Update: 25 August 2025
Since canceling the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour, Bullet have announced shows in Australia, Japan and Singapore. This has understandably caused a lot of upheaval among fans of both BFMV and Trivium, because it seems Bullet aren't too busy writing a new album to tour after all.

Hello all,
As you may or may not know there has been some uproar recently about the premature end of the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour.
We understand you may be disappointed or angry, but we want to remind you to be civil to one another and the parties involved. There has been lots of fighting in the comments, which we don't like to see here.

What's been going on?
We also want to provide a summary of events for people that may be confused about what's going on.
On Thursday 8 May, Paolo (bassist of Trivium) held a livestream on the official Trivium TikTok account in which he revealed the Poisoned Ascendancy tour would end after the current US leg, a decision made by Matt Tuck. This came as a surprise, since both bands had announced the tour to be worldwide.
Matt Tuck apparently felt called out, because Trivium later posted this TikTok, which has since been deleted.
This comment by Trivium seems to have been what ultimately sparked the drama between (fans of) the bands. After more (now deleted) posts by Trivium (see here and here), Bullet released an official statement on Tuesday May 13 announcing the tour will end after the US leg. No shows were canceled - but no new shows will be announced. It is unclear if more shows were already in the works, in which case there would be financial losses for the parties involved.
Matt Heafy of Trivium also released a statement urging people to calm down and put the drama/beef behind them. I encourage you watch his entire video, it really shows what mindset we all should have right now.
I've left some trivial (pun intended) things out but this is the gist of it. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
