Trivium‘s cover of Heaven Shall Burn‘s “Implore The Darken Sky” has been given an official digital release. That track originally appeared on the German metalcore outfit’s 2002 album, “Whatever It May Take“. Trivium took to covering it for a split with Heaven Shall Burn that arrived in conjunction with the two band’s ongoing European/UK tour. For their part, Heaven Shall Burn took to covering the early Trivium offering “Pillars Of Serpents“.
Trivium vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy commented:
“In the early days of Trivium, back when we were discovering the many great genres and flavors of heavy music, I knew about the classic greats, I knew about extreme metal, but never before had I heard what HSB was doing. Heaven Shall Burn‘s Whatever It May Take album was my first introduction to their brand of metalcore. This fusion of hardcore ethos and metal sounds blew my mind.”
“‘Implore The Darken Sky‘ is not only my favorite HSB song, but the one that taught me so much about a sound that needed to be injected into Trivium.”
