TRIVIUM are currently ripping the UK another arsehole on their SOLD-OUT UK tour. If your curious to what these riff-monsters get up to on tour, check out there latest video for “Dying In Your Arms” at Kerrang.com. CLICK HERE to watch the video.

Having recently arrived in the UK TRIVIUM set-up yesterday at BRADFORD RIO’S for some last minute rehearsing before their UK tour. However, all did not go as planned as Matt explains in the following email: “So, We were rehearsing at Bradford Rio and the next thing we knew the doors opened and a few hundred kids were there outside listening and soon close enough to watch us rehearse, this was supposed to be a rehearsal, pre-production day. I explained to the people that gathered that we just got to the UK and we gotta rehearse so we are sorry to be boring and we continued to rehearse more, we then decided we would have some fun and then called kids up to sing and jam with us a bit we did some Metallica, Maiden, Trivium songs and more, it was fun and everyone seemed to enjoy it, I know we did! It was incredible!! Afterward we hung out for about an hour and a half and chilled.” Those crazy kids! REMEMBER: Trivium – Ascendancy (special edition) is out now!

This Saturdays BBC ROCK SHOW will see metal legend Bruce Dickinson running a comp for a pair of tickets to one of the SOLD-OUT Trivium shows.

Oh and did I mention Bruce will be cranking out some Trivium and announcing when the band will be going on the show? So don’t forget, this Saturday, Radio 6 9pm – 12am.

Not content with their brief visit in January, hardcore bruisers MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD will return to dish out another battering in June. Victory Records’ Ringworm are confirmed as main support. Damnation AD will be opening each night. Get in the pit at: JUNE 19 í¢ä‰åäóì Newport TJs (tickets 퉌£9) 20 í¢ä‰åäóì Sheffield Corporation (tickets 퉌£9) 21 í¢ä‰åäóì Manchester Phoenix (tickets 퉌£10) 22 í¢ä‰åäóì London Underworld (tickets 퉌£10) Tickets are on sale now from the venues and usual box offices. Don’t miss ’em í¢ä‰åäóì a Kerrang! maximum 5K review of their last London show reads: í¢ä‰åñSimply. Fucking. Incredible. Detonating like an aural nailbomb, Most Precious Blood are on utterly devastating form tonight. From the opening roar of ‘Shark Ethic’ onwards, every beat, note and scream is unleashed with the utmost malicious intent, their anger so palpable that they make most bands seem mildly annoyed at best. Somehow, they seem to be even faster than on record, every word torn from the throat of vocalist Rob Fusco drenched with raw, lacerating fury. Only the crowd directly before the stage fling themselves around with anything like the abandon displayed by the band but the adrenalin infusing the room is overwhelming. While this is undoubtedly hardcore at its most fierce, MPB don’t get bogged down in the kind of tough-guy posturing that beleaguers so many bands within the genre í¢ä‰åäóì their music is imbued with a real depth and humanity and the band come across as accessible despite the ferocity of their performance. For 45 all-too-short minutes, nothing else in the world matters and as the closing chords of ‘The Great Red Shift’ erupt and Fusco disappears beneath the bodies piling atop him, his final cry of í¢ä‰åñBest show ever!í¢ä‰åŒ is the perfect full stop. Sometimes five K’s just ain’t enough.í¢ä‰åŒ í¢ä‰åäóì KKKKK í¢ä‰åäóì Dan Slessor
