Trivium shared a new song “Amongst The Shadows & The Stones” and can be heard below. The song is off their upcoming ninth full-length album, What Dead Men Say available on April 24th.
Guitarist Corey Beaulieu describes the inspiration behind the song:
“The inspiration for the song started when a war history web site that I follow posted a story of a soldier visiting the graves of his fallen comrades and he described it as walking ‘amongst the shadows and the stones. The first thing I came up with was, ‘The ghosts of war will haunt my bones, amongst the shadows and the stones,’ which then inspired the music for the song. But the lyrical subject became something totally different as we got deeper into the songwriting, but that was the spark. Now “Amongst The Shadows & The Stones” captures elements of the heaviest material Trivium has done across our entire catalog.”
The band is also working on a virtual in-store, which they will livestream on April 27 at 2 p.m. on their website. Fans can pre-order a CD copy of What Dead Men Say and have it personalized by the band, who will be signing copies of the album live during the virtual event.
Last month the band released the music video for “What Dead Men Day” which can be seen below.
Trivium is scheduled to be at the Resch Center on October 31st with Megadeth, Lamb of God, and In Flames.
Heafy has also been performing the shows missed on their Asian tour via twitch.
