Trivium VS Bullet for My Valentine - The Poisoned Ascendancy tour will be ending early. Now instead of being a world trek, the shows will end after the American leg completes. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto aired the dirty laundry, and it seems the rest of the band are ok with it considering their crew potentially could have lost work over this. Trivium will continue touring, though those plans are still very much in flux at the moment.

To add insult to injury, now they are using writer Joe Kelly to retcon Peter’s childhood. Now, instead of him being a boring nerdy type who got picked on, he was a troublemaker who stole beer, looked at nudie mags, and was arrested. All with his (newly inserted) childhood friend Brian Nehrid. (old)
