Wikipedia article




"'The Last Fight'" is a song by Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine, released as the second and lead UK single from their third album, 'Fever', on 19 April 2010 to the radio and a limited 7" edition of 1000 copies on 17 April 2010 with "Begging for Mercy" as a B-side. An acoustic version of the song was released as a "Pre-order Only" bonus track on the iTunes version of the album. Before all that, "Begging for Mercy" was offered for free download on 14 February 2010 from the band's official website for a limited time.

Reception



"The Last Fight" is one of the most successful songs of 'Fever', according to most of the critics. 'Rock Sound' establishes that "[...] it demonstrate as much from the outset, presenting fast-paced passages before parrying the momentum into upswings of melody".
"[...] Fever is unlikely to win Bullet for My Valentine more respect amongst their peers, but this could be the album to persuade non-believers."
Along with "Pleasure and Pain" and "Dignity", 'PopMatters' states that these are "[...] high-energy, dynamic songs with powerful vocals and creative solos"; and, along with "Your Betrayal" and the title-track, "Fever", create a "brilliant opening trio", according to 'BBC'.
"[...] This collection will raise the temperatures of metal fans across the globe."

Music video



The music video was released for the UK on 12 March 2010 on the band's MySpace website and on 18 March 2010 worldwide. It consists of a fight between two men in a poorly lit room while the band are playing the song, apparently in the same place. After a long fight, the masked fighter's mask is removed, and it is shown that the man was fighting himself.
