Trivium - Download Festival 2012 (9/10)

Absolutely lethal, are the two words to describe this band live. They played brand new songs (such as In Waves) along with the old classics  (like Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr) and challenged the crowd to make more than 6 circle pits at once. Though I personally don't think Matt's screamo is very good live he is still a kick-ass performer. They took full advantage of the stage around the snake pit, making sure to be there whilst shredding, and those in the snake pit were extremely privileged to be so close to these rock stars. I'll be sure to see them when they come back with As I Lay Dying, Caliban and Upon A Burning Body in October!
