The
four members of Florida-based metal phenomenon Trivium have shaken the
entire world of heavy metal since their inception in 2000 – yet this
group of regular kids from Orlando had to work harder than most to
achieve recognition at all. The group spewed forth at a high school
talent contest and, after performing a number of low-key gigs at parties
and small venues over two years, the quartet honed their metallic
skills, playing thrash metal classics in rehearsal while gradually
developing their own sound on the road. The
hard hours in dank basements paid off when Heafy was awarded the welcome
honour of ‘Best Metal Guitarist Award’ at the Orlando Metal Awards.
Soon, Trivium recorded their first demo which in turn saw their wares
seized upon by the German hardcore/metalcore label Lifeforce. The
four-piece dispatched their songs with such mature craft and flashy
interplay that there was no chance they would remain on an independent
label for long - Roadrunner records were the lucky company to receive a
signed contract and they helped push Trivium beyond underground status,
making their second album Ascendancy
a worldwide best-seller. To demonstrate their appeal, the band gained
high profile touring support slots with the likes of Machine Head, Fear
Factory and in 2006, the mighty Iron Maiden. |
