This next story is a common one. Trivium have reached that point in their career where they have realised they’re not bigger than Jesus, and that they probably should just re-hash the stuff that made them big in the first place. It happens to a lot of bands; Korn, and Metallica to a slightly lesser extent, just for example.
You know the deal. Band releases album. Album makes the band big. Band then think that because they’re big, they can try to “push boundaries” (read release shit music) and that people will still like them. Band fall flat on their faces and wonder where their income has gone too. Band decide they’ll go “back to their roots” in a desperate attempt to reclaim their credibility and popularity. And then more often than not, this results in the band once again falling flat on their faces…
Yeah, so guess what Trivium are planning on doing?
