As I stated in my last interview with Trivium, the tour manager had some issues with her laptop so there was a lot of waiting around for her to try to get my interviews.

We (my friend Martin and I) got to the the venue (The National) in Richmond Virginia about an hour before my first interview of the event with Corey Beaulieu of Trivium.

About 20 minutes later and a little asking around, I found out that she had a mishap the night before with her computer and had to try to get it fixed …read more

All that remains This Darkened Heart is the second release for the Massachusetts band on Prosthetic Records. With Behind Silence And Solitude three years under their belt they had established their name and sound. In 2003 it was time to mold that sound into a better barrage of metal mastery.
A line up change went into effect with the exit of Chris Bartlett (Guitars) and Dan Egan (Bass), and Producer Adam Dutkiewecz (Killswitch Engage) coming into the picture. Matt Deis came onto Bass and paino and this would be his only studio recording with the band. Unfortunately this would …read more
