Trivium have just unveiled the title track from their new album, Silence In The Snow, out October 2nd via Roadrunner Records. The music video was directed by JonPaul Douglass and features some striking imagery soundtracked with a heavy yet melodic track reminiscent of some of the more mainstream 80s power metal bands.
The song is a carry over from the Shogun sessions according to frontman Matt Heafy:
For those of you wondering, this song was written for Shogun, and is basically almost the same as it was, so Shogun fans rejoice; didn’t like Shogun? You may not dig this. But know that since I was 12, I wanted to be a great singer I screamed, because I couldn’t sing. I am proud and excited to finally be able to do what I love the way I love.
Don’t love it? Our old stuff still exists. Love it? Awesome. I love both sides of you all regardless.
Screaming is easy. Singing is hard. I’ve always been a fan of what’s harder. If you love the old stuff — listen to the old stuff, it’s still there and we still play it live.
We always want to evolve and make what we want to make. You can’t say many other bands can say that. They do what they think people want or are told to; we do what we want every time. And we love our TRIVIUM supporters worldwide.
I'm curious to hear what the rest of the album sounds like.
