Eighteen years and seven albums into a frustratingly inconsistent career, fans could be forgiven for approaching any new release from Trivium with a sense of caution. The set of era-defining anthems penned on 2005’s Ascendancy was followed up by the bloated, incoherent hotchpotch of styles heard on its follow-up, The Crusade . The progressive, full-throttle double-whammy of 2008’s Shogun and 2011’s In Waves was counteracted by the divisive trad plod of 2015’s Silence In The Snow . A pattern has emerged, and for all the promise the band have shown over the years, surely, it’s time, eight albums in, to stand up and define exactly who Trivium are. The opening title track of The Sin And The Sentence will surely set some fears to rest, exhibiting two of the previously mentioned strong points of the band’s past, namely the huge fist-pumping arena metal grandeur of Ascendancy with the complex, technical metallic riffing of Shogun working in tandem to exceptional effect. It’s six and a half minutes that perfectly sets the tone for what is to follow. Second track Beyond Oblivion again clocks in way past the five-minute mark, containing a massive gang vocal that will sound glorious from festival stages the world over and a wonderfully slippery beatdown to blast riff that drives the whole thing along. New drummer Alex Bent also deserves the first of many tips of the hat for providing some excellently octopus-limbed fills whilst keeping a Godzilla-stomp beat, as all good heavy metal should. It’s around this point that you might wonder whether Trivium have, quite sensibly, decided to cherrypick the best parts of their career and mash them all together, but the next two tracks – Other Worlds and Heart From Your Hate – are both the kind of Black Album -esque radio metal that they aimed for on The Crusade . This time, though, they hit the bullseye, with the latter being particularly stirring, full of Maiden-esque melodic leads and a chorus that clings onto your brain tighter than Theresa May clings on to power. Vocal hooks have always been integral to Trivium’s best moments, and one of the reasons for the success of The Sin And The Silence is having it performed by an on-form and on-fire Matt Heafy. Much of the run-up to the album focused on a return to his screamed vocals, and while it’s a thrill to hear that patented Heafy throat in full effect again, it’s worth pointing out that his clean vocals work superbly in tandem with them, particularly on the surprising and dynamic Betrayer . Each Trivium album has always had its own unique flavour, for better or worse, but The Sin And The Sentence is the first to meld every previous release into a ‘very best of Trivium’. From revisiting the modern tech metal heard on 2011’s In Waves (with an added touch of Pantera groove) in The SOFTWARE mark” ginger software uiphraseguid=“f6c8aa5d-a41e-4518-8cdd-cca943136e9c” ginger software uiphraseguid=“d6f6b30f- 0a3d-4141-8c8a-047142ce8d6e” Inside to the fact that, like Shogun , six of these 11 tracks clock in at over five minutes long, this sounds like a band determined to absorb all of their past and better it, showing once and for all who they are and what Trivium are: quite simply one of the best bands in modern metal. Trivium's track-by-track guide to The Sin And The Sentence. Trivium are releasing their eighth full-length The Sin And The Sentence on October 20, and it’s nothing short of a return to form, harking back to the heavier, more frenzied music we fell in love with on Ascendancy and In Waves . In the new issue of Metal Hammer (and on TeamRock+) we talk to frontman Matt Heafy and bassist Paolo Gregoletto about rediscovering their aggression and (more importantly) voice after Matt’s vocal surgery. To give a deeper understanding of the new record, and the band’s experiences that fed into it, we sat down with Matt and Paolo to go through The Sin And The Sentence track by track. The Sin And The Sentence. Paolo: “I was really interested in the culture online of people piling on people. I was trying to think of the culture we’re in now, but using the metaphor of the witch hunts, with the line: ‘Beware those who speaks in tongues for they may call your name’. Meaning, beware being a part of this culture, because it could be you on the receiving end of that at some point. You’re one tweet away from changing your life. Coming up with the title, The Sin And The Sentence , I had to riff, and I was on a plane, listening to it over and over and over again, and that phrase came into my head. It fit perfectly.” Beyond Oblivion. Paolo: “Corey was scrolling through his TV guide and he saw the phrase ‘Beyond Oblivion’ on a show, and wrote it down. I felt like I could make that work for a chorus, so I had to think of a theme of what that would be. