Machine Gun Kelly live guitarist Sophie Lloyd recently denied rumors that she’s been romantically involved with the divisive rapper-turned-pop-punk artist. Now, she’s released a collaborative song with Trivium singer-guitarist Matt Heafy, “Fall of Man.”
The song was teased last week when Heafy posted a teaser of the music video. The single itself then emerged on Friday (Feb. 24), with the video still on its way.

On Feb. 17. Heafy 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:
