A note from Trivium, following last weekend’s Florida RoadRage show, amidst the chaos of catagory 4 Hurricane Charley. “Hello Everyone We first want to extend our sympathies and best wishes to those who have been negatively impacted by Hurricane Charley. We especially want to thank everyone here in Orlando and the surrounding areas that braved the rains, loss of power, street lights and terrible driving conditions during the aftermath of Hurricane Charley to come out to the House of Blues to support the Road Rage Tour Featuring Chimaria & Machine Head (both putting on superb sets) – the support was awesome. Paolo is kicking ass on bass and doing a great job í¢ä‰åäóì he has been a big help and things couldn’t be better. We had a great night – one of the best shows of the tour so far. It was great to see our friends and family and all the bands sounded especially great. We really appreciate everyone who came out to see the show. We want to thank Vegas from Real Rock 101’s Xtreme Saturday Night for the support & Matt Wagner from The Orlando Metal Awards and bassist extraordinaire from 5 Billion Dead for meeting with us and catching up on what’s been going on with the tour. Be sure to check out Matt W.’s Orlando Metal Awards web site í¢ä‰åäóì there you can check out all of Orlando and Central Florida’s premier metal bands. The video for Like Light To The Flies is completed and we hope to have it out within the next few weeks. We think you’ll enjoy it. We’ve added a few more pictures from the Toronto show to the pictures link and would like to thank the gang at Still Live Pictures for sharing them. We are in Houston, San Antonio & Dallas this week before heading back to the Midwest – we are really looking forward to these shows í¢ä‰åäóì the tour has been a lot of fun so far and there are plenty of shows left. Well, that’s it for now í¢ä‰åäóì we hope to see you at one of the shows. m/ Matt, Corey, Travis & Paolo” In other Trivium news, the band have now about finished writing the material for their debut Roadrunner album and will be heading off to record the music after the Road Rage tour finishes.
