Heavy metal is generally not seen as a smooth or classy genre. There’s a lot of grunting, screaming and throwing your body into people. Yet when Faith No More stroll onto the stage of the O2 Academy dressed all in white and surrounded by flowers, there is definitely an air of sophistication to proceedings. It’s hard to imagine that just the night before this band was playing in front of the muddy denizens of Download festival. They are far too clean.
Killswitch Engage and Trivium w/ Miss May I and Battlecross at the O2 Academy Glasgow, 4/2/2014
Package tours are becoming more and more common, but few this year are likely to elicit the response that the announcement of Trivium and Killswitch Engage taking to the road together did. These two metal titans have been on redemptive paths in the last few years. Killswitch reuniting with Jesse Leach and remembering how to kick ass (although I was actually a Howard fan) and Trivium slowly rebuilding their damaged reputation and fighting back up to the top of the metal ladder (which they should have been on top of a long time ago.)
