The track is the lead single from the band’s forthcoming eleventh studio album
Metal mainstays Trivium are back with a brand new song “Dead Inside of Me.” The track is the lead single from their forthcoming eleventh studio album, tentatively due out next year. Stream the official music video below, directed by Pavel Trebukhin.
It’s a creepy journey into the darkest depths to which the human psyche can plummet.
It serves as the first new music from the band’s forthcoming eleventh studio album and the follow up to 2021’s In the Court of the Dragon.
But for now, diehards can feast on “Dead Inside of Me,” which finds the Florida quartet at its very best. The song is powered by modern thrash riffs, deep, guitar-forward power grooves, battering ram rhythms, and masterful melodies. And this is Trivium — so of course they don’t skimp on the solos.
“‘Dead Inside of Me’ was a song that came together at the end of a long day of writing new music last summer. It started with a riff I’d had kicking around for five or six years called ‘Slam,’ looping over a simple groove,” explains bassist Paolo Gregoletto. “A lot of the most fun song ideas come from blending two contrasting ideas together. Take a death metal riff and play it like a stadium rock song. Let the screaming and singing weave together until they feel like one voice. Being able to explain the idea that simply as the song was coming together helped keep us laser-focused and on track to see the vision through to the end.”
He finishes, “The song was loosely inspired by the Japanese concept of honne and tatemae — the tension between your true inner feelings and the mask you present to the outside world to hide them.”
Trivium will hit the road on November 5 in St. Petersburg, Florida and run through December 19 in Charlotte, North Carolina for a North American headline run with In Flames, Orbit Culture, Fit for an Autopsy, and Frozen Soul in tow. It is a truly stacked lineup that cannot and should not be missed.
“This fall’s Trivium tour is a huge one for us,” the band declared upon announcing the tour earlier this year. “The lineup is stacked from top to bottom, and we’re honored to have special guests In Flames, who not only influenced our early years but continue to prove time and again why they’re one of the greatest metal bands of all time. With Orbit Culture, Fit For An Autopsy, and Frozen Soul rounding out the bill, we can’t wait to get out there, kick off this next era of Trivium with Rudi behind the kit, and give you a taste of the new music we’ve been working on. We’ll see you soon!”
