We wont hold that against them

[@ExoScreenager]

Imagine being the band that turned down Wretchedness 😅 That song is killer

[@lt7601]

Yep, their loss and idk if it's because of the 7 string but the song has little "korn" vibe

[@JusTVIDSE]

By Trivium?

[@The_JustJoshing]

@@JusTVIDSE Yes, originally Matt ghost-wrote it for another band and after they didn't do anything with it, he brought it to Trivium.

[@nephilim7992]

can we check the song out anywhere?

Wish you had played the full track at the end, particularly wanted to hear how those layered growls sounded with that great low end.

[@thedankmememetalhead166]

Has his wife went into labor yet? I heard he had to get home during tour.

[@am1992sxe]

The Dank Meme Metalhead yup, they had twins.

BlapDuck is there plans for a special edition?

[@VSdrummer010]

Concrete evidence of why that man was one of the four Roadrunner United "captains" (alongside Rob Flynn, Dino Cazares, and Joey Jordison) when he was around 20 years old, after two great albums in Trivium- only one of which was a RR release...ONE ALBUM. (Ascendancy) A musical virtuoso and prodigy, a songwriter that has that incredibly rare "special shine" that stands out well above the rest...he is an incredible and god-level talented musician. Also love how self-aware and constructively articulate he is too. This was a great insight video!

[@ViciousDenjalicious]

Take all the Spain away

[@jaredhelms4768]

I want a collab album with Heafy and Tremonti. I'd pay all of my money for that.

[@andrewdimartino7426]

I love this type of video Trey! Its like when you have a great meal and the chef invites you back into the kitchen to show you how/why the food was so good! Its really a privilege to see how an artist creates their art.

[@passionsoup3788]

I want more videos like this, showing the artist's writing process.

[@tylert812]

That Power Trip shirt though 🤘🏼

[@klossner7205]

Tyler Titzer Matt Heafy is crust punk

[@MetalAllDayAllNight]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone, let alone Matt himself, say his last name. For 15 years, I've always read it as "Hee-fee". Now I come to find out it's actually pronounced "Hey-fee". Mindblown.

[@jasonpocorus2338]

When he was humming the chorus melody into his phone, I got a straight up Maiden vibe

[@SamiKarvinen]

Matt Hay-fi?

[@nameless3384]

Pls Matt, make more stuff like that. Thats really interesting

[@supermcmattman7549]

Really cool song! ...I legit thought he was about to sing Take On Me at first. Lol. In all seriousness really does sound great

[@JustinOliverMusic]

Where can I hear the song?!

[@taleofrevenge]

Matt Heavy has a vibe about him that reminds me of the Dwayne Johnson

[@metalmaniaclukeuk]

How Can i Listen to That track in full .

[@infernapeDLS]

reallllly enjoyed this !!

[@KevinStudent]

Matt Heafy is good.

[@raven7389]

This is the exact method I used to write 'Enter Sandman' back in the late 70's.

[@michaelcanada6583]

Awesome song. Cool having the egyptian choir voices!!

[@madmax551]

boyyyyy can we get this song for real ?? damn

[@KRayxKodessA]

Anyone else feel like it sounds like Matt is saying “we are the dickhead”?

[@kyrencin3030]

6:57 nice to know that's where he got the melody for IX/What The Dead Men Say's bridge before the solo lol

[@robhowe472]

Crying cause he talks about myritu but there still is no myritu

[@kittenswithketchup]

My favorite song off TSatS was an unused Ghostwrite? THANK GOD.

[@voltaicoceans9217]

Zippopotamus you can find the original demo from 2014 on here

[@Ktouen]

@@voltaicoceans9217 which one is it?

[@voltaicoceans9217]

Eventgericht Ideenfunkkugel The Wretchedness Inside

[@Ktouen]

@@voltaicoceans9217 WHAT fr?

