When TRIVIUM announced they would end their euro tour with an intimate show in London at the 250 capacity Borderline, tickets sold out in a day. It’s been a few years since the guys had played such an intimate show and any Trivium fan who could get there was dying to get in- and those who did were not disapointed!

The show, a relaxed yet BLISTERING set was interspersed with light hearted banter and cover versions, and the vibe was so good that the band opened the invite to the ‘industry’ party post show to the whole crowd, and led the festivites with a metal karaoke session, with Trivium as the house band and media and the audience providing some back up on vocals and instruments. Kudos goes to the guys at METAL HAMMERA, SCUZZ TV and FHM amongst others, who got up on stage and kicked some serious ass!!!

Check out an update from Corey (guitars) below and some killer footage of the show, which includes a lil surpise for a certain lady in the crowd too…

The band entered the studio with producer ANDY SNEAP last week, and the band are making regular updates on their official MySpace (which can be found HERE).

Writes Shawn:

So I arrived on Wednesday, right on the heels of Mr. Sneap (He arrived from the UK on Tuesday) and with each passing day, we seem to get more done than the last, I am happy to say. This morning Dave, myself and Andy finished another tune, and as I write this, I am almost finished recording the song that I have written – Dave had to step out for a few hours, so he will most likely hear it on Monday morning. No idea at all if it will or will not make the record, so we will have to see about that one Andy and I both dig it, so there you go.
It has been a good creative week – The pieces to the musical puzzle are slowly being put together, and I like what I am hearing. I hope you wil as well.

MACHINE HEAD have been forced to cancel their remaining two performances on the Slipknot tour in Antwerp and Luxemburg, in the wake of guitarist Phil Demmel collapsing onstage during Machine Head’s second-to-last song Friday night in Sheffield, England.

Says bassist Adam Duce, “After considering the seriousness of Phil’s health condition, we all feel that skipping these last two shows is the best thing to do. It’s a bummer to end this tour like this after doing 9 amazing weeks and 3 continents with Slipknot, but getting Phil back to the States to get checked out is the most important thing right now. Our sincerest thanks to Slipknot and Children of Bodom for their support and understanding, we understand that it’s a big disappointment to the fans, and Phil is very sorry about it, but we all feel that his health and safety is most important at this time.”

Machine Head plan to resume touring Wednesday in Los Angeles for the first of two Metallica shows at The Forum.
