Earlier in the week, when we posted a full Hatebreed set from 2006’s Download Festival, we promised there would be more to come. In an effort to not disappoint, here’s the complete Download set from Trivium.
What’s pretty wild is that, in the UK, Trivium are one of the biggest modern metal bands, and when they play they’re practically treated like their heroes, Metallica. As a result, the band’s killer performance that day reflected the energy and excitement of the crowd, which was filled with tens of thousands of screaming headbangers.
Sadly, the show was recorded before Trivium released their excellent 2006 album The Crusade, so it lacks some of their best material. Even so, it rocks like an epileptic demon. The setlist features: “Rain,” “Like Light to the Flies,” “Drowned and Torn Asunder,” “Suffocating Sight,” “Ashes,” “Ember to Inferno,” “Detonation,” “A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation,” “Dying in your Arms,” “Pull Harder on the Strings of the Martyr.”
Many British journalists called Trivium one of the highlights of the festival. Now you can judge for yourself.

In an effort not to disappoint? Well, since I never had high hopes for MTV I suppose they’re not disappointing my low expectations for their online content.
Woo! All hail the #$%**@ Parade!
F**king Trivium.
