Saw "The Spurs" in the headline and thought I was going to get some hot takes on Victor Wembanyama. Thanks as always for the shout-out. I also found myself more shook up about the p4k news than I would have expected. As for Trivium, as a raised-on-metalcore kid (i.e. was in high school in 04-08) I thought they were super corny at the time, but I've since softened on them. I don't think they get enough credit for doing re-thrash on 'The Crusade' just before that style became super trendy.
My Wemby hot take is that I'm dreading the freak Ralph Sampson injury that robs us of the potential. It just feels inevitable, right? Like we're not allowed to have too much of this good thing.
That tracks, re: Trivium. Also, 1.6m monthly listeners on Spotify! A band I never think about that does bigger numbers than all the bands I write about combined. Metal is weird.

I'm knocking on all the wood in the tri-state area to make sure that this injury does not come to pass.
