Hear Trivium frontman Matt Heafy strip back four Ascendancy songs to give them a new acoustic feel.
Words: Emily Carter
Because he’s apparently not already busy enough working on metal sea shanties and a Mike Shinoda Twitch collab, Trivium’s Matt Heafy has shared a brand-new four-track EP of acoustic songs from Ascendancy.
The vocalist and guitarist has reworked Rain, Dying In Your Arms, Suffocating Sight and Departure from the 2005 metal classic, with this release in particular the second of a weekly endeavour that’ll see him revisiting material from every Trivium album to date – bar 2020’s What The Dead Men Say – in this more mellow way.
The List: Stereoboard s Best Albums of 2020 Monday, 14 December 2020 Written by Stereoboard
Well, that was weird, wasn t it? 2020 will not be fondly remembered (aside from one particular bloke losing a big job) and 2021 is starting its race with some ground to make up, but as we locked down and stayed home the soundtrack was excellent at least. So much good music made its way into the world over the past 12 months, reminding us of what we have to cherish and also what we potentially have to lose. Here s our pick of the best of the best with a reminder: the artistic and creative industries cannot be allowed to wither and die. Support your local record shop. Support your local venues. Keep going.
