Matt is great, cause most people give you about 50% of the answer you’re looking for in an interview question. Matt gives you 150%.

Cool! A "How I Learned How to Scream" interview via satellite that isn't filmed on a potato!

One of the best reasons why Trivium is my favorite band is because of a mix of good melodic singing and screaming that isn't too overwhelming and still clear with the heavy music.

Jheez Matt didn't even know how to do vocals and was in a band at 13. Here i am at 20 years old and I haven't even met another person who likes metal.

every time i hear matts story i think to myself, how the hell could he do improper screaming for ~15 years and not absolutely destroy his voice, while i shred my throat laughing a bit too loud in front of my pc

"Cupping the mic" *Glenn Fricker has entered the chat room*

Matt's ears allow him to hear what the Rock is cooking.

All the bands he is naming is who I grew up with, with how legendary Trivium is I keep forgetting Matt is my age... guess i'm not a kid anymore!

Matt is such an articulate person. Dude seems super intelligent and just an all around cool dude.

So much respect for Matt. Insanely talented, hard working dude

Trivium was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen and heard. They sounded like I was jamming them in my truck 🤘🏼

Matt is truly one of the greatest! Definitely inspired me to be a frontman myself! Thank you Matt for all you do, sir!

We need Matt to break down how he screams for people. So many misleading tutorials on KZfaq, I would love to see how he does it

Him: "Matt Sanders from Avenged" Me, a lifelong a7x fan: "SANDERS!?!?"

clicked faster than my brain could even process

It's me or listening this man talk is like watching satisfying videos? Really love how he explain every single thing so meticulously almost with no interruption..... Love this guy so bad

This dude needs his own podcast, his voice suits it.

Finally a vocalist acknowledges the live version of their scream lol

How I learned to scream: I had a kid.

Matt Heafy is a talented vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and has a speaking voice fit for audiobooks. Seems like a cool dude too.

I just recently got into a bit of Trivium, this guy seems like a real chill dude. That's pretty much all I wanted to say.

As a brazilian im really proud that matt mentioned krisium!!!

I really like this guy. I respect his routine and practicality

Heafy is one of the coolest and nicest person around the rock and metal world!

I learned how to scream and growl at 14 years old, I had to learn just by myself, sure ill probably never be a Rockstar, but being able to scream along at concerts and screaming while you drive is fantastic, I first used asking alexandria as a reference to start, no im screaming along to heaven shall burn and trivium. Btw your vocals are definitely a difficult technique to mimic

this how i screamed when i saw the notification

I love these videos this is great, so many people with no experience make videos but these guys have lived it for years, so awesome. So valuable

How I Learned to Stream

Thank you for this! I really enjoyed this video!

can we got a how Sam Carter learned to scream

great video, especially for people that are learning to scream, my old singer in my old band really hurt his voice back in the early 2000s, this is a great preventative measure to direct viewers in the rite direction in to prevent damage and be on the right track on what to do from a reputable screamer, thank you for this video, i wish this type of video was around many many years ago - kevin

Matt always seems so down to earth. Very professional, to the point, and open to sharing his ups and downs.

I started just messing around as a kid and regularly hurt my voice by doing things wrong so i totally get the story of how he had to break everything down and redo it all over again from scratch.

Matt you can sing dude. You have a amazing voice. Your screaming makes trivium first of all. I even got my mother to listen to you guys. And she also says you have a amazing voice singing or screaming. Love all the hard work you put in your music. From south africa

This is very informative, especially the part about using different technques for studio and live. And doing it everyday, I totally understand why he does both. And why it's super important.

Such a cool down to earth guy. Really like the way he talks. Also his tattoos are really cool and look awesome

Love that you said Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn, love those guys! Especially HSB, one of my faves that I feel no one talks about

Matt your voice sounds is amazing the singing and screaming you have got it to a T 🤟🏻🤟🏻

what a great video, and what a great singer!

I love how Matt's voice sounds so awesome I wish he could be as my new friend

absolutely lovely video

we need one for corey taylor and one for james hetfield.. even though het doesnt necessarily scream he does have a very special singing style

Man I saw Trivium live at Soma SD back in 2005 was awesome i will never forget that show.

Super helpful video. Thanks guys!

Great video. Matt Heafy is great too, don't think I've ever encountered somebody who said they don't like him. Such a down to earth guy, even if he wasn't in a band you'd want to be his friend.

