Trivium, just in Europe for the tour. In Amsterdam they tell us how nice it is to see the end of the tunnel after years of touring. That's good, and it means that there will be some new material soon. They are inspired and already have some demo-work but they can't say how it's going to be. Inspiration? You decide what it is, according to Trivium and partying can be a part of that. Right now, they're finishing the tour, supporting other bands.

"Partying? Yeah.. Right now it's boring because I feel like shit"

Despite this big tour with their friends of Machine Head they were kind of an supporting band. And then, especially in the metal scene, you can expect different reactions, from hostile to very friendly. How Trivium experiences this is one of the subjects. And we also got to know a bit more about the upcoming album. What can they tell us? And how did they arrange this tour.

"I never get that. The negativity in music? It doesn't make any sense to me at all"

Corey explains that singer Matthew concentrated himself more on the singing rather than screaming on the album. Very interesting information you will find in this cool interview. (July 2006)
