This September, UK metalcore heroes Bullet For My Valentine confirmed the March 19th arrival of their next, eagerly-anticipated full length, Social Apocalypse. Realigning with producer Carl Brown, the album was introduced with the poignant, powerful title track, underscoring a return to form for the veteran UK aggressors.
Among the important takeaways from the initial album announcement included the confirmation of not one, but two collaboration tracks. In addition to an entry with Chrissy Costanza from Against the Current, the mammoth joint effort with Will Ramos of Lorna Shore has now been revealed.
Described by the band's own Matt Tuck as arguably the heaviest cut from BFMV to date, the track showcases the range of one of extreme music's most celebrated vocalists with Ramos shifting from forceful screams to melodic clean vocals, trading lines with Tuck for powerhouse tandem.
The BFMV vocalist offered of the single, ""IDTT' felt like the perfect follow to 'Social Apocalypse. Lyrically, it's about the fear of an uncertain future and the frustration of feeling trapped by life's expectations. I really wanted to capture the struggle with anxiety, disillusionment, and the pressure of time slipping away. Beneath the anger lies a fierce determination to fight back, reject false promises, and refuse to be controlled by fear. It's an absolute monster of a track and with the addition of guest vocalist Will Ramos the song is taken to intense new heights sonically. We absolutely love this one and we think you will too.''
Speaking to the thematic undercurrent of the songs, Matt Tuck previously explained the headspace that brought on the latest collection of songs, "People are being pitted against each other. The world is full of conflict instead of unity. As a father, I look at what the world is like for younger people, and how completely different it is now."
Running up to the release of Social Apocalypse, Bullet For My Valentine have also announced their biggest EU/UK headlining tour to date. The trek will feature support from Pendulum and Dark Divine and will include a penultimate play at London's O2 Arena - a venue the band previous sold out during their previous co-headlining trek with Trivium.
