Trivium – Story by Charles Ken

Trivium will release their ninth studio album, “What the Dead Men Say,” in April

Orlando, Florida, metal band Trivium will release their new studio album, “What the Dead Men Say,” on April 24. The album, which marks the band’s ninth, is the follow-up 2017’s “The Sin and the Sentence.”

“What the Dead Men Say is everything that is Trivium,” frontman Matt Heafy said in a statement. “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.”

“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 dialed it all up to 11,” added bass player Paolo Gregoletto.

Guitar Corey Beaulieu also stated, “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.”

The album’s lead single, “Catastrophist,” is available now via major digital outlets. You can view the music video for “Catastrophist” via YouTube below.

Trivium will take “What the Dead Men Say” on the road this summer and fall when they tour with Megadeth and Lamb of God. Find those tour dates here.
