Today, TRIVIUM, vocalist/guitarist MATTHEW K. HEAFY, guitarist COREY BEAULIEU,bassist PAOLO GREGOLETTO and drummer ALEX RÜDINGER, are thrilled to announce their new album, CROWN IN THE GRAVE, which arrives on November 20, through Roadrunner Records. “Crown In The Grave is our eleventh record, and when you get this far into career, it’s easy to rest on what you’ve already done — or to reinvent yourself just for the sake of it,” says Gregoletto. “With this record, we wanted to find the space between those two things: Take everything we’ve learned and everything that makes Trivium what it is, but present it in ways we hadn’t before.”
Also, Trivium has shared the title track, which builds from a gradual progression of layered riffs into an explosive wall of metal, pairing crushing heaviness with the precision, melody and technical firepower that have defined the band for more than two decades. The ditty has galloping riffs, robust solos and battering ram percussion, seamlessly sewn together with three-tiered vocals. But like the rest of the album, it stays true to the band’s signature sound, all the while pushing it further into new sonic
As for the Japanese Noh theater-inspired and post-apocalyptic music video, it brings the album’s artwork and themes into a smoke-filled dojo, where the main characters prepare for an impending showdown through a series of tense, atmospheric sequences. Drawing on the band’s longtime passion for classic Japanese theater and martial arts, the visual captures the discipline, drama, and focused physicality at the heart of the song’s storytelling.
