TRIVIUM Plays to a Sold Out Show at Concord Music Hall in Chicago on November 12th, 2017
By Coren McLeod
When anyone seems to question if the metal music scene is
dying, I tend to wonder if that particular person even remotely knows anything
about metal music in general.
The metal music scene is a group of people which lives and
breathes everything hardcore. It's a
community of trust among fans and musicians carrying on the tradition. Bands like Motörhead, Metallica, Lamb of God, Megadeth etc. have paved the way for others
to follow a righteous path to keep throwing the horns and keeping the music
heavy.
On November 12th, 2017, in my favorite city of Chicago, I was
granted access to see the all mighty Trivium live at Concord Music Hall.

Upon entering Concord Music Hall, I felt a sense of
excitement. I felt an energy like no other and I knew this was going to be an
unforgettable night. The crowd was hyped
and ready to mosh at any given moment.
I was again in the photo pit and was being warned I might be
hit by some crowd surfers, by security.
"Hey." It is what I signed up
for. "It comes with the job."
As the audience grew restless, the lights turned dimmed and
a sudden roar came out. TRIVIUM has
taken the stage and everything was right in the world.
I first saw Paolo Francesco Gregoletto with his bass conquer the stage. Than Corey King Beaulieu strum a few guitar strings while Alex Bent started to hit his drums with force.
Matt made his way out to greet his fans with a powerful start to their
"The Sin and the Sentence...."
Hell was upon us and yet I was strangely comfortable with that...
Fans sung along with each verse, chorus, and bridge. Mesmerizing doesn't even describe what
TRIVIUM brings to their performance.
The energy from each band member tops off at a level which literally
brings the roof down.
TRIVIUM had a phenomenal mix of new and old songs as they
perform. Hearing "Strife,"
"Heart From Your Hate," and "Dead and Gone" live should be
on every #metalhead 's bucket list.
TRIVIUM is without a doubt true to its core and keeps the tradition of
metal alive.
Don't question the power of Metal... Unless you're willing to back it up with some
facts. The truth is TRIVIUM is all
metal, all the time. Keep that in
mind...