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts about artificial intelligence, but they were comparing the idea of the coming technology to the atomic bomb – of how we created this incredibly immense, dangerous world- destructing thing in a moment when no one was really thinking of the implications. The song was viewing it from the perspective of someone that creates this sort of technology and comes to view it for what it is.” Other Worlds. Paolo: “The way the world’s been with all the elections, the climate, it feels like it’s ratcheted up out of nowhere over the last few years. Online, people you thought you knew well begin acting and doing things a certain way which really were uncharacteristic. And I kind of felt like that, being on Facebook. One day I woke up and I’m like, ‘Know what? Fuck this site, and fuck all these people. Why are we on here every day arguing with each other about shit?’ I was really angry so I deleted it. But it sat with me for a little bit, and that was sort of the inspiration of the song – feeling like you’re literally detached from people that you thought you know.” The Heart From Your Hate. Paolo: “I was reading up on this backstory about these Japanese American troops in World War II that had some of the most brutal battles, and meanwhile their family was in America in Japanese internment camps. The federal government rounded them up because they looked like the enemy that they were fighting. And I’m like, ‘This is insane to think about – these guys are literally dying and fighting for a country that’s locked up their families at home.’ The whole thing is, what does it take to prove you’re one of us. And that is powerful to us. If my family was locked up, I wouldn’t fight for the country, and that was really inspiring to read about those stories. But I didn’t think it would be easy to translate that, so we boiled it down further: what would it take for you not to hate someone? Would it take them dying for you, or their family dying, or being locked up? But I think the core of it is how hard it is to change people’s minds when they hate something, or when they hate someone .” Betrayer. Matt: “Paolo sent us all the song and I fell in love with it musically right away. It was the end of the tour, and I had just come out of a really bad ending of a really good friendship – someone I consider one of my really close friends, someone that I had helped in their time of need, they’ve helped me in my time of need. And I felt like I really was a good influence on this person that was addicted to bad things, doing bad things. And it completely soured when they turned their back on me and all of us, and I remember sitting on that flight and being so choked up with anger. I just put my headphones on, put the song on, and immediately started writing the lyrics. There’s a word in there, ‘creonte’. It’s a Brazilian-Portuguese word that’s passed around in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms, and it means ‘traitor’. It’s when someone was part of your gym, and they leave for an unknown reason, and join a rival gym.” The Wretchedness Inside. Matt: “It was originally ghost-written for another band, a modern metal band, and they ended up not using it for some unknown reason. Paolo helped me revamp it. It shows off our modern metal and metalcore, hardcore roots. It’s about being addicted to a bad situation, knowing it and not being willing to get out of it, but recognising it. Abusive relationships, abusive friendships, toxic addiction, something like that. When you pop out and have a moment of clarity and a moment of consciousness, and you’re like, ‘Why am I in this, this is terrible for me, I need to get out’, and you just hop back in. It’s the idea of Stockholm syndrome, something like that, in a song.” Endless Night. Matt: “I have a friend who owns a personal training company, and he asked me to score their yearly video for their trainers. I was like, ‘Oh yeah, sure. Piece of cake.’ I had been doing scoring stuff for local businesses, local real estate companies, food trucks, these little things in Orlando. So I said, ‘What do you want?’ And he said, ‘Something like Dying In Your Arms ’. Alright, that’s easy. I did this thing, sent it to him, he loved it. I showed the guys, and they were like, ‘This is really good, we should use it for Trivium.’ So again, we all reworked it together, and Paolo did all the lyrics.” Sever The Hand. Matt: “I sent it through to Paolo, and he said it had the same structure as one of the other songs. He was like, ‘Make this song structure unexpected.’ So I just rearranged it. And it’s super weird. It’s actually a combination of two songs – one song had that middle section, that was a different song, and the rest was another. It has a little bit of everything – that pre-chorus sounds like something off Ember To Inferno , the middle section to the beginning sounds like something off The Crusade . That opening riff is played like a metalcore band would, but has the high notes of a black metal band, thrash parts, punkish, – it’s everything.” Beauty In The Sorrow. Paolo: “Musically, most of the riffs in the song kind of stayed the same, but once I figured out where it was going to go lyrically, we were able to shape it a lot more. I listened to this guy, Dan Carlin; he had a podcast called Hardcore History . It was 16 hours, it was crazy, tons of episodes, all about World War I, and I was so drawn into this. I had read a book not long before, called Beauty And The Sorrow , and that was about World War I. It was about personal lives of people involved all around this huge, calamitous thing, and a lot of the stories were built through their letters. It’s different, because we never really took a subject like that and made it into a Trivium song.” The Revanchist. Paolo: “I kept seeing this word in a lot of news articles I was reading: revanchist. And describing religion and different things, describing something like a ‘real revanchist’. And it was like, what is this word? When I looked it up, the first thing that came up was a literal definition of revanchist being about the French taking back some sort of reclaimed territory they had fought or something. I guess maybe it’s used interchangeably with someone being described as a reactionary. I don’t know if I was trying to do it from the viewpoint of a person, or just the idea of the word of a revanchist – reclaiming and promising this past glory, this thing that you can reclaim, and only this person can bring it to you, and through them you’ll find this promised land and this past that I’m selling you or promising. It feels like in history, any time there’s been these points, there’s always people that are looking back to this imagined past, like it was much better at this one point. I feel like it’s very insidious; it’s a dark way to think.” Thrown Into The Fire. Matt: “Corey had written this mid-paced song initially. This is when we had pretty much all the songs done. I said, ‘We don’t need simple – the last record was simple and slow and middle-paced, let’s go full-on extreme. Think about God Dethroned, think about Vital Remains, think about Dimmu Borgir, think extreme, think blackened death metal.’ What I love about that chorus is it reminds me of a mixture of black metal, death metal, but also metalcore. It’s kind of like a breakdown, so it’s kind of like Behemoth would do in one era, but kind of like something Bury Your Dead could do too. And I’m not saying we’re thinking about those bands, but I love the fact we have all these different genres that can live inside our band.” You can read the full story on Trivium’s new album in the latest issue of Metal Hammer – on sale now.

Eight albums and nearly 20 years into their career, Florida's own Trivium have matured beyond the love/hate group that burst onto the metalcore scene with Ember to Inferno and was soon causing intense strife on metal forums with albums such as Ascendancy and The Crusade . Even their detractors (including, in aeons of yore, this reviewer) usually admit that the band have always had two clear strengths - guitar proficiency and a good ear for hooks. Granted, the two weren't always implemented well and, especially early on, the band's inability to find a sound of their own led to bandwagon-hopping. Yet slowly but surely Trivium have improved their songwriting skills to the point where earworms such as Like Light to the Flies are no longer exceptions to the rule, and in The Sin and the Sentence they've produced a very strong album. It's hard to pinpoint exactly at what point Trivium became a good band; 2008's Shogun has its fans, sure, both In Waves and Vengeance Falls were patchy but overall solid, and Silence in the Snow showed that a more poppy, entirely clean-sung approach suited the band. The Sin and the Sentence is a culmination of a process, then, helped by a variety of factors that strengthen the bottom line. For starters, Matt Heafy has become a more than decent singer having left "boat! rudder!" memes and the James Hetfield impressions far behind, mixing both harsh yells and strong, vibrant clean singing to the point where he's a commanding frontman. In addition, although past drummers have been more than capable, new sticksman Alex Bent (ex- Brain Drill , live for Testament and Decrepit Birth among others) is truly superb, from the opening title track onwards providing a technical complexity that underpins the music well, allowing the catchy melodic riffs and vocal hooks extra