The Poisoned Ascendancy EU Tour 2025
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and TRIVIUM on joint anniversary tour in Europe!
"I can't believe it's been an incredible 20 years since the release of The Poison," explains Matt Tuck, frontman of Bullet For My Valentine. "I'm proud of what we've achieved as a band over the last two decades, it all started with that debut album. The Poison is such an important part of our lives musically and personally. We realize what a huge impact it has had on the metal world. This tour means a lot to us as we'll be on the road with our friends from Trivium, who will be playing their stunning full-length album Ascendancy."
"Bullet For My Valentines The Poison and Trivium's Ascendancy are two records whose influence can still be heard in the DNA of modern metal today," confirms Trivium frontman Matt Heafy. "It's incredible to think of the impact they had when they were released in 2005. They hit like lightning bolts. Both bands grew up independently in different countries and away from any movement or scene, but at their core shared a common love of melodic heavy metal. And both had similarly meteoric rises from the start."
He continues: "When our albums came out, there was such a buzz around Trivium and BFMV that we never really got to play together or celebrate together in the maelstrom of constant touring and recording. But that's what the anniversary tour is all about. It's an invitation for fans to come and join us for an epic evening of singing, celebrating and feeling the incredible power of music."
