This album feels like a real synthesis of everything Trivium has been, and more besides.<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201cThat\u2019s really nailed it. Making [\u201817\u2019s] \u2018The Sin And The Sentence\u2019, we went through our career and looked at everything we thought we\u2019d done right and done wrong. That record captured the best bits of all the other albums we\u2019d done before, and \u2018What The Dead Men Say\u2019 also collects everything from \u2018The Sin\u2026\u2019 and back. What I noticed from really scrutinising everything we\u2019ve ever done was, I looked across all my, top, favourite Trivium records: \u2018The Sin\u2026\u2019, \u2018In Waves\u2019, \u2018Shogun\u2019, \u2018Ascendancy\u2019, \u2018From Ember To Inferno\u2019. And with those records specifically, we created music amongst the four of us in a room, before allowing anything else to happen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before sitting with a producer or going into the studio, we made sure that we could play the music from start to finish by muscle memory, that I could sing it and scream it, that we had at least 90% of the vocal melodies and lyrics written before we were ready to go into the studio. The three others that I put towards the bottom of my favourites &#8211; because they\u2019re all my favourites I guess! &#8211; and are very tough on, are \u2018Vengeance Falls\u2019, \u2018Silence In The Snow\u2019 and \u2018The Crusade\u2019- and with those three, we made the conscious decision to stay within a lane of Trivium\u2019s sound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How so?<\/strong><br \/><em>\u201c\u2018The Crusade\u2019, in particular, was a decision by me to rebel entirely against everything that \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 had been. As great as \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 was, and everything exploding for us in the UK off of that record, I looked around and went, \u2018Alright, we just did all of this. Every other band in the world is now also doing this\u2019. I\u2019m not saying that we created that formula, but back then I was like, \u2018Everyone\u2019s screaming and singing, doing breakdowns and solos and double bass, let\u2019s do the opposite of that: more akin to the \u201880s influence of where we come from\u2019. We became like a classic metal band, and saw that the UK was pretty shocked by it. But the rest of the world started picking up on it, that\u2019s where Iron Maiden took us on tour and Europe started opening up for us. It\u2019s always an interesting time when I\u2019m talking to the UK press, because the time of \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 in the UK was the only time and place that our band were on every magazine cover and winning all the awards. It was \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 in the UK, and after that it\u2019s really, truly been built off the base of our supporters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was so great that the UK gave us that shot and Download worked, even though we showed up onstage not warmed up and had only woken up 30 minutes before, were rusty and not sure if we could pull it off. But somehow it all just clicked in and everything happened right. So I feel like with these past few records, especially the latest one, there have been times when we\u2019ve been reflective over everything. But there have also been times where we haven\u2019t been pulling from anything specific. We\u2019ve gotten back into the mindset of \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 and \u2018From Ember To Inferno\u2019, which was that we were just making the kind of music that made us feel good and excited to play. When we made \u2018Ascendancy\u2019 we didn\u2019t have fans or supporters, no one knew who we were, so we just made the kind of music that made us feel something. That\u2019s where we\u2019ve been at with this new record. Not staying in or out of a lane, just allowing anything and everything to happen.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksound.tv\/news\/read\/listen-triviums-punishing-new-song-amongst-the-shadows-the-stones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rock Sound News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;What The Dead Men Say&#8217; is getting closer.
