我的情人节子弹和 Trivium：中毒的优势采访 2023

当 Bullet For My Valentine 和 Trivium 于 2005 年发行突破性专辑《The Poison》和《Ascendency》时，他们为金属音乐的未来奠定了基础。

When Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium released their breakthrough albums The Poison and Ascendency in 2005, they were laying the foundation for the future of metal. Both bands were young, hungry and had cocksure, passionate frontmen – in Matt Tuck and Matt Heafy respectively – that ensured they became poster-boys for the next generation.

当 Bullet For My Valentine 和 Trivium 于 2005 年发行突破性专辑《The Poison》和《Ascendency》时，他们为金属音乐的未来奠定了基础。这两支乐队都很年轻、充满渴望，并且都有自信、热情的主唱——分别是马特·塔克(Matt Tuck)和马特·希菲(Matt Heafy)——这确保了他们成为下一代的海报男孩。

In the 20 years since, they’ve ridden highs and endured lows. But with a massive co-headline UK tour in January, which will see them play some of the biggest venues of their lives, they’re still proudly waving the flag for metal. We brought The Two Matts together to take questions from some of their biggest fans.

此后的 20 年里，他们经历过高峰，也经历过低谷。但随着一月份大规模的英国联合巡演，他们将在他们一生中最大的一些场地演出，他们仍然自豪地挥舞着金属旗帜。我们将两个马特聚集在一起，回答他们的一些忠实粉丝的问题。

What are your favourite songs to play (that aren’t from your own bands)?

Tuck: “We haven’t done covers for a long time. I’d have to go back to when we were young boys, but for me it was always Metallica. There’s something about the simplicity of some of their riffs that makes them so fun to play, especially when you’re 14 years old and realise you can play some of it!”

塔克：“我们已经很长时间没有做封面了。我不得不回到我们还是小男孩的时候，但对我来说，总是金属乐队。他们的一些连复段的简单性使得它们玩起来非常有趣，尤其是当你 14 岁时，意识到你可以演奏其中的一些！”

Heafy: “On Twitch, people are always like, ‘Matt, can you play this song by this band?’ and it’s like… I don’t know any other songs by any other bands now. We’ve got 10 albums to learn, man! The only two I’ve got sort-of memorised are Master Of Puppets, where I might forget the odd word in a verse or whatever, and Slave New World by Sepultura. But I do love doing some acoustic songs from The Witcher – Burn Butcher Burn and Toss A Coin To Your Witcher are always great fun. I’ve been playing Peaches from The Super Mario Bros. Movie because it’s so ridiculous doing the dumb high notes Jack Black hits.”

Heafy：“在 Twitch 上，人们总是说，‘马特，你能演奏这个乐队的这首歌吗？’就像……我现在不知道其他乐队的任何其他歌曲。我们有 10 张专辑要学，伙计！我唯一能记住的两个是《木偶大师》（Master Of Puppets），我可能会忘记诗句或其他什么中的奇怪单词，以及 Sepultura 的《奴隶新世界》（Slave New World）。但我确实很喜欢《巫师》中的一些原声歌曲——《Burn Butcher Burn》和《Toss A Coin To Your Witcher》总是很有趣。我一直在演奏《超级马里奥兄弟》电影中的“Peaches”，因为杰克·布莱克（Jack Black）的那些愚蠢的高音实在是太可笑了。”

Heafy: “Ascendancy’s Departure was one of the toughest songs I’ve written. It deals with the intense depression that I’ve dealt with most of my life. As I’ve grown into adulthood, I’ve become more aware of what makes me tick and got some of these things figured out in terms of why my brain reacts in certain ways due to anxiety, OCD, ADHD… All those things that can couple up and lead to depression. Departure was me finding encouragement to tackle those things head-on, and thoughts of suicide and not wanting to exist on this planet anymore. It’s been intense going back to some of those songs, realising I’m still dealing with them, just in a different way.”

Heafy：“Ascendancy's Departure 是我写过的最难的歌曲之一。它解决了我一生中大部分时间都在面对的严重抑郁症。随着我长大成人，我越来越意识到是什么让我兴奋，并弄清楚了为什么我的大脑会因焦虑、强迫症、注意力缺陷多动症而以某些方式做出反应……所有这些事情都可以耦合并导致抑郁。出发时，我得到了正面解决这些问题的鼓励，并产生了自杀的念头，不想再存在于这个星球上。回想起其中一些歌曲是很强烈的，我意识到我仍在处理它们，只是以不同的方式。”

Tuck: “For me, it’s the entirety of [sixth album] Gravity. That’s the only moment in my life I’ve really struggled with mental health issues. That entire record was a battle – a battle to put out, a battle to please the fans, because I always knew it’d be divisive. But once I decided to let myself fully invest in that side of me and not give a fuck, it was a liberating experience and was a big part of my recovery.”

塔克：“对我来说，这是[第六张专辑]《重力》的全部。那是我一生中唯一一次真正与心理健康问题作斗争的时刻。整张唱片就是一场战斗——一场要推出的战斗，一场取悦粉丝的战斗，因为我一直知道这会引起分歧。但一旦我决定让自己完全投入到自己的这一面而不在乎，这就是一次解放的经历，也是我康复的重要组成部分。”

Heafy: “Bullet and Trivium! Nah, it’s hard to say who the next Metallica is. But if you’re talking the bands who are the successors to what’s come before, and keeping the flag flying high on what metal is, and what modern metal can be, the bands encouraging kids to pick up guitars and create new styles, that is Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium. That’s why this tour is happening.”

Heafy：“Bullet 和 Trivium！不，很难说谁是下一个 Metallica。但如果你谈论的是前辈乐队的继承者，并且高举什么是金属、什么是现代金属的旗帜，那么这些乐队鼓励孩子们拿起吉他并创造新的风格，那就是《我的情人节的子弹》和《Trivium》。这就是这次巡演发生的原因。”

Has Matt Tuck ever thought about using a seven-string guitar like Trivium have?

Tuck: “I’ve got one! I’ve been learning it. The first single for our next campaign, which may or may not be in January, will have the seven-string on.”

塔克：“我有一个！我一直在学习它。我们下一次活动的第一首单曲，可能会在一月份，也可能不会，将会有七弦。”

Heafy: “You’ve gotta try the nine- string now! That thing is silly. I don’t think it’d fit Trivium or Bullet but it’s so much fun to play.”

Heafy：“你现在必须尝试九弦！那件事很愚蠢。我认为它不适合 Trivium 或 Bullet，但玩起来非常有趣。”

If someone set up an all-star project like Roadrunner United now, and said you could write a song for anyone, who would you pick?

如果现在有人设立了像Roadrunner United这样的全明星项目，并说你可以为任何人写一首歌，你会选谁？

Heafy: “Hans Zimmer. He’s my hero, compositionally and musically, so I’d love to write a song for him.”

海菲：“汉斯·齐默。他是我的英雄，无论是作曲还是音乐，所以我很乐意为他写一首歌。”

Tuck: “I’d love to do a crossover Bullet/ Sleep Token track. I reckon that’d be really interesting. Bring a bit of the Bullet intensity into some of the magic that band have. If they do want to do something, by the way, I’m here.”

Tuck：“我很想做一首 Bullet/Sleep Token 的交叉曲目。我认为那会非常有趣。将一点子弹强度带入乐队的一些魔力中。顺便说一句，如果他们确实想做点什么，我就在这里。”
