TRIVIUM Frontman: First U.S. Headlining Tour Was 'Incredible'

November 7, 2006

TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Finally home in Chicago for a little break before we head to Finland this Friday. We have just a little time off before we get back at it.

"Well, I gotta say man, at first we were very nervous about doing our first headlining tour of North America, but holy SHIT was it incredible. We saw anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand motherfuckers rocking out a night. We woulda been happy with a few friends a night, but I guess lotsa people we're feelin like a TRIVIUM show was the right way to spend their nights and it showed and we thank for you for coming out and supporting The Crusade tour.

"The bands we brought out were so killer; great people, great music. We were really fortunate to have THE SWORD, PROTEST THE HERO, SEEMLESS, SANCTITY, and CELLADOR on our Crusade tour. We had a really good time and thanks a million to all the bands and crews for comin out and working so hard to make things click. You all really helped make our first U.S. headline run something special.

"As I said, we leave this Friday for Finland to join the mighty IRON MAIDEN on thier SOLD-OUT world tour for 'A Matter Of Life And Death'. We will hit Scandinavia, mainland Europe and the U.K. IRON MAIDEN are one of the world's best and most influential bands on the whole fucking planet and we know it will be a lot of fun and we are really looking forward to it.

"I'm pretty braindead and beat-up from our last three killer shows in Texas that closed the tour. What a way to end the tour (also from the early morning flight to Chicago),but I'm in great spirits cuz our Crusade tour rocked so hard and thank you all for making it possible. We in the TRIV... camp can't wait to see all you nutty motherfuckers on the next USA/Canada tour, so 'till then LEARN THE FUCKIN WORDS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRSSSS (lotsa ya already do)."

TRIVIUM's "The Crusade" has sold 50,000 copies in the United States since its October 10 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
