What are you going to start trying to incorporate into your day that I do? Lmk!

Matt is like a Samurai living in present times. So much discipline here.

So disciplined and professional. What a cool guy.

Trivium, Bullet for my Valentine, and Avenged Sevenfold have given us multiple lifetimes of incredible work. I appreciate everything you guys have ever done for us as fans!

you are an inspiration to me. ill never forget what you said to me when we met. it was louder than life fest 2015, yall where doing a signing for fyi. I was telling you about what your music meant to me and that it inspires me to keep writing my own and maybe one day play a show with trivium. and you said '' that's awesome man! keep it up and cant wait to hear you one day!" ill never forget it. so thank you for giving me a voice when I felt like I've never had one

So disciplined! I can't imagine how hard it is being away from your family so this is brilliant for your mental health. Thanks for sharing! We really enjoyed meeting you and the show in Cambridge - especially as we got to celebrate our wedding anniversary with you guys!

its crazy how "being lazy" needs to be taught for some people

“Only the disciplined ones are free in life. If you aren't disciplined, you are a slave to your moods. You are a slave to your passions." Eluid Kipchoge. The world's greatest marathoner. Matt, you are free my man.

You sir, are a very inspiring person.

Your discipline is so inspiring Matt! You are my guitar hero

I was 14 when ascendancy came out, and you were my number one inspiration for being the guitar player that I am today. Today, being 33, I continue to look up to you in different ways. Thanks for this content, and thanks for being a good person and inspiration to us all.

Matt is genuinely one of the most interesting people in Metal right now in my opinion

very inspiring Matt. Im at a low point right now and seeing how you treat your body and mind is very helpful. I am currently trying to do the small things to feel better, the things i can control. And accept the things i cannot. Like my back injury. Thanks

Eat Riffs Eat Exercise Eat riffs

I'm pretty sure you are an inspiration to a lot of people (including me). Thank you for sharing Matt!

6:34 This is where Meshuggah took inspiration for the Bleed cover 😊

That was very nice, thank you.

Modern legend 🎸🎤🔥🤘🏽

Thank you for sharing this. I have been lucky enough to see Trivium twice this year, Hammersmith and Norwich, UK. You all brought 110% every time. Interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes for your body, mind and voice prep. Sending best wishes to all of your families and, well, everyone in the Florida area - I hope any effects of the Hurricane that's landing/landed there is minimal to all. Thank you for all you guys put in to Trivium. I think I speak on behalf of all Trivium fans that, we are grateful for all the sacrifices made in your lives to bring us your music.

Man... you are a great inspiration for me and many others... weird to say it, but I needed a video like this in my life lately. Hope everything is okay for you and your family as well!

You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are to the fans and life in general Matt. You're awesome man!!

Ive recently started a bit of lazy time after a near burnout of work, gym and more work. Much needed and feel well better for it

Saw you in Liverpool! You fist bumped my Mrs in the line 😂 an I didn't say a word cause I fell apart haha amazing show!!

Amazing video, thank you!

Your honor and discipline in your craft is inspiring to me. I was in 8th grade when i purchased Ascendancy and listened to it on repeat! Now for me to grow up and understand what it means to live healthily- to see that in an icon from my youth is just golden. There arent words to describe it adequately, especially considering the amount of musicians that burn out on the full time lifestyle, or worse, perish because of it. Much love and respect, thanks for sharing, Matt!

A day in the life of the most amazing person in metal. I will forever love you for introducing me to metal Matt.

I am glad that Trivium still going strong. Though that I don’t listen to Trivium very much these days, This is one of the band that I genuinely care to be still around.

Ever since I watched your video titled “failure” you have been a huge inspiration for me when it comes to discipline. Thanks for this motivational video

Working around injuries helped me so much. I used failed back surgery as an excuse for years and blew up to 300 pounds. Since I started lifting with my injuries in mind I'm a few weeks away from being down 100 pounds. Keto helped too. Great info man. Love your ethic.

