After our "most brutal Metal Event of the past year" with Arch Enemy, Philippines will be swayed again by another international heavy metal act hailing from the State of Florida. The quartet of American heavy metal band, Trivium, who brought us "A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation", "Dying in Your Arms", "And Sadness Will Sear", a personal favorite of mine and of course, the well known "Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr", will land on our humble abode to witness the Manila style of thrashing.^_~
Hold it! I know you don't want me to miss "Kirisute Gomen", from their latest work, "Shogun", which marked the return of screaming vocals. The said album is also by far "the best" according to many fans. Matt Heafy himself said on its release last 2008 that it's "going to crush anything they've ever done". It's still breaking records so no news of new album for the band yet.
Currently, they are preparing for their UK tour supported by Chimaira and Rise to Remain AND I'm surprised Heafy just got married, heheheh... BUT mark your calendar already local metal heads. After their Jakarta, Indonesia gig on the 11th of next month, we'll experience our first heavy metal Valentine's with Trivium on February 13th at A-venue Hall, Makati Avenue, Makati City. Be there early to catch performances by our very own bands Valley of Chrome and Slapshock. Gates will open at 7PM and show will start at exactly 8PM.