impact and filling the plentiful instrumental segments with fills and trills that make for a more than respectable metallic outing. It's actually quite hard to pigeonhole this in terms of genre - there are elements of thrash, but it's not thrash metal, elements of metalcore and traditional metal but not altogether those either. Overall the results are modern and unique enough to be entirely Trivium 's, from Heafy's vocals to the excellent guitar playing from him and bandmate Corey Beaulieu. Cuts like Beyond Oblivion have both metalcore intensity and heaviness as well as a lightness that translates into catchiness without turning the music into simplistic pop, hooks being as likely to be gang-shouted or snarled as much as the clean-sung chorus, and the instrumental technicality (again, particularly from the drums) makes it both interesting and enjoyable to listen to. The prevalence of widdly guitar solos shows that the band's fanhood of classic metal is translating well into their own music, and the way that each element and transition works smoothly and cleanly shows they can put the pieces together strongly rather than just writing around a chorus. Comparing this to earlier albums shows The Sin and the Sentence as downright impressive, the improvement enormous! And the way that, for instance, Other Worlds still manages to have something of an aggressive push despite the almost Killswitch Engage -esque melodic dominance makes for terrific results. The closest things present to ballads, the relatively straightforward The Heart From Your Hate and Endless Night , are dominated by vocals intermittently but soon return to the riffs in a way that may be entirely radio-friendly but is more than respectable in metal terms especially on Endless Night . Trivium push at the edges of their sound with a touch of blackened influence on Betrayer , complete with blastbeats from Alex Bent, mixing it with an almost recent- Soilwork -esque pop-progginess and a touch of classic Metallica leadwork - you may be able to see the stitchmarks, but that doesn't mean the results aren't great. And the band keep mixing things up with a variety of songs, such as the stompy downtuned The Wretchedness Inside , quity Slipknot ty with a slightly out-of-place spoken section and yelled "fuck you!" (but the widdly soloing immediately returns as if to reassure) or the modern chug of Sever the Hand , complete with two breakdowns and thrash break that all work beautifully. There's a nicely epic touch to The Revanchist 's build and chorus which helps the seven-minute length fly by, while Thrown Into the Fire is the closest yet to Soilwork territory with more of a modern melodeath feel suggesting Trivium could be expanding their sound anew. All in all, considering this is yet another near-hour-long album from the band it's remarkable how strong it is, with nothing that could be considered filler or that drags the listen down - Trivium 's best album yet, but also a genuinely great modern metal record.

The Florida-based decibel pushers continue their sonic metamorphosis from thrash-blasted metalcore to melody-driven (almost) trad-metal on Sin and the Sentence, their eighth full-length effort and first studio outing with touring drummer Alex Bent. If 2015's Silence in the Snow marked Trivium's deep dive into arena rock, then Sin and the Sentence is the free fall; a perfectly formed horned hand framed by a smoldering wall of pyrotechnics. It may have taken eight albums to get there, but the band has never sounded more confident, delivering a positively lethal 11-song set that strikes the perfect balance between unhinged and meticulously crafted. The addition of Bent, a powerhouse, hammer-of-the-gods-style kit man, and the newfound conviction of vocalist Matt Heafy, seem to have put a charge into the group. The riffage is meaner and leaner, and the songs themselves -- especially the singles "Heart from Your Hate" and the combustible title track -- feel both lived-in and visceral, with highlights arriving via the serpentine, gang-vocal-led "Beyond Oblivion" and the throat-mangling closer "Thrown Into the Fire." Produced with significant sonic heft by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, All That Remains), Sin and the Sentence is the perfect distillation of Trivium's myriad attempts at bending the genre to their will. It's vintage Metallica by way of System of a Down, with enough Maiden-esque melodies percolating underneath to please even the most ardent old-school headbanger, but what's most impressive is that, despite all of the obvious influences, it finally sounds like them. The band's detractors jumped ship years ago, but for those who have stuck around for the long haul, Sin and the Sentence is here to pay some dividends.