Matt your day routine is so inspiring! 🔥I know it myself, that not just the physical, but the spiritual growth is what makes us better every day. Thanks for sharing your day with us! ❤

Thanks for sharing this Matt, it is really inspiring and insightful. Trivium is one of my favourite bands and you are one of my favourite musicians. Also, I will be at the Edinburgh show on Sep 2nd and I can’t wait

Matt is a massive inspiration to me, Trivium, Metallica and Pantera are the bands that have motivated and inspired me to pick the guitar up and keep trying to better myself, Matt's riffs are absolutely jaw droppingly bad-ass. It's mad because the things that are important to him in his daily routine are things that anyone can do if they want to, like even if you have nothing, yet we seem focus too much on what we haven't got or things we want that are out of our reach, yet here's this dude who's extremely successful and probably has the means to do whatever the F he wanted but has an insane level of discipline. I admit I would probably give in to all sorts of certain vices. It's so awesome to see it's the little things that mean a lot to him. He is such a cool human being

Thanks for this Matt, super cool, and happy for you on this crazy tour and nearing 2000 shows!

You are an inspiration to me since 2009 and still counting. You inspired me to play guitar, to love metal music and the scene, and being a better person. By seeing how you treat your fans and always appreciate other country culture reminds me about kindness. Saw you live in Indonesia this year is really my best day ever.

You're such an inspiration and one of the most humble and down to earth human beings. Thanks for sharing!

Really great video Matt. I've been implementing a routine for myself for the last 6 weeks, early rises, and taking care of my body with exercise and yoga. Taking care of my mind and setting myself up for the day before I start work, etc. It's unreal how sad and down I felt 8 weeks ago, to feeling completely at peace having discipline in my life. It's really great to see the discipline you have for yourself and it seems to be working wonders, there are a couple of great ideas in this video I will implement in my self-care routine. Thanks for sharing and inspiring 🙏

Your voice is like ASMR! This has inspired me to move and get in touch with nature more. Saw you in Stoke last week and you were incredible. Bless up x 🙌🏼👏🏼

Thank you for sharing this, Matt.

Really motivating Matt! Nice to see other people taking time for nature (and self care) everyday

got into you guys in 2005 after hearing Ascendancy and loved it. have live in Orlando since 1998 when I went to UCF. Seen you so many times live, so happy to see you guys get bigger and bigger.

You are my inspiration Matt! I will definitely start to incorporate your methods and routines into my daily life. I also like to excersize and need to get blood flowing. Thanks again for sharing this!

Thanks for this Matt!! Love this!… see you soon 🤘🏼🤘🏼

This great matt. Thanks for sharing

This was cool to watch. This really gives me a lot of motivation with not just practicing vocals, guitar, and drums, but in life in general. Trivium is also my all time favortie band! This is what I needed. Great vid Matt!

Thank you for sharing my friend - 3 weeks ago Ive started doing Yoga in which was inspired by you - still a lot of work to do but I’m glad that I’m doing it - Thank you again 😇🙏

I'd love to see a "A day in the Life of Lemmy / Till Lindemann" in that style with the same calm voice and atmospheric slow mo shots "I usually like to get the day going with a line or two and a cold beer. That really wakes my body up and helps my bloodflow. After i did a yoga session with a few groupies, i like to hit a blunt to take the edge off. I prefer to skip lunch on show days, as i usually end up on toilet minutes before the show starts. When i arrive at the venue, i usually enjoy a light pre-show-party with some groupies and make sure i get my calorie intake so i down a few tequila and top it of with a few thin lines - not too much, just enough to get me through the show. After the show, i like a good hot shower with some groupies and then we like to take the party to the hotel to ensure i wake up with a smooth comfy hangover next day. Yeah thats basically my routine. I used to party alot back in the days but i'm old, so i like slow it down a bit🙂"

The Sheffield gig on Wednesday was amazing, thanks for your dedication to making each set amazing. Already can't wait for the next time you're here 🙏

Matt you've grown soooooo much since I've started following you all in 04. Proud of you man. You're an inspiration for those of us with anxiety, depression and need to keep our body going. Keep doin you man. Proud of you

Thank you for sharing a day of your life with us fans.

I really appreciate this. You are very inspiring. Clean, calm. Mind and body.

Hearing about your routines and lifestyle really pushes myself and others to try to be more disciplined as you im sure. So thank you matt!

