New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) Trivium and Killswitch Engage just did a short run of UK shows together, and when they played Glasgow, Killswitch vocalist Jesse Leach and Trivium bassist Paolo Gregoletto sat down for a joint interview , during which they had lots of praise for each other's work.
Says Paolo, "When I got Alive Or Just Breathing it was a revolutionary album that changed the course of metal. Before that album, every metal band I was listening to were older, so when the first group of bands started coming out like Killswitch and Lamb of God it just signaled the change. I got to know them touring on Ozzfest '05 and we've done so many tours together. They're great guys and excellent musicians, people we share a bond with. We're different enough so that when we play together that you're not going to get the same show but similar enough that we fit well together."
Says Jesse, " Trivium are great - they're professionals, very easy going, nice guys. We all get along really well so it's easy. We've toured with them a couple of times before and I've known Matt, the lead singer, since he was a kid. We had same manager back then, when I was in a rock and roll band [Seemless] and we've become fast friends since then."
They also discuss making their most recent records— Killswitch Engage 's Disarm the Descent and Trivium 's Vengeance Falls - what they like about Scotland, and much more. Read the whole thing here: https://bit.ly/1fx0PX4
