Trivium announce new album ‘In The Court Of The Dragon’
TRIVIUM have announced a new album!
Titled In The Court Of The Dragon, the upcoming album from the American metal band is their tenth full-length effort (the follow-up to 2020’s What The Dead Men Say) and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Roadrunner Records.
The record was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur and recorded in autumn 2020 at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. Alongside the news of the new album, TRIVIUM have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Feast Of Fire. The new song is the second single to be revealed from the upcoming album, following on the release of the title-track last month.
“There’s always that one song you aren’t expecting when you begin writing a new album,” says bassist Paolo Gregoletto about the song and, in turn, sharing an inside look at the band’s song-writing process. “It could be a riff written on the spot in the rehearsal space, a lyric that pairs just right with a melody, or in the case of Feast Of Fire, sitting right there in front of us in the middle of a demo that Corey brought in. We were well into pre-production at Full Sail when we all decided that something about the demo we had tracked was good but could be even better. Our producer Josh Wilbur even had in his notes: ‘Bridge is special, maybe so special it needs its own song.’ We tore the song apart and began again on the spot.”
“We went into this album knowing we had time to consider everything and anything that came about during this period, and if need be, we could start again if it didn’t feel right given that no touring was on the horizon. I had the words Feast Of Fire written in my running list of notes for lyric ideas that I try to amass before we record. Something about the phrase stuck out to me. It felt like the missing piece of the story we were trying to tell with this album, a climactic moment, and a real centrepiece for the narrative. After all these years I’m still blown away at how a song can really appear out of thin air and take the album to a place you weren’t expecting. Those are the moments we are always looking for when making a record.”
