Trivium will present two livestream shows over two weekends in December 2021. Both events will take place from the band’s new HQ, known as “The Hangar,” in Orlando, Florida.
This is the official streaming follow-up to 2020’s “A Light or a Distant Mirror” streamed event. While the band did conduct several free streaming events after the fact, this is the official follow-up.
The shows will serve as the official debut of The Hangar, coinciding with the release of a new Hangar website portal, which is where the events will be broadcast from. This will be the online home of The Hangar and the nerve center of future Trivium events, merch drops and other public activities from the space.
It also will be the 10-year celebration of the release of the band’s critically acclaimed album “In Waves.”
Ultimately, the streaming events are a summary of everything Trivium is and everything it has become over the past few years. The band has reached a creative summit with its three most recent albums (2017’s “The Sin and The Sentence,” 2020’s “What the Dead Men Say” and this year’s “In The Court of the Dragon”) and remain ahead of the curve, as the band members were early adopters of the Twitch platform and have built The Hangar as their own house for content creation.
THE HANGAR | IN WAVES takes place on Saturday, Dec. 11, with Fit for an Autopsy as the pre-show.
THE HANGAR | DEADMEN & DRAGONS is set for Saturday, Dec. 18, also with Fit for an Autopsy as the pre-show.
“‘In Waves’ is hailed as one of the greatest Trivium albums of all time,” vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy said. “While Trivium has the greatest supporters on earth, the Shogunate is also incredibly passionate on their decision of the best classic record. The fanbase always seems to be resoundingly split on three albums when it comes to speaking of ‘the best’: ‘Ascendancy,’ ‘Shogun’ and ‘In Waves.'”
He continued: “‘In Waves’ is an album where Trivium embarked on a journey to a new world of sounds, textures, feelings and visuals. ‘In Waves’ was the moment where Trivium finally, truly realized everything of its visuals. The ‘In Waves’ album changed the course of history for Trivium, and its influence and impact is vastly apparent in the current modern metal scene.”
“‘Deadmen & Dragons’ is the celebration of the last two years—two albums, The Hangar, the Metal Tour of the Year and, of course, ‘A Light or a Distant Mirror,'” bassist Paolo Gregoletto said. “The moment we knew that touring was off the table in 2020, we shifted focus back to the creative process. This stream is the closing of this unexpected chapter of Trivium and the beginning of a new one full of many exciting possibilities with The Hangar.”