Really informative. Thank you!

I could literally listen to Matt talk all day about this.

Man, I remember the first time I saw Trivium opened at the Venture Theatre in CA. I never really followed them. He is right. I watched a lot of videos on how to scream and technique is curial.

The amount of credit he gives everyone is always equal and awesome not many people do that

Man matt i love these dude is badass awesome lead singer and trivium being a badass band

Love this man 🤘

I remember trying to even remotely mimick what Chester Bennington did on THAT scream on Given Up in my very early teens. After that, I could taste the blood in my throat, but turns out after that I eventually eased into my current technique, which can go from deathcore lows all the way to highs

Trivium is Awsome!! Very talented Indeed. 🤘🤘🎸

Interesting. Matt is awesome, it's nice to hear that even the pros need to adapt and constantly learn.

Really awesome vocalist, and a favourite of mine for years. Keep being awesome Matt! If you guys have watched him stream live on Twitch, he does an absolutely fantastic job for a non studio recording or stage environment and without even warming up most of the time. An absolute legend and it'd be great having him do music for Metal Heads one day and perhaps even some 3-2-1-GO count-downs etc just for fun :)

I nearly came when I got the chance to see in flames play year. Been listening to them since my cousin showed me clayman back when it came out in 2000/2001 ish. One of the best concerts I've been to, with breaking Benjamin and chevelle (when wonder whats next released) taking the cake. Chevelle is one of my absolute favorite bands, a d was really my introduction to much lower-tuned songs. The early 2000s really opened my world musically, considering most of the music I listened to previously had been either classical or classic rock (Beatles, Elvis, moody blues etc.)

1:10 - Same, In Flames was the first metal band I ever heard growing up, and Anders was the first vocalist I ever heard scream or yell.

Crazy I went to all the grade schools with someone that made it. Good shit Matt.

DUDE!!!! I am relating so much to everything in this video.... this is fucking amazing!!! I am such a huge Trivium fan, and A7X is my favorite band, and so glad M. Shadows reached out to you to help you man. You guys are both amazing..... I battle this kind of shit with my voice all the time... allergies.... sinuses.... mucus.... and TIME OF DAY DOES MATTER...... it's fucking nuts how much real ass, and transparent shit you just said!! The fact that you talked about your "safe" scream, and then your studio take scream... like, so much of that is stuff we all deal with man. SO FUCKING GLAD THAT YOU ARE STILL GETTING IT BRO!!!! ROCK THE FUCK ON!!!!!

This is very cool. Man, whatever it comes to your life, don't let it get to you. Just keep doing what you love to do even if you can't scream anymore. The music is your life, right 😉👍

Matt has the power, thats for sure! What a cool dude !

All the bands he mentions are bands that ive been into since was a teenager. Its no wonder im such a huge Trivium fan too

I love this dude!

thank you for those bands! heaven shall burn is awesome!

Literally how I feel. Used to play rugby but I am injured now. So practicing guitar, screaming and singing is all I do

I saw these guys on accident one weekend just taking my cousin to random shows I would go to every weekend in Dallas. They were touring pull harder on the strings of your martyr , great time to be a teenager.

How i learned to scream was just like randy from lamb of god. I started messing and screaming. Then i kept on doing it. My friends say i sound good like a cross from chris motionless and randy blythe

man I grew up listening to the same bands he did but I didn't vibe with them then when I got into middle school I started listening to heavier new stuff like SOAD 3 Days Grace (only Riot) Rammstein, and so on but it wasn't til 8-9th grade that I got introduced to Bullet For My Valentine, and Trivium I played them on repeat, then one day my friend introduced me to As Blood Runs Black and Job For A Cowboy, he was so excited when he bust in my class room saying "dude you gota hear this, the double bass petal sounds like a freakin hum" when I heard that my heart actually fluttered, it was just like a movie and I knew I was a metal head

Matts duration and dedication is incredible

Answer: By stepping on a lego...

Definitely we need one for Tatiana Shmaylyuk. Women want to know how to scream too

First from India. Committeed fan since when I was 9 YO.

Comentario salvaje en Castellano/Español aparece! Que genial la técnica nueva de Matt me encanta y prolonga su carrera como cantante porque está ni es tan perjudicial como la que usaba antes. Y la técnica del grito del demonio dónde esta 🤔 Gracias Matt y Loudwire!

