Scream Aim Fire is the second studio album by Welsh metalcore band Bullet for My Valentine. It was released on January 28, 2008, as stated in Kerrang!.1 The band stated that this album would be considerably heavier than their previous album. Scream Aim Fire has fewer screaming vocals than it's predecessor, partly because of the problem lead singer Matthew Tuck had with his tonsils.

Scream Aim Fire went straight to number 5 in the UK album Charts and number 4 in the Australian album charts. Additionally, the album hit number 4 on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of about 53,000. Since its release Scream, Aim, Fire has sold over 510,000 copies worldwide

The title track Scream Aim Fire is featured in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour.
