Grammy-nominated heavyweights Trivium — vocalist/guitarist Matthew K. Heafy; guitarist Corey Beaulieu; bassist Paolo Gregoletto; and drummer Alex Bent — have announced the release of their forthcoming, three-song EP Struck Dead. It arrives on October 31 via longtime label Roadrunner.
While it may only be three songs in length, in typical Trivium fashion, it packs a powerhouse punch, thanks to masterful riffing and the dual-style vocal prowess the band has built its nearly three-decade reputation on. It was produced by Trivium and recorded with Mark Lewis at the band’s Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was mixed and mastered by Josh Wilbur.
Today, the band also shares the video for the first single “Bury Me With My Screams”. The song premiered via Heafy‘s “Chaos Hour” show on SiriusXM Liquid Metal and will be debuted live in the band’s headline set at Bloodstock Open Air festival this Friday night. Watch the music video below.
“In 2023, we decided it was finally time to take the next step with The Hangar space we purchased — it was time to turn it into a full studio,” says Gregoletto. “We brought in designer Roger D’Arcy, thanks to an introduction from Mark Lewis, and set out on a year-long build. While construction was underway, we were deep in rehearsals for The Poisoned Ascendancy tour, celebrating Ascendancy’s 20th anniversary. What started as an idea to release one single during the tour quickly grew into two, then three, as we kept writing while we were waiting for the build-out to be completed.”
He continues: “During that time, the energy of revisiting Ascendancy started bleeding into these new songs. Matt poured a lot of his personal struggles from the past year into the music, and we used the writing process as a cathartic release. Those sessions evolved into a three-song EP that we’re incredibly proud of, and we can’t wait to debut ‘Bury Me With My Screams’ live at Bloodstock Open Air festival.”
While Trivium may be debuting their brand new track at Bloodstock Open Air festival this weekend, its exposure won’t stop there. European fans can also be in with a chance of witnessing this new era on a string of European dates this month, with USA appearances close behind.
Trivium will embark on “The Ascend Above The Ashes” trek, which kicks off on October 31 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and runs through December 14, culminating in an epic hometown show in Orlando, Florida. Special guests are Jinjer and Heriot.
Five years ago, Trivium used profits generated from a livestreamed concert to purchase a decommissioned airplane hangar. The Orlando facility is now serving as the band’s headquarters for both recording and rehearsing, in addition to being a place where Trivium can store its equipment.
