Trivium release new music video for ‘The Phalanx’

TRIVIUM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Phalanx, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album, In The Court Of The Dragon, which is scheduled to be released on Friday.

The band partnered with Elder Scrolls Online to create the video, which premiered on their #GatesOfOblivion Year-End Stream on Bethesda Games‘ Twitch channel. The band’s passion for Bethesda‘s vast collection of franchises made it a no-brainer for the band to officially partner with Elder Scrolls.

“The Phalanx was like an old muscle car sitting in the driveway with no engine,” says bassist Paolo Gregoletto about the song’s unique evolution and origin story. “It was a demo from Shogun that had the middle section removed for another song (Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis), demoed again on Silence In The Snow but ultimately scrapped, and now it has found its home on the new album. Once we knew the album was going in a more epic, proggy direction, I immediately thought of the song and pitched the idea to the others. With a few minor changes to some chorus parts, a brand middle section, and the orchestrations from IHSAHN, The Phalanx was reborn. It’s got a lot of new and old riffs and I think you should dig this if you liked Shogun.”

In The Court Of The Dragon is set for release on October 8th via Roadrunner Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will tour the UK in November.
