Trivium Shines at Bloodstock Festival with Unforgettable Set
A Night to Remember
Last night at the Bloodstock Festival in the UK, Trivium delivered what many are calling “their greatest festival set ever.” According to Rich Hobson from Louder, this performance surpassed even their renowned set at Download Festival, illustrating the band’s remarkable ability to captivate audiences.
A Masterclass in Performance
Hobson described Trivium‘s Bloodstock show as not just a concert but a “masterclass in how to put on a stellar, headline-worthy performance.” He emphasized that the set was a celebration of heavy metal in its entirety, featuring a range of songs that resonated with fans old and new.
Tribute to Heavy Metal Legends
One highlight of the evening was the band’s cover of Black Sabbath‘s “Symptom Of The Universe,” which Matt Heafy dedicated to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. Heafy took a moment to honor the heavy metal icon, acknowledging his profound influence on the genre:
“So, we recently lost a hero of metal. A man without whom’s influence none of this shit would exist. Metal would not sound the fucking same, rock wouldn’t sound the same…”
The crowd erupted in chants of “Ozzy” as Heafy paid tribute, setting the stage for an electrifying performance of the cover.
Special Guest Appearance
In a thrilling moment, Robb Flynn from Machine Head joined Trivium on stage to perform “Symptom Of The Universe.” Heafy introduced Flynn as another vital figure in the metal community, further enhancing the emotional weight of the tribute.
