Trivium have premiered a new single, “Bleed Into Me” just in time for their ninth studio album release on April 24. The band have a number of activities planned in celebration of the new album, What The Dead Men Say, which was released on April 24 via Roadrunner Records. The activities include virtual in-store livestream events, including a Q&A session with the band and Josh Wilbur on Wednesday, April 29 and more.
In the new track, “Bleed Into Me” the lyrics have depth and include, “Bleed into me. Those feelings you’re harboring, the silence says it all, tragedy, the look before the fall. Struggles and dreams mixed into one. The grim rituals have only begun.” Vocalist, Matt Heafy leads you down with intensity as the guitar and drums provide the blended backdrop that escalates the song forward. More than halfway through the track, a guitar and drum solo percolates before Heafy comes through with lyrics, “Falling down, falling down, an ounce of your empathy, struggles and dreams, they’ll drift off before you are gone.” He finalizes the track with a harrowing cry, “As it bleeds into me, let it sink into you. Tell them the story, tell them the truth. Let it bleed into you.”
Trivium includes members, Matt Heafy [vocals, guitar], Corey Beaulieu [guitar], Paolo Gregoletto [bass], and Alex Bent[drums]. On Friday, April 24, Matt Heafy will do a full album playthrough on his massively popular Twitch channel at 3pm ET. On Saturday, April 25, Trivium‘s explosive main stage performance at Download in the UK from Summer 2019 will stream on Knotfest.com at 3pm ET.
