Anyone who thought Trivium wouldn't fill the Cine Joia on a Wednesday, the 14th, was surprised by the line doubling around the corner and past the entrance to the Japão-Liberdade metro station on Avenida Liberdade in São Paulo. The band, touring their latest album In The Court Of The Dragon (2021), opened Metal Week – a series of sideshows at Knotfest Brasil.
Vocalist Matt Heafy proved he's one of the coolest guys in metal. Constantly interacting with the audience, he repeatedly expressed his love for Brazil and how São Paulo has one of the best and biggest crowds they've ever seen. Smiling throughout, he also praised Brazilian food and drink, as well as national metal bands – such as Sepultura , Krisiun , and Angra . All this while occasionally venturing into speaking Portuguese.
With classics like “Down from the Sky”, “Forsake Not The Dream”, “Catastrophist”, “Shogun”, “Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr”, “Strife” and closing with “In Waves”, Trivium easily delivered one of the best shows of the year.
