So... where's the new album?

I've been wondering this for a while.

After everything that happened with the Poisoned Ascendancy tour, Bullet for My Valentine pulled out of the remaining dates, and one of the reasons given was to focus on writing and recording the next album.

It's been quite a while now, and unless I've completely missed something, there's still been no new music or even much of an update.

I'm not trying to start another Trivium vs Bullet argument. I genuinely like Bullet's older material and was looking forward to hearing what they were working on. I'm just curious if anyone knows what's going on.

Because Trivium finished the tour, wrote and released an EP AND have a timeline for their new album to drop early 2027.

Was it all just Tuck's ego ? I heard that Trivium blew Bullet out of the water every night?
