Mad About Rock

In the new Stencil Mag (issue 41) I had the pleasure of interviewing the bassist of one of the biggest American modern metal bands around... Paolo Gregoletto of Trivium ! Here is where originally featured in Stencil Mag: https://issuu.com/stencilmag/docs/issue41/114 Interview - Paolo from Trivium: How did you first get into playing bass? I was first playing bass when I was eleven years old and me and group of my friends were having lunch at school one day and decided we wanted to play at this yearly festival at school, so we each pretty much picked an instrument and I picked bass and it suited me, and we played things like ‘Dammit’ by Blink 182 and I played For Whom The Bells Tolls (Metallica)…that was pretty much how it started for me. Can you tell us a bit about when you first joined Trivium, as well as what it was like to be an upcoming band in Orlando, Florida? When I joined Trivium…I’m actually from South Florida so we’re about three hours apart and we get together...

US four piece deliver 'all metal, no bullshit'! Like your metal heavy as?!..then this is a band for you! "A Beautiful Demise" is nice and heavy from the off! Great fierce vocals, with audible shouting is always good! Very clear and effective topped off with good lyrics, bold and strong like their music! Add in some headbang worthy riffs and beats and this track shows pure metal is still alive! "Butterfly Effect" to sum up is fast, and fucking heavy! This is a great heart pounding, headbanging slab of metal! I always admire any metal vocalists that can scream like hell whilst still being meticulous! This band have a solid cuthroat sound that should go down a treat with the metal masses and will make you go mental in the mosh pits! Speaking of mosh pits be sure to check out the band if your fortunate enough to be in the area supporting the very awesome Straight Line Stitch (not for the first time either!) who I'm a massive fan of!..If you haven...
