Mixing imminent with Andy Sneap, update from the band… “Hello everyone, Hope you are all doing well – Got some news to share – first we are pleased to announce that Paul Romano, Work Hardened Studios will be doing all of the artwork/graphics for our upcoming CD ASCENDANCY slated for a February 2005 release. Matt provided Paul with the original artwork, story & concept and Paul will take it to a whole ‘nother level – what we have seen so far looks awesome. Most of the studio work with Jason is completed – some clean up in progress right now, but the “screaming-ass” vocals, clean vocals, drums, bass, melodic guitars and solos are pretty much completed and sound pretty damn good. Next on the agenda is to deliver what we have to Andy Sneap – Backstage Productions/Studios in Derbyshire, England. Travis & Matt will be leaving for England November 5th to work with Andy during the final mix and mastering of Ascendancy. This obviously will be a great learning experience – Andy has mixed/mastered/produced some great CD’s so we can’t wait to get started. We are fans of the band Every Time I Die and recently we became aware of the situation they had when their “6th” member Jeff Stanahan roadie, merch man, great friend of the band became very seriously ill while on the road – Jeff is in a hospital in St. Louis hundreds of miles from home – he needs all of our help not only with our positive thoughts and prayers but in helping raise some additional money to offset his hospital bills. ETID tours their asses off and anyone who is in this game knows that is part of the drill – so when someone becomes ill and needs help it is important we all do what we can to help out – to donate to Jeff’s cause and help him and his family out please click on this link BENEFIT INFORMATION FOR JEFF “Durst” STRANAHAN to read the story and donate what you can to help out – we know it will be appreciated. We want to thank those of you that have purchased shirts and CD’s off the Trivium web site – we ran out of stock and just recently got all the backorders filled – so Thank You very much for your support and patience – we still have some work to do on the shop – but we will get to it and make it better with more selections. We also want to thank everyone who has emailed and asked to be a part of the Trivium street team – while we don’t have anything formally set up we are looking into it for next year – we know how much the Roadrunner Street teams helps out and we appreciate that – we need to do more in that area and are looking into the best ways to do it where we can manage it properly. Well that about does it – as always…. Thanks for your support, m/ Corey, Paolo, Travis & Matt”
