Trivium guitarist Corey Beaulieu claims the band's new song "Amongst The Shadows & The Stones" captures what he considers "the heaviest material Trivium has done across our entire catalog." After hearing about 15 seconds of the track, it's pretty obvious that Beaulieu is dead on with that statement.
"The inspiration for the song started when a war history website 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," says Beaulieu. "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."
Trivium will release their new album What The Dead Men Say on April 24. Pre-orders are available here.
