Tears Don't Fall

"Tears Don't Fall" is a heavy metal track by Welsh band Bullet for My Valentine, released as the fourth single from their debut full-length album, The Poison, in June 2006. It won the Kerrang! Award for Best Single and charted on both the Hot Mainstream Rock and Alternative Rock charts. For electric guitarists, the song is a strong introduction to the dual-guitar interplay, palm-muted riffing, and melodic lead work that define Bullet for My Valentine's signature sound.

  • The song runs approximately 5 minutes and 48 seconds, giving guitarists extended riff and lead sections to study and practice.
  • It won the Kerrang! Award for Best Single, recognizing its impact on the early-2000s heavy metal and metalcore scene.
  • A sequel track, also titled "Tears Don't Fall," was released in 2013 on the band's fourth studio album, Temper Temper.
