Over the past 20 years, Grammy-nominated band Trivium – Matt Heafy [vocals, guitar], Corey Beaulieu [guitar], Paolo Gregoletto [bass], and Alex Bent [drums] – have quietly claimed their place at the forefront of heavy music in the 21st century. The Florida-based band is pleased to announce their ninth full length, What The Dead Men Say, will be released through Roadrunner Records on April 24.
The album is available for pre-order now (though do so on Amazon and you help support this site). Today, the band has shared the video for the first single “Catastrophist” which you can stream below.
“What The Dead Men Say is everything that is Trivium,” explains Heafy. “On this album, one can hear the proper ingredients of past, present, and future Trivium. The Trivium sound is having everything the band does – on one album.”
“With the new album, we took what worked on the The Sin And The Sentence and dialled it up to 11,” says bassist Gregoletto.
Beaulieu echoes that sentiment, saying, “We wanted to build on the foundation that we established with the last album. The record has all the elements that are Trivium – along with all of us wanting to keep pushing ourselves creatively. This led to a highly-inspired and fast-paced writing and recording process that really captures the energy of the band.”
Additionally, Heafy and Gregoletto will serve as special guests at the Mortal Kombat 11 Grand Finals ‘Final Kombat 2020’ on Sunday, March 8 in Chicago, Illinois. The event will crown the best of the best Mortal Kombat 11 players in the world.
Trivium will spend most of 2020 on the road in support of What The Dead Men Say. The band will tour across the USA with Megadeth and Lamb of God this summer and autumn.
