Machine Gun Kelly live guitarist Sophie Lloyd recently denied rumors that she’s been romantically involved with the divisive rapper turned pop-punk artist. While that’s undoubtedly made the past week difficult for her, some good news is on the horizon, as it looks like she’ll be collaborating with Trivium vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy on her latest track, “Fall of Man.”

Yesterday (Feb 17), Heafy posted a teaser of the music video for “Fall of Man” to Instagram and Facebook. Although it lasts only a few seconds, it gives a good indication of the song’s hypnotically hectic nature. Of course, Heafy also provided a detailed and humble description of the partnership:
Sophie Lloyd is an immensely talented force of a musician and songwriter. I recall first seeing Sophie’s guitar playing online and being truly blown away – so having been a fan of Sophie’s for several years, I was honored when asked to guest on an upcoming track.
When I learned too that Trivium had been a longtime favorite band of Sophie’s – I was humbled and appreciative.
With Sophie now fronting both the solo project and being lead guitarist for MGK – there’s no question Sophie Lloyd is taking over.
I can’t wait for the world to hear this single.
Expectedly, Heafy’s followers had mixed reactions. For instance, someone on Facebook wrote, “Sounds awesome , I can’t wait to hear the full version.” Likewise, one Instagram user commented: “So excited for this!”
In contrast, however, another Instagram fan admitted, “The MGK involvement is a turnoff, but I’ll listen and see what it’s like.”
Lloyd posted about the song on social media, too, writing:
