What's up boys and girls? It's been a pretty long time since you've all heard from me.
I've just been keepin busy. I'll be doing one of those fancy video updates any day now and get you all really filled in on what's-a-happenin'.
Basically the drums are tracked, i've been practicing my ass off, blah blah blah... next are the guitars in about a week.
There are 16 songs in total for the "Crusade" sessions... 12-13 will be on the album itself. It's all very very Trivium to be described in the best way.
Anywho. I'm just letting you all know i'm alive, happy to be recording, and stoked to see what you all think that's going on.
Hopefully you all read the trivium myspace announcment, but this is the only REAL form of talking with ME. There were lotsa silly fake myspace profiles surfacing from what im hearing... so you're hearin it from the horses mouth- this is it, the only way you're really hearing from me. Anything else, smack them... it's fake.
You all fuckin rock... we're planning out a sounds and festival set... so please COMMENT with your ideas of the perfect 30-35 minute TRIVIUM summer setlist.
I love you all
We'll never stop rockin out for those ready to rock,
Matt
