TRIVIUM Joined By SLIPKNOT, MACHINE HEAD Members For METALLICA Cover
April 12, 2012SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR vocalist Corey Taylor and MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn joined Florida metallers TRIVIUM on stage last night (Wednesday, April 11) at the fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards show at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles to perform a cover version of METALLICA's "Creeping Death". Video footage of their appearance can be seen below.
In a 2010 interview, TRIVIUM guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy was asked who inspired him the most when he was first starting out as a musician. "If it weren't for James Hetfield [METALLICA], I literally wouldn't be here," he said. "I mean, I know that there are a lot of other musicians, in that band as well, especially from the 'Black Album' era, but it was Hetfield who really brought me into metal. To see their live shows and see what a commanding presence he was, and to see how good of a guitar player he is. So, he got me into everything, then I bridged out from there."
TRIVIUM's latest album, "In Waves", sold 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart — the highest U.S. chart entry of the band's career. The group's previous CD, "Shogun", opened with just under 24,000 units back in October 2008 to debut at No. 23. The effort followed up "The Crusade", which registered a first-week tally of 31,000 copies in October 2006 to enter the chart at No. 25.
