Struck Dead
GRAMMYr Award-nominated Trivium frontman, vocalist, guitarist, and producer Matt Heafy extends a fascinating presence beyond music. Among rock artists, he remains one of the most-trafficked and consistent Twitch streamers, attracting a following of 119K and counting as of 2020. Renowned for viral covers as well as impeccable video game acumen, he engenders fervent interaction. Simultaneously, he distinguishes himself as a passionate foodie and skilled chef with appearances on Taste of Metal alongside Chef Brian Tsao and numerous cooking videos and food photos regularly posted to his 292K-plus Instagram followers. Outside of Trivium, he has collaborated with everyone from platinum sensation DragonForce to black metal pioneer Isahn and active rock phenomenon Ice Nine Kills. The Japanese-born "Renaissance Man" resides in his native Florida with his wife and two twins. This presence only continues to grow. Trivium released their ninth full-length, What The Dead Men Say, through Roadrunner Records in 2020. The album was produced by Trivium and Josh Wilbur and debuted at #35 on the Billboard Top 200; at #2 on the Top Current Albums Chart, and at #3 on both the Hard Rock Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. The band and album were praised by and featured in mainstream outlets like The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Billboard, TechCrunch, and Kotaku, as well as Guitar World, Revolver, Alternative Press, and more. Trivium released its now-canonical album Ascendancy in 2005. It was recognized as KERRANG!'s "Album of the Year," achieved a gold certification in the UK, and eclipsed sales of 500,000 worldwide. Metal Hammer placed it in the Top 15 of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the 21st Century." It ignited a string of six consecutive Top 25 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and five straight Top 3 debuts on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, culminating on 2017's benchmark The Sin And The Sentence. That album elevated the group's total stream tally past a quarter-of-a-billion. Additionally, "Betrayer" received a GRAMMYr Award nomination in the category of "Best Metal Performance." Unanimous acclaim followed from Decibel, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, MetalSucks, and Metal Hammer who dubbed them, "quite simply one of the best bands in modern metal." Not to mention, they performed alongside Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and many others and graced the main stages of Download, Bloodstock, KNOTFEST, and more. After two decades, eight albums, and hundreds of sold out shows, Trivium actualize the all-encompassing ambition they first set in motion back in 1999.