This was awesome! Tahnks for the amazing music!

Matt is such an inspiration to me. I’m trying my best to have such a disciplined regiment in my own life, and seeing this video makes me feel so motivated and proud of one of my favourite persons on the world. You’re amazing Matt! 🤘🎸

Rad video . Always held Matt in high regard as a musician , athlete and human and this video only elevated that respect .

I'm absolutely LOVING the music from Ibaraki!!! You can just tell a lot of work went into it 🖤

Always been a huge inspiration as a human being and a musician, always refer to your stuff when it comes to vocals and practice and has been the greatest thing I've done diving further into my love for music thanks to you, really looking forward to what you guys do next!

thank you for sharing, Matt 💜 I'd love to have your discipline and dedication... maybe one of these days 😊

I discovered Trivium in 2008 and I'm a big fan since then. You and Corey are the reason I play guitar almost everyday. I lost count of how many tracks I play on a daily routine in hope that one day I'll be able to meet the band and play a song with you guys. Your videos always inspired me to incorporate discipline on my working/family/music schedule, to balance everything is an achievement! 🤘😁

If you've followed trivium for a while you know Matt loves his videogames. Either way by far my favorite band right right here and it all started with Dead and Gone. Keep up the amazing work and all of the success youve had these past 3 albums is very long overdue and well deserved!

That's a fantastic routine. Taking time for yourself and caring about ones body is very important. Also what a great role model for my son @dashsonic128 ;) cannot wait to see you in Edinburgh on Saturday!

Love this vlog Matt! You really do know how to balance the touring life and stay healthy physically and mentally that is amazing! I’ll try to find time to breathe that’s probably something I need to focus on.

Really enjoyed the video. I could have happily listened to that for an hour, and listen to you explain how you practice each thing in full detail. Such as what exercises you do for your vocal warm ups, if you use any specific apps for the yoga and meditation. I think a lot of people including myself would love to try this stuff out but have no idea where to start . As there's a lot of information on the internet, sometimes its nice if someone can just post whats the best content they've personally found thats helper. Great vid!

Thank you for sharing Matthew. When I'm about to play live with my dudes, one of the biggest things for myself is food. Don't eat heavy food 30 seconds before you hit the stage if you are doing vocals, so I have to eat a small meal 1-3 hours before instead

going through radiation due to my skin cancer. 62 y.o. Retired Marine ( I know your dad was a Marine as well). There may be something to Marines and skin cancer although the VA totally disagrees. Anyway dropping a line to let you know that my Sons bought me your MKH LP and I love it. Take care and continued success.

Man this was so inspiring. I started doin some yoga a couple weeks ago and been real nice for my back and my mind.

Hey Matt! Its been quite a while, 18 years ago. You guys were touring on Ascendancy and came to Huntington WV to a little club, I think it was called The Monkey Bar at the time. You and Travis were shooting pool with me and a friend at the pool tables before the show and then signed my copy of Ascendancy and gave me a pick or 2. Cool memory. Appreciate the music, man!

Man not only is your singing voice amazing but your talking voice too! I could listen to you talk for hours

Hey Matt! Im just realizing Shogun turns 15 this year. As did All Hope Is Gone. I remember in 2008 just discovering metal and Trivium and Slipknot were the first 2 bands I fell in love with. I remember getting to experience for the first time the thrill and excitement that comes from a band you love releasing a record. I actually recall buying both of those albums on iTunes as soon as they came out. Shortly after Slipknot announced the All Hope is Gone tour. I begged my family to let me go. They obliged lol. First ever concert at 14 years old. I remember after your set (you guys are the first band I EVER saw live) I was so blown away, I turned to my friend and said “I wanna learn to play guitar now” and all these years later I still play. And this video inspired me. You’re the man, Matt!

You know when you make lunch and you sit back down at your desk even though you shouldn't but you do and you open RU-vid hoping for some golden recommendations... 👌 thank you for everything Mr Heafy, you are one inspiring dude.

This is super unexpected, didnt know you do so much to take care of your mental before tour! Been listening to Trivium since 2021 and still love you guys!

