and just because the vocalslist brags about haveing sex with so many woman, doesnt make him arragant. If you were to have sex with alot of woman wouldnt you brag to? yes they may have an additude doent mean there a bad band. I think Bullet is going to be a great band, that many Heavy metal fans will enjoy listening to.

[edit] Metalcore NOT Emo
I know its a bit of a moot point that a band like B4MV sing about their feelings (as do many 'emo' bands, and funnily enough; 99% of all musicians - yes that even includes Deicide) but that doesn't warrant them to be labled as an emo band. My personal take on bands genre is for me defined my their actual sound, and as far as Bullet goes, their threadwork is waaay too sick for your typical emo band...okay so they may not have Metallica-like hooks and it MAY sound a bit contrived but that in my honest opinion does not mean they are an emo band...etc etc :)
So...please consult this comment when thinking about changing their genre (as it is 2006).

Their lyrics are emo, their music isn't.
[edit] Gallery
I made the gallery thing (?) in the Albums section, I don't know if it's a dumb idea, and that's why I only did it with the albums. So, yeah, you could always change it back.

[edit] Genre
Aren't they also thrash metal or crossover thrash. DavidJJJ 18:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Not necessarily, There are differences between crossover thrash and metalcore, i.e. crossover thrash is thrash metal (or just metal) crossed over to punk music and its stylistic origins. While as metalcore is heavy metal with hardcore punk or just hardcore and that is a hybrid genre.
[edit] Influences
Now maybe I just haven't heard enough BFMV and I can't speak for what the band themselves are influenced by, but I can't hear much melodic death metal influence in their music. Does anyone have a citation? --Nosmo 17:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Metalcore by itself is Melodic Death Metal influenced.
Yes and also Hardcore influenced.
[edit] Maiden Openers
It should be added that these guys will open for Iron Maiden during the US tour.
[edit] Oh but they are now.
BMFV really is sounding more and more like Screamo now. With lyrics like, "your tears don't fall, they crash around me" you really can't argue that they are not. They also have the clean/gutteral vocal combination that is prevalent in Screamo bands. I think however, they have recently developed into a Screamo band, it might just be them wanting to get some money off of the recent popularity, but you have to admit that the newest album is entirely more Screamo then their previous releases. Lots of bands undergo changes throughout their careers, I am not saying BMFV is a bad band, I am just saying that the recent release for now makes them a bit Screamo.
