TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy is featured in a new interview with Amy Harris as part of a Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival preview. An excerpt is available below:

Q: You have been together for 12 years basically. Where do you see yourselves in ten more years?

Matt: "What’s so great about us starting out so young is something our label, our booking agents, and our management always talk about is us starting so young is that even ten years from now we’ll be the average age of the bands that are out right now. So we always have so much time to do anything and everything. So it’s onward and upward really. There are no performances anymore, they are all like mini movies. I have this whole grand scale idea of where I would like to go with our videos, and our live performances, and our live setups. Those type of things aren’t really possible for a band our size. We aren’t a big band by any means. We are a medium to small size band. If you are big enough that you can put the revenue you generate back into the band, back into the art, back into the show, and back into the videos, that’s when you can do things like RAMMSTEIN and LADY GAGA do who are heroes of mine when it comes down to bands who are musically and visually creative, that do something different from what everyone else does. When you see what those two bands, what Gaga and what Rammstein do live, it is completely different than what any other band does, what any other band would think to do. And so I have my own ideas of where I would like to see our stuff go."
