Matt and Travis of Trivium have touched ground here in the UK, where they are now currently mixing their debut release on Roadrunner with Andy Sneap. In fact, we have words to share from the band. Frontman Matt Heafy relays this following: “Ello Mates, Matt here in jolly old England! Right now Travis and I are residents of Sir Andy Sneap’s Dairywood Farm. We’ve just been chilling in his studio for the better part of everyday as Andy tweaks out this mix- it sounds massive by the way. So let’s see updates… the recording is coming along and has a bit more of a ways to go (but it sounds godly), we’re all psyched to tear it the hell up for the 4 Fear Factory shows and 1 Killswitch Show, and Halo 2 came out (our new van pastime haven’t tried it yet though- being in a different country and all). I’ll be sure to take some pictures soon – I’m a little reluctant to go outside right now it’s absolutely freezing for a pair of Florida boys. But id have to say the setting of this studio is like some epic farm time movie (I think that’s a contradictory statement- ha ha). You’ll see what I mean eventually – the guest house Travis and I are staying in was built 1698 (but it’s in shockingly good shape). Pictures of us riding cows across meadows will come soon. Cheers,” Matt Trivium Ascendancy coming early 2005

Late last week Still Remains made their way out to Vancouver, to start the recording of their Roadrunner debut, currently titled Of Love And Lunacy (coming early 2005).

Until then, check out the band’s ARTIST PAGE for a new bio and to download a tune from the band’s 2004 EP, If Love Was Born To Die.
