Modern Swedish metallers Orbit Culture have been announced as special guests to Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium on their Poisoned Ascendancy Tour.

Celebrating 20 years of their respective careers both bands will be playing their classic albums, The Poison and Ascendancy and in their entirety with the tour now being expanded to include dates in Europe (See Below).

Trivium & BFMV Tour The UK & Europe

Trivium’s second album, “Ascendancy,” released under Roadrunner Records, was recognized as “Album Of The Year” by Kerrang! magazine in the UK. This album has also achieved a gold certification in the UK, indicating sales surpassing 100,000 copies.

Matt Heafy of Trivium and Matt Tuck from Bullet From Valentine stated:

Primordial General Mayhem

Primordial Radio is hugely excited to announce that the unique and ever-evolving London 2-piece BOB VYLAN is set to headline the main event of the Primordial General Mayhem on Saturday 27^th April 2024, with four-piece, loud, unapologetic, rock outfit from Nottingham, AS DECEMBER FALLS confirmed as main support.

Also confirmed for the Saturday event is BLACKGOLD, SAINT AGNES, CALVA LOUISE and NORTH ATLAS with the opening band to be decided by the listeners of Primordial Radio.

“I honestly can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the release of The Poison, and what an incredible 20 years it’s been. I feel so proud of what we’ve achieved as a band in the last two decades and it all started with that debut album.

The Poison is such an important part of our lives musically and personally and we know the massive impact it had on the metal world on a global level. This tour will be made even more special as our brothers in Trivium are also joining us on the road to celebrate and play in its entirety their stunning album Ascendancy.”

“Bullet For My Valentine’s The Poison and Trivium’s Ascendancy are two records whose influence can be heard to this day, in the DNA of modern metal. adds Trivium’s Matt Heafy.

It’s incredible to think of the impact the albums had when they came out in 2005. They were both like bolts of lightning. Both bands grew up independently of each other in different countries and separately from any movement or scene but both shared a common love of melodic heavy metal at the core; and both had similar meteoric rises right out of the gate.

Trivium and BFMV were in such whirlwinds when our respective albums came out that we each never truly got to play together or sit back and celebrate during the maelstrom of constant touring, recording and globetrotting.

But that’s what this anniversary tour is. It’s a celebration by the bands to the fans of an important era, and most importantly it’s an invitation to fans come and have an epic night with us and sing and rage and celebrate the awesome power of the music.”

In November, Heafy joined Bullet For My Valentine on stage in Orlando, Florida, to perform “Tears Don’t Fall” from “The Poison” which you can view below.
