What the Dead


Men Say


Trivium


The Orlando heavy metallers have attracted
widespread critical acclaim for their ninth
studio album, after a change in approach that
saw bassist and clean backing vocalist Paolo
Gregoletto handle many of the lyrics and
much of the music. Traditionally, the band’s
material was largely written by guitarist and
lead vocalist Matt Heafy.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Trivium was formed in Florida in 1999.

  2. The band’s present recording members
    are Heafy, Gregoletto, guitarist and unclean
    backing vocalist Corey Beaulieu, and
    drummer Alex Bent.

  3. The song “Betrayer” earned the group a
    Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal
    Performance in 2019.

  4. The album’s title track was inspired by
    Philip K. Dick’s science fiction novella of
    the same name.

  5. Heafy has said of the album’s sound: “We’ve
    found a really great place to exist in this
    world. We love melodic death metal, we love
    death and black metal, and we love hardcore.
    What the Dead Men Say is everything we
    do on one record.”