"Great interview! Thanks for the mention! Matt talks about so many interesting issues that most singers are not aware of, but he has had to live them to understand the importance of training. Good job, man! Just to make things more clear: This "screaming" aspect, well, to be frank, it should not be called like that. It's a ...technique... and every singer or human body that practices this technique correctly and consistently can learn how to do that. It has been the same technique used by almost every major star on the planet. As Matt mentioned in the video, one can really hurt himself if it's done incorrectly. This is why it's important to train your voice with healthy guidance and not just following scales concerning the sound of the notes alone, especially if you think about a professional career. " "You can check by yourself how Matt practices as there is a masterclass recording he took with Ron Anderson and Dr.Pipe Perez (vocal coaches to the stars) where you can learn the approach on how to use every muscle in your body to support your sound and your scream healthily. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsVlq6h4q73UiqM.html

Homie’s discipline is an inspiration

Thank you Matt very cool

1:47 this is crazy, I JUST watched that caliban set from 2000 earlier today. This is from back when they were a hardcore band like Morning Again or something

His song Pillars of Serpents (2017 version) taught me how to scream 🖤

Mindscar great band Ritchie Brown is super talented! I used to be in a band called Double Veteran (central FL area 1999-2003) and saw Ritchie when he was 14 years old I said " that kids going places! *"

Nice! I'd tried for a while, on my own and then heard a commercial on Fuse, or maybe MTV. The guy doing the commercial ( I think it was Devin Townsend ) was announcing that Ozzy would be hosting a certain music awards ceremony and went on to say, " and now, I present you ( switches to scream ) THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS ". I repeated it, immediately and it just clicked. It blew my mind at how much easier it was than I'd been thinking.

Great to see Matt getting more and more recognition! He bursts his ass unlike many lazy musicians and he fully deserves it!

Doing different techniques for different situations is amazing...still doing the old scream for records though

Your journey through music discovery is identical to mine. And also my daughter has been listening to metal since she was born. She headbangs and throws the devil horns.

What’s crazy is Matt’s story’s is almost exactly like mine band wise. I actually started doing death metal vocals first, covering cannibal corpse, deicide, death and a few others. I shifted over to the more traditional metal vocals at the age of 17. Big influences were Slipknot, trivium, killswitch engage and fear factory. I wanted to be Corey and Burton so damn bad lol. But drugs got ahold of me at a young age and I quit music at 18. Still got it in me though!

0:54 Olive Oiiiil !!!

Thank you my friend😊🤘❤

So I had issues with my vocals as a kid. I was self-taught and took huge influence from Trivium, however after a session in studio I blew my voice out and then I continued to practice, never warmed up, did shows and then went back to studio and blew my voice out horrendously. I only learned last year, 10 years after damaging myself, that I have perfect vocal folds and no damage present - it turns out I have another issue entirely. Now I use my voice for my work and although I want nothing more than to learn how to do metal vocals again it's a massive risk to my health and work. My point is that what Matt says here about studio vs "safe" vocals should be taken with a pinch of salt for those learning how to do vocals. Do not ever seek to blow your voice out or push yourself too far for the sake of it - don't take the risks that others do when you do not share their biology. After 10 years of issues, I can safely say that although I was very good for my age at the time, taking stupid risks and missing out on the educational aspects of modern metal vocals has been to my detriment.

I like this dude a lot.

YES IN FLAMES!!!!

This will be very interesting

This dude approaches music like a disciplined martial arts student. There is no other way he just said what you have to do to be good. Discipline 💯

I’ve waited for this video since 2003

AWESOME MAN! I'M A BIG FAN OF METALLICA!! greetings from Croatia 🤘🇭🇷👍

Yes, excellent. 🤘🏻

Thanks!!!

Matt's work ethics. Damn.

I was going to see Trivium in Memphis, but 2014 was not my year to see them 😂 Battlecross, Nothing More and KSE killed it, though, and I got to mosh with a guy in a wheelchair. Glad that Matt was able to recover, though!

Foda! Metal brasileiro influenciando por aí!

how matt tuck learned to scream is a good idea,i love bullet for my valentine that's why i want to see him at loudwire

Every single time that I hear the word "discipline" I immediately think of Matt Heafy.
