Editors Note .
For me , and I ’ m sure many others , TRIVIUM were one of the first bands that really hooked our excitement and helped catapult our love for heavy music into the stratosphere . As I started my musical journey , TRIVIUM were really one of the first bands to really show to me as a teenager just how infectious and interesting this style of music is . The UK has always been kind to TRIVIUM and now , all these years later , the band are still at the forefront of heavy music . They grace the cover of this month ’ s Distorted Sound as the band are set to enter the next chapter of theircareer and we we unearth the first details about what is coming next from one of modern metal ’ s greats !
Whilst TRIVIUM burst onto the scene in the early part of this century , the bands breaking through now which hope to emulate TRIVIUM ’ s success are making their first steps into our world . From SHVPES ’ wide and expansive soundscape , ONCE HUMAN ’ s evolving sound , THE RAVEN AGE ’ s rising momentum and HOMETRUTH ’ s poignant lyrical topics , we have enough new blood for you to get stuck into . Alongside the new blood , we have enough of the established to keep you hooked ! We reflect on ANTHRAX ’ s influential Among The Living with Charlie Benante , we cast an eye to the resurging EX DEOand see why FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY are still in the eye of the storm of deathcore . That , and all the usual great album review and live coverage . So get stuck into this jam-packed issue of Distorted Sound !