[@voltaicoceans9217]

Eventgericht Ideenfunkkugel Matt said he was asked to write a song for a band but they never called him back about it (he’s never said what band but most people think it’s Upon A Burning Body) and after that he decided to use it for Trivium. The demo is on KZbin and it’s really different but still amazing

[@barakahfactor]

Omg, he mentioned Capharnaum. That was a sick band.

[@blakec1414]

Matt actually did vocals for a capharnaum record wayyy back in the day

[@rizkycaesar18]

First tech death band which matt heafy on vocal 😂😂

[@chanseschneider7555]

How the FUCK IS MATT HEAFY SO TALENTED, lead guitar AND vocals is just showing off at this point

[@jonkerrmusic]

It's been his full-time profession for over 20 years at this point. It's the product of his drive and time invested - something we can all take inspiration from.

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

It makes me happy that he's into Overwatch

[@SefniAsheforr]

I love the more soaring style of power metal vocals and tone in this. I would love to get a hold of the final product.

[@anthonydorsey8402]

Would love to see this song on an album or isn’t actual single on iTunes

[@PavlosJesterhead]

Where the shit's the full song?!

[@MetalArcade]

I notice that matt's singing is actually much louder than his screaming

[@ahoy1]

I think he does an unusual technique for the screaming vocals, doesn't wanna blow his voice out. Can't blame him for that

[@puredistilledwater]

@@ahoy1 yeah, I can see why he wouldn’t. Y’know, he just got over throat cancer from, well, blowing his voice out

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Bro!!! what about his babies?! his wife?! he had not to go for nothing, is there some news about that?!

[@metalheadmaynard2684]

this was recorded before the tour started im sure.

[@kittenswithketchup]

Babies are not born yet, and their dog Miuki is not doing well.

[@kittenswithketchup]

Instagram is the best way to keep up to date with Matt.

[@idolaccho]

@@kittenswithketchup Actually, he posts the same thing in YT, Twitter and FB.

[@Kaylaaaaaxx]

This was most likely recorded before the tour started. As of late last night, the twins still haven’t been born, and their dog Miyuki is sick. Best way to stay up to date is his twitter or Instagram.

[@sergiolucio947]

Really wanna hear the finished song, where can I find it??

[@ChadBillAnderson]

TRIVIUM!

[@martyjaay]

This was great haha. Love videos like this \M/

[@lizardking7772]

Why does he look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt

[@helloworldmo]

Where is the song please ? :(

[@animecentral7575]

Is this song gonna be available somewhere?

[@se7endreams]

PureNightCore There’s an unreleased song they recorded that they plan on sharing sometime in the future. Hopefully before the end of the year.

yep it's a masterpiece. where is my tongue?

[@trialbystone2532]

So where's the song, lads?

[@planetcool2240]

This is excellent and thanks for posting it. This is what I needed for recording the 2021 sessions. Im in the writing stage and Matt nailed it. I've done some of what he's doing but watching this gives me some huge ideas. HIGHLY Recommend this to anyone who write songs in any style of music.

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Nice great job Guys. Matt how's the wife doing?

[@IAmTheRealKen]

Matt Heafy is so talented and humble, damn. Awesome.

[@skinnyrigid]

Anyone know what plugins does Matt use? (EQ, compression, post processing effects) Is he on logic stocks or 3rd party stuff?

[@nickshepley2566]

Exactly, how we think as musicians Love it Does he use Logic Pro for Trivium too?

[@_war_cry]

Where's the complete song mixed

[@michaelcanada6583]

Matts cleans have got so good!

[@_war_cry]

The initial notes of his humming are of the instrumental song ' a view of burning empires' from the triviums debut album ember

[@mattgrundy27]

Amazing. Watching a master of the craft. Thanks for the insight into your creativity. Takes notes kids. Matt is a legend!

[@davidmace4353]

Matt "imma say the song name 8 times in the chorus just watch" Heafy

[@maxscardanelli6185]

I love Trivium! So this was an awesome insight into Matt’s writing process. I can’t wait till it’s released. Hopefully it’ll be on the new/next album. Trey’s vocals are just as awesome as Matt’s. It was also nice of Matt to let Trey have a vocal line on the track.

