Sunday night the House of Blues in Dallas was home to metal core powerhouses Of Mice & Men and Bullet for My Valentine. The fans were ready – the 2,500 venue capacity filled to the brim and as BFMV lead singer Matthew Tuck stated “…was one of the first shows to sell out!”. If you had to summarize this show in one word, it would be gratitude, over the course of the show the artist took multiple breaks to express their gratitude for the fans, this being “faithfulness at its finest” according to OM&M lead singer Aaron Pauley.

Overall the artists on this tour are incredible, besides the love they gave to the fans, the performance was out of this world, vocals were top tier and the production was something not to be missed! It is apparent that the artists are treating this tour and their live set as if they were playing the biggest venues in order to capture that high level of energy – none of which was lost on fans. Chants of their names and songs never ended throughout the night.

This absolutely electrifying show is perfect for any Bullet fan whether new to them or the ones who were listening to The Poison album (which is nearing 20 years since its release) hoodie up, eyeliner smeared in the backseat of their parent’s car. Bullet puts on an enjoyable and energetic performance that should be seen at least once.
