Matt Heafy might be the busiest man in metal. The Trivium frontman is cruising through Orlando as he answers our call, making his way to the converted airplane hangar where he and his three bandmates jam, write and plot world domination together.
It’s 10am on a Friday, and so far he’s already exercised (“Monday, Wednesday, Friday is strength and conditioning, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is yoga, jiu-jitsu four to six times a week”), had breakfast with his wife Ashley and twin five-year-olds Mia and Akira, taken the kids to school, and spent an hour playing Trivium songs on livestream for thousands of fans. He’ll now spend the rest of the day laying down ideas for the new Trivium album, before going home for dinner with the fam, reading with the kids and then a brief pause before bedtime.
