Do you loathe injustice? Do you hate seeing innocent people suffering at the hands of unspeakable evil? Trivium’s latest single, “Villainy Thrives,” perfectly captures the feelings of rage that build up inside all of those who long for justice, and seek retribution to evil doers.
The follow-up single to “Strife” has been justifiably climbing up the Octane Big ‘Uns Countdown in recent weeks. An incredible, modern-day anthem of rage, the rising popularity of “Villainy Thrives” happens to be coinciding with the disturbing news of recent times.
