Trivium's Matt Heafy Interviewed By Horror Website!

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) Trivium frontman Matt Heafy was recently interviewed by the #1 horror website, Bloody-Disgusting.com. In the course of the conversation, he talked about the album's visual style and how it works in tandem with the music, the recording process, and much more.

Regarding In Waves generally, Heafy said, "it's probably the first time that Trivium has been completely definable in every single aspect, where it's not just an auditory experience anymore but we're taking the visuals in ways that the music videos match the music, match the lyrics, match the packaging, match the way the band looks, and everything is one cohesive package."

He described the at times difficult recording process in detail, too, saying, "The vocal process had me doing about four to six to eight hours per day. We were working on the song 'Of All These Yesterdays' and I probably did the first verse 35 times, left for the day, came back in and they played it back for us and it sounded majorly auto-tuned. I said, 'I'm not down with that,' and they said, 'Honestly, this is as good as we can get it to sound.' So there was a small vocal breakdown meltdown and we deleted everything vocally we'd done up to that point and said, let's do this in two months after the promo trip. We were told by the label that we couldn't do that, that we had to do it immediately. So I spoke with Robb Flynn from Machine Head on the phone for about an hour and he gave me all sorts of tips and tricks and advice on what he does to get prepared for studio vocal work. I took all of that to heart, went into the studio and did some of the best vocals of my life. And they were so good that towards the end, we redid three to five of the songs."