[@sparksfamily2011]

It’s really great to see the intimacy of the recording process and the dynamics that present themselves throughout. Great inside look.

[@jesser4828]

Does anyone know what recording software they are using? Any recommendations?

[@jayceu1881]

the Pharah reference XD yes. My man. XD hahah. " Leave this to a professional"

[@sirstabbyfork9675]

Ok, 1. Is that logic Pro X, and 2. If it is, how the fuck do you get that large a drum kit in the drum kit designer

[@TheDeathXross]

Will they really have to put the timeframe when they filmed the video so you can chill the fuck out? this was obviously recorded way before they even started touring last month

[@jasonorme3500]

His screamy vocals sound like Brian Fair (shadows fall) on this one.

[@drystanbarnett503]

I think the whole new trivium album his vocals sound like shadows fall

[@TonyMcCrea]

So when is Mrityu project going to see the light of day?

[@Immortalwarriors2022]

Awesome video Matt we are recording our debut album right now any advice

[@blackcoffeemetaltunes7513]

This was incredible to watch & epic to see how he works even on a short time scale!

[@FateofTheFallenOFCL]

I’m about to start writing lyrics for my solo EP, And this is really helping me because I haven’t really wrote lyrics before and I was so stuck I think this will help me get unstuck.

[@crowz6247]

This is pretty much how I’ve written lyrics for the 50+ songs I’ve done. In my experience, it’s much easier to fit lyrics in once you’ve found an idea for the melody or rhythm of the vocals. A good idea for finding a style that fits you is to write as you’re recording, like Matt is doing here. That way you can hear when something doesn’t sound right immediately and address it, and you’re less likely to spend two hours overthinking the words, which often leads to a lack of enthusiasm or unfinished songs.

[@sagenoise]

[@jimmyrayne5425]

I never liked heafys screaming voice he sounds super shaky just my opinion in all honesty it seems after all these years he’s not comfortable

[@nicklammers3633]

I love his screaming, but his clean vocals are very limited.

[@jimmyrayne5425]

Yeah i can understand that but he just sounds super shaky in this video I’ve always liked Coreys screams way better

[@MachineHeadDissent]

🤙😎🤘🤘🤘

[@RyanStrainMusic]

Cool to know we both write the same way

[@wanderergrim]

I can see him writing a song for videos games or some mythology/fantasy movie

[@thepromethean00]

He did shattering the skies above for god of war 3. Which was perfect

[@jpweidemoyer8544]

Matt “Hey-fy”? Fuck, I’ve been mispronouncing his name for years! My apologies, Matt \m/

[@lordraptor5042]

Trivium is by far the MOST commercial band I have ever heard. Its so commercial it almost makes me wanna gag. The vocalist is a huge Kirk Hammet wanna be also. On a positive note, commercial or not, they do their craft well and they respect the old bands. To me thats almost everything so i dont bash em much.

[@elias.7513]

HE HAS A POWER TRIP SHIRT FUCK YES!

[@muhammadluqman9165]

He write this song just like,.....having a breakfast...OMG what i'm doing with my life...?

[@relyksdjoser6429]

What the fuck is up with those screams? They sound like some one is doing deep grudge croaks and trying to talk but on the program they sound heavily distorted and layered. Why did we get the shit take when the good ones are not recorded or did he just use effects to make that puppy dog sounding growl sound good?

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

Matt uses a very specific vocal technique because it's the safest technique for his voice. He has said himself it sounds alright live but he uses his old screams on the albums cause the safe scream sounds really weird recorded

[@renaldobruggemann9572]

matt, everyone like ur high, everyone who listen to Trivium everytime, what u have make with your voice, your voice was done ( done is a hart fucking hart word) and now, what shall i say, im so fucking happy, your high is amazing. greetings from Germany :)
