Matt Tuck of Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE spoke to AndrewHaug.com, Australia’s first-ever dedicated 24/7 rock and metal online radio station, about it’s going to be like for the band to embark on its first pandemic-era international tour. “I think the best thing that we can do now, as far as the band and the crew, is just get double vaccinated and just kind of do what we need to do if we need to travel,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “It’s not a huge ask to do a test before getting on a flight, for example — it’s not really a big ask — and if that’s what it takes for us to be able to continue on with our life and our musical journey and our career, that’s what we’ll do. “The world is a big place, a...

This doesn’t make sense.’” He added, “We were supposed to ...

The critics’ reviews are now in for The Matrix Ruserrections and the film has clocked in at a conservative 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.
