The third webisode featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the new
TRIVIUM album,
"Shogun", can be viewed below.
TRIVIUM has tapped
Colin Richardson (
SLIPKNOT,
MACHINE HEAD,
FEAR FACTORY,
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE,
NAPALM DEATH) to mix
"Shogun", which is scheduled for release on September 30 via
Roadrunner Records. The CD is currently being mixed in London, with
Jeff Rose and
Martin "Ginge" Ford assisting on engineering duties.
For
"Shogun",
TRIVIUM chose not to record in the familiar environs of their home state of Florida. Instead the band headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work with producer
Nick Raskulinecz (
RUSH,
FOO FIGHTERS,
STONE SOUR). The result is a monolithic album that crystallizes the band's sound and showcases
TRIVIUM's finest elements. Vocalist/guitarist
Matt Heafy is thrilled with the album, saying, "We made a cohesive, epic metal album that combines all of the ingredients of everything we feel we have ever done 'right' musically, while adding a new direction that the music called for. We had so much fun creating this album and hope our fans feel that energy when they listen."

ShogunTRIVIUM reportedly wrote around 40 songs last year and demoed the best 15 or so before commencing the new LP recording sessions. "When we went in, we thought, 'Hey, these songs are good enogh for the album already,' but we've overhauled almost everything,"
Heafy told
Revolver magazine. "
Nick has encouraged us to explore so many new ideas that we never would have thought of."
In a previous interview with
Revolver, guitarist
Corey Beaulieu stated about the upcoming CD, "We want to capture the best ingredients of everything we've done. Each song has a little bit of everything, going between something heavy and then melodic, and then back to something heavy. So it has a really interesting balance. On
'The Crusade',
Matt did almost all singing, so this time we're bringing back some of the screaming that's on [2005's]
'Ascendancy'."
