Social Apocalypse is the upcoming eighth studio album by Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine. It will be released on 19 March 2027 through Spinefarm Records and was produced by Carl Bown.

Background

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Poison, the Bullet for My Valentine released a 20th anniversary edition of the album and announced 'The Poisoned Ascendancy' Tour with Trivium co-headlining for 2025, with Trivium celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ascendancy. Bullet for My Valentine also announced that they are in the studio to record their eighth studio album, with hopes to get the album out by 2025. The band pulled out of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour in May 2025, finishing the North American leg, despite initial plans to continue into regions such as South America and Australia into the end of 2025, with Trivium bassist Paolo Gregoletto putting the blame on Matt Tuck.

Bullet for My Valentine released a statement expressing that they decided to focus on the "next chapter", heading back to the studio in the summer to finish their upcoming album and planning to tour in 2026 and 2027, "hitting every corner". In July 2025, the band announced a three-day Australian tour in October for The Poison's anniversary, headlining alone.
