The Poisoned Ascendancy tour commemorates the joint 20th anniversaries of Bullet for My Valentine’s iconic album The Poison and Trivium’s celebrated release Ascendancy.

Bullet for My Valentine Set to Record New Album This Summer

Initially, fans anticipated that both bands would extend their tour to include South America, Australia, and other regions. However, Bullet for My Valentine has chosen to shift their focus entirely towards creating their next musical chapter. They are excited to announce plans to enter the studio this summer to work on new material that promises to be groundbreaking.

“As we approach the final shows of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to every fan who has come out to celebrate this journey with us,” the band expressed. “The shows have been absolutely phenomenal, and we have cherished every moment connecting with each of you. Being part of this band means everything to the four of us, and we feel incredibly fortunate to reflect on two life-changing albums that have defined our careers alongside Trivium, for whom we hold immense respect and admiration.”

After recognizing the “incredible achievement” of over two decades in the music industry, Bullet for My Valentine expressed their eagerness to return to the studio later this summer. They promised fans that this upcoming album will be their best work yet. Additionally, the band is already in the early stages of planning for extensive tours in 2026 and 2027, aiming to reach every corner of the globe.

Their statement concluded with heartfelt thanks to their loyal fans, along with the promise, “We’ll be back with all of you very soon.”

Trivium’s Perspective on the Conclusion of the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour

Earlier this week, Trivium bassist Paolo Gregoletto attributed the early end of the Poisoned Ascendancy tour to frontman Matt Tuck, suggesting that Tuck was the one who did not want to continue despite prior arrangements being in place.

“Matt Tuck didn’t want to do it, even after we had planned everything and had a lot of progress — I’m not sure why,” Gregoletto mentioned during a livestream. The band later commented on TikTok, stating that Tuck is “the sole decision-maker of the band and lacks respect for us and our crew.”

Despite the public drama surrounding the tour, Trivium frontman Matt Heafy shared his appreciation for the tour in his own statement on Tuesday. “I’ve relished every show, every day, every moment; my experience has made me more present and grateful than ever,” he expressed.

As for the changes in their tour plans, Heafy stated: “We will return. Everywhere. And we will deliver some of the greatest Trivium songs we have ever created — from our home base, the Trivium Hangar Studios.”

Hey everyone, Bullet here

As we prepare for the final shows of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has come out to celebrate this journey with us. The shows have been nothing short of phenomenal, and we have truly enjoyed connecting with every single one of you.

Being part of this band is the most significant aspect of our lives.

Achieving a career spanning over 20 years is an incredible milestone, and we fully recognize the dedication and sacrifice that accompanies such a journey.

With this in mind, we collectively feel that the moment has arrived for us to devote our complete attention to the next chapter of Bullet For My Valentine. We are thrilled to return to the studio later this summer to finish what we assure you will be our best album yet. In conjunction with this, we are already mapping out our plans for the 2026 and 2027 touring cycles, aiming to reach every corner of the globe. We are incredibly excited to share new music with you all. Our fans mean everything to us, and we are eternally thankful for your unwavering support. We’ll reconnect with all of you very soon.
