Trivium

Various belief systems throughout history exalt the number 10 as divine. 10 years comprise a decade, wetraditionally possess 10 fingers and 10 toes, our very decimal system remains based on 10, and so on and soforth. Trivium grasp for collective perfection on their 10th full-length offering, In The Court of the Dragon[Roadrunner Records]. Following 22 years, over 1 million units moved, hundreds of sold-out shows, and halfa-billion streams, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Florida quartet—Matt Heavy [vocals, guitar], CoreyBeaulieu [guitar], Paolo Gregoletto [bass], and Alex Bent [drums]—deliver a definitive statement cast inironclad guitar fireworks, pummeling rhythms, lyrical provocations, and stadium-shaking choruses. It springsfrom the past, seizes the present, and hints at the future of Trivium—and metal—all at once.“Getting to album 10 felt momentous,” says Paolo. “Not many bands get this far, so it had to live up to beingthe 10th record. We didn’t know if we were going to be able to tour, so it had to still be impressive enough tokeep everyone’s attention. It was the sole focus for the last ten months. We had to make sure we met the barwe’ve set for our fans and ourselves.”“To be 10 records in is an accomplishment in and of itself,” agrees Corey. “To us, this music felt special. We’rethe strongest we’ve ever been as friends and as a band.
