As well as celebrating 20 years of The Poison with a massive arena tour with Trivium next year, Bullet For My Valentine have just announced a special anniversary edition of the record.

The Welsh metal heroes are set to honour their 2005 debut album with a deluxe LP due out on November 29, featuring a remastered version of the original plus a whole load of bonus goodies – including 2006’s Live At Brixton for the first time on vinyl.

“I honestly can’t believe it's been 20 years since the release of The Poison, and what an incredible 20 years it’s been,” enthuses BFMV frontman Matt Tuck. “I feel so proud of what we’ve achieved as a band in the last two decades and it all started with that debut album.

“The Poison is such an important part of our lives musically and personally and we know the massive impact it had on the metal world on a global level.”
