Trivium At Baltimore Soundstage 10-31-2017

Written By: Rob Wallace

Trivium and Arch Enemy came to Baltimore Soundstage on Halloween and delivered a powerful show that did not disappoint. The impressive lineup started with Fit for an Autopsy taking the stage – dressed for the holiday – with lead singer Joe Badolato dressed as Batman. They kicked it off setting the foundation for what turned out to be an unbelievably high energy show filled with phenomenal guitarists and metal vocals that hit the Halloween mood on the head.
 
While She Sleeps from Sheffield, England took the stage second and skyrocketed the tempo of the show to a whole other level. Between bassist Aaran McKenzie and vocalist Lawrence Taylor’s frequent visits to the crowd, the band was using the stage and swinging speakers to give the fans everything they could want from a live performance.
 
While She Sleeps put on a show like no other and set the bar for Arch Enemy to do what they do best. Arch Enemy brought some of their best past work, as well as their material from the new album, Will to Power, which shows a new side of Arch Enemy and brings melodic clean vocals for the first time in the band’s discography. Arch Enemy proved that they can still develop further as musicians even though they are incredibly talented and are producing some of their best content yet. The set provided material that longtime fans love, and they are still able to reach a wider audience as they develop their sound further.
 
Trivium wrapped the night to a packed venue as costumed crowd surfers battered the barricade and ecstatic fans belted out the lyrics to their favorite tracks. If you can catch this tour, it is definitely one you do not want to miss!
