Review & Photographs by: Courtney Ludwig

Standing in the photo pit, camera in hand waiting for the show to start, all around me you could hear the soothing yet exciting sounds of the audience chanting, Tri-Vi-Um, Tri-Vi-Um, Tri-Vi-Um.

House lights off, stage lights on the crowd grows wilder and wilder as the band is a go, on a mission and dressed for battle, they were ready to take on the crowd before them. As I move from one side of the stage to the other, capturing the musicians expressions, movements and moments on stage, behind me the crowd has gone crazy as fans are being crowd surfed and moshing to the excitement of the music, so many things going on the scene was intense yet under control.

Trivium was absolutely amazing in both there stage presence and sound, so much team effort, energy and spirit that just draws you in. There musical sound to me was that in the opinion of Sevendust meets Pantera meets Metallica.

It is highly recommended that you take a listen to their music if you are not able to see them in concert. Trivium is currently out on tour in support of their latest album, “In Waves” on Roadrunner Records.
