"GRAMMY-nominated heavyweights 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. It arrives November 20 through Roadrunner Records.
“Crown In The Grave is our eleventh record, and when you get this far into a 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.""
After over two decades in the spotlight, Trivium have realised their collective potential like never before. The riffs crunch and crack bones, solos burst into flames upon impact, screams bleed truth without filter, and towering hooks break through the clouds. This is Trivium confidently reborn as the beast they were meant to be.
""Facing yourself is the final quest,"" Heafy observes. ""We had to do it as a band, and I had to do it in my personal life. I freed my mind from the constraints of being worried. I made a decision to just sing.""
For the first time, the group crafted Crown In The Grave in their own creative hub and de facto clubhouse - The Hangar - in Orlando. Plus, they officially welcomed drummer Alex Rüdinger (Rüdi) in the studio. During 2015, the drummer nearly joined Trivium, but opted to focus on other endeavours. A decade later, he heeded the call. ""It happened when it was meant to,"" Heafy declares. ""Rüdi didn't just kill it on the drums; his contributions as a writer made a huge difference.""
Reteaming with longtime producer Josh Wilbur [Korn, Lamb of God] and working with mixer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amon Amarth) for the first time, the musicians rallied around a shared vision. ""We took all of the elements of Trivium, honed in on them, and focused on writing songs with big riffs and big hooks,” notes Beaulieu. ""We made the record we’d been dying to make."""
