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.
