Trivium recording new album in October

Trivium will enter Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida during the third week of October to begin recording their new album.

The band has teamed up with the production/mixing team of Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot, Fear Factory) and Martin "Ginge" Ford for the new album which is expected to be released in early 2011 via Roadrunner records.

The album will feature new drummer Nick Augusto, who replaced former Trivium drummer Travis Smith after he was sacked via a phone call from vocalist Matt Heafy.

In an interview with WMHB 89.7 FM metal radio show "Metal Mutilation", Trivium guitarist Corey Beaulieu commented on how Augusto has influenced the band’s new material:

"I think he fits more of our writing style, 'cause we play a lot of fast, heavier stuff and his drumming is kind of really on the heavier, aggressive side, so, really, just writing the Trivium songs we [normally] do it, his drumming style adds a lot of energy and intensity to the music — he adds a lot of really cool, creative stuff that makes it really interesting and brings the music to the next level. And just working with him, everything is moving pretty fast. He's like a sponge, like the rest of us — he can grasp new songs really fast. If we have a new song, we can start jamming it really quick and kind of move forward and get to the point where we can just focus on the details of the song instead of just trying to get the song down in the first place. It's really helping propel the songwriting to another level where we can move along quicker and get a lot more work done in a shorter amount of time.

"When people actually get a chance to hear the record, I think they'll be pretty impressed with what's going on, 'cause he's doing some really cool stuff and adding a new flavor to what we do and giving it a new twist. Compared to the last couple of records, the intensity and the energy has really gone up a lot."

Trivium’s last album was 2008’s,Shogun.
