Sevendust Detroit reviews
Sevendust great as always, Trivium solid support
Apparently there were 4 acts on this bill, but as I generally don't arrive at venues when the doors open I missed the earlier acts. Regardless, I was there to see Trivium for the first time and Sevendust (for what is probably the 20th). Both were solid performances. The crowd's energy was a bit low at the start of the Trivium set, but gradually grew to match the band's riffs. The band itself were a tad hampered by the drum riser that took up most of the stage, but otherwise their performance was great. Sevendust, despite 20 years of performing, showed no rust during their set. Lead singer Lajon W. appeared emotional at being home in the ATL but the emotion only added to the performance. The only downside to the night, and this is a minor one, was the fact that they played zero songs off of their first, self-titled album.
