We had a minute or two with Trivium's Matt Heafy and we asked him about his year and what his favourite 2017 albums are because, as we said the other day, that’s what you do around Christmas time when you work at a music magazine. It's the law.
It turns out Matt's pretty stoked on life right now. "This year was the year all the Trivium fans finally had an album they all agreed on!" he told us. "Our career has been filled with countless fans all claiming different favourite albums of our discography - and while this is an incredible thing we all encourage and love - to see our diverse fans all unifying over The Sin and the Sentence has been a wonderful thing."
He was psyched on new music in 2017 too: "I tried to make a top ten albums list; I ended up with a top 50. That says a ton about this year for music. Across all genres, and especially heavy music, life is good."
We got him to snip down his top 50 to a top 10 because we know you're busy people. Check out what he said about each release in the gallery above and subscribe to the playlist below!
