Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium Tour Dispute: A Rift in the Metal Scene
A public feud has erupted between metal bands Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium, leaving fans in Latin America, Australia, and Japan uncertain about the fate of their upcoming tour dates. According to reports from the metal news website, Lambgoat, the disagreement centres on a dispute over the "Poisoned Ascendancy" tour, which was set to feature both bands alongside August Burns Red, Sylosis, and Bleed From Within.
As quoted by Lambgoat, a Mexican concert promotion account announced that Matt Tuck, lead vocalist of Bullet For My Valentine, had decided not to continue with the tour, citing only the remaining North American dates that had already been agreed upon. This decision effectively cancelled the band’s plans for Australia and Latin America, including Mexico. However, there is a possibility that Trivium may still perform in Mexico as part of a solo tour celebrating the anniversary of their album "Ascendancy".
The rift between the two bands appears to have been sparked by comments made by Trivium’s bassist, Paolo Gregoletto, during a livestream. According to Lambgoat, Gregoletto called out Matt Tuck for being the sole reason behind the cancellation of the tour, stating that Tuck was the primary decision-maker for Bullet For My Valentine. This led to a public backlash, with Trivium subsequently cutting ties with Tuck.
In a further escalation of the situation, both bands have unfollowed each other on social media. Trivium have since referred to the tour as a "farewell" tour, implying that it has been cut short. However, Bullet For My Valentine have yet to officially confirm the cancellation of the tour, leaving fans in the dark about the future of their tour dates.
Lambgoat reports that the tension between the two bands has been building over a disagreement about the international tour schedule. The website quotes a source close to the matter, stating that the situation has become increasingly complicated. As the situation continues to unfold, fans of both bands are eagerly awaiting an official statement from Bullet For My Valentine regarding the status of their tour.
The "Poisoned Ascendancy" tour, which kicked off earlier this year, has been a major event in the metal scene, featuring some of the biggest names in the genre. The cancellation of the tour would be a significant blow to fans who were looking forward to seeing both Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium perform live. As the situation continues to develop, one thing is certain – the metal scene will be watching with bated breath to see how this drama plays out.
The public feud between Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that come with touring and collaborating with other artists. As Lambgoat notes, "the metal scene is no stranger to controversy and drama", and this latest development is set to be a major talking point in the coming weeks.
In related news, fans of both bands are taking to social media to express their disappointment and concern about the cancellation of the tour. As one fan noted, "it’s a shame to see two of my favourite bands at odds with each other". Only time will tell how this situation will be resolved, but one thing is certain – the metal scene will be keeping a close eye on developments.
