TRIVIUM: Post-OZZFEST Update

September 6, 2005

Orlando-based metallers TRIVIUM have posted the following message on their official web site:

"First we would like to extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to all the souls negatively affected by Hurricane Katrina, we have friends, family and fans along the gulf coast and our thoughts are with everyone impacted. If you are able please find time to donate what you can to help the victims of this terrible tragedy.

"We had a great ending to yesterdays final Ozzfest show in West Palm Beach, we got to see alot of family, friends & fans — it was a good day. We enjoyed our time on the tour, especially playing and meeting new friends and fans. All in all, it was quite an expericence and we are thankful for the opportunity.

"We will be taking it easy for the next 3 days then its back to the road. We leave Thursday (September 8, 2005) for our first-ever headlining run in the U.K. Joining us for the Ascendancy Tour will be ALL THAT REMAINS and IT DIES TODAY. We will be playing songs off 'Ember To Infeno' as well as 'Ascedancy' with a few suprises thrown in here and there, this will be a fun tour and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

"Emails, comments and requests - we have a ton of emails and comments that we didn't have time to answer while on tour and we aren't sure if we will be able to get to them all before we leave, but we will catch up on our reading them over the next few days, we did check out the fan art link and there is some great work being submitted, very creative.

"We do appreciate those of you who take time to write or comment and show your support in so many ways. It is so cool and we appreciate it very much. We did get to meet a lot of members from our message boards and myspace this summer and we got some pictures with you — which was cool and thanks to everyone who sent pictures through-out the tour to our webmaster to be posted on the sites, thats awesome.

"We hope you are all safe and doing well, we will talk to you soon!!"