Awesome to see this vid and ... your narration is sooh soothing. Coolio Sir Mattsky. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

give me a good motivation here Matty, I'm same age as you and watching you doing so great, black belt bjj and being active and stream, it's so good you give this motivation to your fans and being good role model, I wonder how do you manage all this, it's very very hard. I promise I will workout more from now on and will improve my bum life. see you at the gigs...

I see this as an aspiration, if Matt can do it with his chaotic schedules then i can find at the very least an hour a day to focus on me. God bless you Matt, Trivium has been my therapy for the last 20 odd years.

What a brilliant video very inspiring... i was at the trivium show in stoke on trent it was a brilliant show ... all the best for the future .

This is a great video! Especially seeing what you do while on Tour. Ive starting touring often and can struggle finding good routines! So this helps a lot

Matt touching grass in the next level

This is really inspiring, I need to be more outside and spend time in nature. Thanks for sharing this

I honestly don't remember a band singer recording their day, I thought it was very thoughtful, Thanks for sharing with us Matthew ❤

This was awesome! More of this content please

You are a great example of a person Matt. I hope that both you and Trivium continue to find inspiration to create more musical content than what you already have is very good.

Saw you guys play at the O2 in Bristol on Monday! I last saw you at Plymouth Pavillions back in 2007 when I was 15! You’re a legend and thanks for your great music!

I just want to say thank you. You have been a major inspiration for me because past couple of years I’m a bit struggling to be happy because it’s tough to live sometimes. On wiki it said you lived a straight edge lifestyle away from bad habits, I can sense a monky healthy living in these vid it gave most of guys a spark to find truth in life thank you for everything. I love your music too

thanks for sharing matt, very interestingto see how the singer of my favorite band does things on a regular.

damn, this guy has a really good voice!! he should consider becoming a singer and joining a band

Such a cool person, we need more people like him in the world!

great. a rockstar that really does inspiring stuff and dont show his fans how to burn through your life as fast and wasted as possible. high respect!

Epic stuff, alot of bands back in the day on tour would just be either partying every day and wondered why they broke up or got lazy, not trivium Mediation, warm ups, yoga, saunas, weight training, calasthetics, Ju jitsu, stretching, journaling, etc means trivium will be around for many years to come.

What I learned from this video. 1. Having a routine can be beneficial, and help you maintain consistency in your day to day life. 2. Nature is calming, and healing. Submerge yourself in it if you have the opportunity. 3. Be in tune with your body, and understand what your body needs to perform optimally. This also means being mindful of injuries, and proceed accordingly. 4. The importance of having people in your life that you love to spend time with. Awesome video, Mr. Heafy. I hope to see Trivium when you guys come back to Michigan.

That was cool to watch, I like watching the training aspect.. that hammer thing looks interesting. Never seen one before...I want to start up jujitsu but im worried about my shoulder. It was good to hear that you've had some injuries to overcome. It shows me that i could still do it i guess. Thanks Matt 👍

Hey there! Really loved learning more about YOU as a person, as a musician, and as a human who is doing what they can to be their best and live their best life. I resonate with so many things you said and wow, I feel validated! :) I am good friends with Kyle Abbott who connected with me the other day to inquire about helping to find you taiko drums! I hope that you are able to acquire a few drums and can begin incorporating them into your music! If you ever want to learn basic techniques/form or more about the history of the drum, give me a shout! I'd be more than happy to share! Best of luck in all you do, and keep up the amazing work! -Jason

This video made me love you even more Kiichi.

*Matt's speaking voice has more bass than John Cena's or even the entire Metallica discography.*

Foam rolling legs can be quite painful sometimes, quads especially! I completely agree about having good blood circulation, mind becomes so much brighter and more energy throughout the day.

i wish all Members of Trivium long and fulfilled lifes! * and of course their families too!

i like listening to your voice, the way you talk, i feel like im learning something, you should do a podcast or something teaching stuff...

Thanks for sharing brother.

Hey matt if you are reading these comments I just wanted to shout out your Chaos Hour show on liquid metal. Makes me feel like im sitting down with a metal loving friend and digging through a vinyl collection. Great vibes, keep up the good work!

that was so inspirational Matt the discipline you have is very inspirational

All about the steam room!
