SLIPKNOT, TRIVIUM Members Interviewed In Montreal; Video Available
May 6, 2009Musik Universe has uploaded a new video interview with SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray and TRIVIUM guitarist Corey Beaulieu conducted on April 29, 2009 when the two bands played Montreal, Quebec, Canada as part of their Canadian tour with 3 INCHES OF BLOOD. Watch the three-minute clip below.
As previously reported, SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan has been forced to leave the band's Canadian tour due to what singer Corey Taylor has described as "a very terrible, terrible predicament going on in [Crahan's] family".
Crahan previously missed several SLIPKNOT shows because his wife is ill with Crohn's disease.
SLIPKNOT's video for the song "Sulfur" was shot on March 9 in the Los Angeles area and was directed by Shawn Crahan and P.R. Brown (MÖTLEY CRÜE, MARILYN MANSON, CHIMAIRA, AVENGED SEVENFOLD),who helmed the last two SLIPKNOT clips, "Psychosocial" and "Dead Memories". The video depicts the nine members rocking out in groups of three and submerged in water one at a time. The video concept was modeled after a video installation by Bill Viola called "Ascension" that's currently on display at the Des Moines Arts Center.
Crahan told HeadbangersBlog.com about the clip, "This is the third video I've done with Paul Brown and with each video we learn more about each other and the art of SLIPKNOT, and we build on that knowledge with each new project. It's great to jump around and try new people, but sometimes it's better to stay with a winning team.
"When I write a treatment, I always think, 'What has SLIPKNOT not done? What can we embark upon that will be fun and knowledge-enhancing instead of the same old song and dance?' Our business can be routine, so I need the band to be able to do something brand new so we can look back at it later and say, 'God, this was different and fun and really artistic.'"
TRIVIUM will embark on a headlining tour of Australia later this month. They will be joined by HEAVEN SHALL BURN and BLACK TIDE.
TRIVIUM's latest album, "Shogun", was released in North America on September 30, 2008 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was mixed in London by Colin Richardson (SLIPKNOT, MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, NAPALM DEATH),with Jeff Rose and Martin "Ginge" Ford assisting on engineering duties.
