Silence in the Snow is the upcoming seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium, which will be released on October 2, 2015.[2] It is the first album to feature new drummer Mat Madiro, who joined the band in May 2014. This is also the band's first album not to feature any kind of unclean vocals at all. Michael "Elvis" Baskette was hired as the producer.
The band premiered "Silence in the Snow" and "Blind Leading the Blind" on their headlining performance on Bloodstock Open Air. "Blind Leading the Blind" was later released as a single on YouTube August 13, 2015. On August 21, 2015 a music video was released on YouTube for "Blind Leading the Blind".
The third single "Until the World Goes Cold" premiered on Octane on August 26, 2015.[3] The music video premiered on YouTube the day after.[4]
On September 25, 2015, a week prior the worldwide release, the entire album (including two bonus tracks) was officially streamed on Octane. Heafy, Beaulieu and Gregoletto were also participating in the radio program, breaking down the songs and commenting on the songwriting process.[5][6]
Musical style[]
Guitarist Corey Beaulieu cites Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio as the main influences, as well as touring experience with Heaven & Hell back in 2007. He said the title song was written during Shogun sessions but was eventually cut from the final release, as the band thought it did not fit "Shogun's sound."[7]
During the album's making, vocalist Matt Heafy has worked with vocal coach Ron Anderson, in order to improve his voice which he blew in 2014. The result of his training is a more melodic, clean singing style, without any harsh vocals being present on the album.[8]
Track listing[]
All songs written and composed by Trivium, except "Snøfall" by Ihsahn.
