The balls it takes to not only just call the next level drummer of the band whose song just melted your face, but to do it with 3% battery and have it drop him during the call.

[@alaskawargbirmo2496]

Heard the singer on Tom & Dan Show on Real Radio 104.1, he was live in the studio, the guys did not listen to their music, but it was a great interview and the dude is super nice. Real down to earth, was not insulted the guys didn't know their music well but they are from the same area, down there in Orlando, FL., and was great to hear him fill them in on his history. He only began singing because they needed someone to sing, and he was born to play guitar. Learned he could shred early on in his life.

You are 100% right; I met the guys in Trivium back in 2009 when they touring with Chimaira and Whitechapel. They were so gracious!

[@brettjaramillo1054]

These guys deserve SO much more fame than they get. It sucks they haven't gotten to the level of say Slipknot and A7X in terms of popularity.

[@Traviolie]

They probably never will simply because they're not a huge media band. Self-reliant and fan driven.

[@Frederick0220]

Totally agree. Trivium is in my Mt. Rushmore alongside SOAD, Korn, and BMTH. They deserve to be much bigger

[@toomanyblocks8448]

I love both a7x and slipknot but they're popular because the metal there is so diluted, Trivium isn't sacrificing it though

If you thought this was dark or heavy you need to check A Skylines Severance from their In Waves album and Thrown into the fire from their Sin and the Sentence album

[@jasonnielsen5976]

I know you've been going bat-shit for Trivium, Matt Heafy has some hidden gems, look up the Roadrunner United project, he wrote In The Fire specifically for King Diamond to sing, and it's written in the style of King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, it's a solid banger. He also wrote Dawn of the Golden Age with Dani Filth in mind, the entire album is an awesome concept

[@fasd538]

Trivium are awesome, love pretty much all music they create and this is no different. Topnotch. Also, Alex... I know you sometimes enjoy checking out new-ish bands. How about a kind of new (from 2017) band called Ulfven from Sweden that really has thrown out some awesome music our way? I could recommend the two singles ("Korpen" and "Häxkonst") they released from their EP from early 2020, and also "Skärselden" which is a bit longer track from the same EP. Awesome melodic death/doom imho that really resonates well with me! Some really great production as well.

[@criimsontale]

Yo Alex how do you like your Sennheiser's after all this time? How do they hold up?

[@MarkNuuuuuutt]

Didn’t know Dragonforce got into the metalcore scene
