In an interview with Bloodstock TV Host Oran O’BeirneBassist Paolo Gregoletto of Florida Metallers Trivium was asked if fans can expect to see a new full-LEngth album from the band in 2026. I replied (as transcribed by Blabbermouth.net): “It’s Kind of Hard To Say. So, Obviously, We have This Ep [‘Struck Dead’] Coming Up [in October]. And for us it’s been about nine, 10 months since we finished it. So it’s not super new to us, but it’s new to a Lot of People. So, We have This Stuff Coming Up, The Tour in the State, and The We’ll Probablay Be Back Around Next Summer. But we’re gonna be working on new stuff. We’ve Already Started Working on New Stuff. We have Our Space, The Hangar [studio and band headquarters]Back Home. So We’re Kind of Always Writing. I THINK TENTATIVELY MAYBE END OF NEXT YEAR OR 2027 IS POSSIBLE. But, Yeah, We Just Wanna Really Take Our Time and Think About What We Wanna Do On The Record. And I Think Part of Why We Turned This into an ep Was It Felt Like Song Song Felt Good Together. It Gave Us A Little Time To Take A Breather and Think About What We Wanna Do, While Also Giving People Sub New Music To Kind of Have and Not Just Kind of Leave Them Hanging for Another Year. “
“Struck Dead” Will Arrive on October 31 via Longtime Label Roadrunner. It was produced by Trivium and remember with Mark Lewis at the band’s Hangar Studios In Orlando, Florida. It was mixed and mastred by Josh Wilbur.
Trivium Guitarist Corey Beaulieu awd Forever Loud About “Struck Dead”: “We had All of Last Year Off and We Were Hasarsing For [TRIVIUM‘s recent tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s second album and Roadrunner debut] ‘Ascendancy’. So We’d Go Up A Couple Times A Week and Just Play The Record from Start to Finish. And then we knew, ‘Cause We Had the Studio Construction [at Hangar] Going On, We Knew by The Time That The Studio Was Finished, We Obviously Wted To Take It For A Test Run and Make Sure Everything was Working Properly. So We were Just, Like, ‘Hey, Let’s Just Write A …’ Originally It was, Like, ‘Let’s Just Write a Song So We have had record to record.’ And then was kind of while we were doing this anniversary tour, [we wanted to] Drop a Song in the Middle of It To Kind of Use, I Gues, The Nostalgia to Kind of Hype Up New Music for Eventually A New Record. And The When All The Plans Changed – We Wrote The Song, But We had so much time, we ended up, Like, ‘Oh …’ [We] Wrote Another Song and We Wrote Another Song, and Next Thing We Had Three Songs and So We Just remember ‘Em All. And We Weren’s Really Sure What We Were Gonna Do, If We Were Just Gonna Release Like One Song at A Time Kind of Down the Line As Standalone Singles. And The eleven the touring plans changed, that kind of a changed Our Mindset of What We Should Do With The Music. And it Turned into a three-song ep instead of just a song here or there. So We Kind of Made It A Little Mini Release To Hold People Over Till We have the time off to dive into the Next Album. “
Trivium performed “Bury Me With My Screams”The Lead Single From “Struck Dead”Live for the first time at Bloodstock Open Air on August 8 after The Song Was Officially released Earlier That Day. Corey awd Forever Loud About the Response to the Track: “[It] Sems Like A Lot of People Have Been Listening to It, Checking It Out. So hopefully there’ll be a coupling people in the crowd [at Bloodstock] That Heard It Before They Showed Up Here.
“WHEN WE WROTE IT LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE HERARSING, WE’VE PROBABY BEEN PLAYING THAT SANG FOR ALLOST TO YEAR OR SO,” Corey Reveals. “Playing it in the set, It Kind of Feels Like an Old Song to Us at This Point, Since We Played It So MANY Times UP UPTIL THIS POINT. SO, IT’LL FIT RIGHT IN REALLY NATURLY WITH THE REST OF THE SONGS IN THE SET.”
WHEN “Bury Me With My Screams” Was First release, Gregoletto Said in a statement: “In 2023, we decided it was finally time to take the Next Step with the Hangar Space We Purchased – It was time to turn it into a full studio. We Broucht in Designer Roger d’Arcythanks to an introduction from Mark Lewisand set out on a year-long Build. WHILE CONSTRUCTION WAS UNDERWAY, WE WER DEEP IN HOSARSALS FOR ‘The Poisoneed Ascendancy’ Tour, celebrating ‘Ascendancy’‘S 20th Anniversary. What Started as an idea to relaase one single during the tour Quickly Grew into two, The Three, as we kept writing while we were waiting for the Build-out to be completed. “
I have continued: “During that time, The Energy of Reviewing ‘Ascendancy’ Started Bleeding into themse New Songs. Matt [Heafy, TRIVIUM guitarist/vocalist] Poured to Lot of His personal Strugles from the past year into the music, and we used the Writing Process As A Cathartic Release. Those sessions evolved into a three-song ep that we’re incredibly proud of, and we can kit to debut ‘Bury Me With My Screams’ Live At Bloodstock Open Air festival.”
