Trivium Unearth a New Crown

2026-10-09 by John Marinakis CONTRIBUTOR | 19 Comments
Trivium have announced their eleventh studio album, Crown in the Grave, due November 20 through Roadrunner Records.

Their first full-length since 2021’s In the Court of the Dragon follows last year’s Struck Dead EP and introduces drummer Alex Rüdinger. Recorded at the band’s own Hangar studio in Orlando, the album was produced by Josh Wilbur and mixed by Jacob Hansen.

The announcement arrives alongside the title track, following September’s Dead Inside of Me. Its Pavel Trebukhin-directed video draws on Japanese Noh theater and places the musicians in a post-apocalyptic dojo.

Bassist Paolo Gregoletto explained that Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood helped shape the record’s themes. Japanese horror and cinema from the 1950s through the 1970s subsequently informed its music, lyrics and visual identity.

The tracklist is:

1. Jorōgumo
2. Crown in the Grave
3. Dead Inside of Me
4. The Terror
5. The Haunting Never Ends
6. Lie of It All
7. Blackout the Dawn
8. Paradise of Sinners
9. Death Throes
10. The Agony
11. Devour Your Dreams
12. Serpent in the Flame

does this still count as metalcore or are we ready to be honest and say it's just heavy metal

^ Why was I always under the impression that Trivium are a black metal band?

Seen them a couple times as openers but never really hit with me. Cool they're still at it though

I liked it, a bit generic but not bad for a single.

Cheesy video, but 10/10 Matt Heafy abs.

This is like the metal version of butt-rock so I guess I'd classify it as butt-metal.

Not what I was expecting them to sound like after the last LP they put out. Not bad, but I thought they would have continued moving forward with the style they've been at since the sin and sentence

This band seems like the Platonic ideal of "not bad"

well before they had the presumption of some extreme metal stuff going on but now it's just chorus-oriented and doesn't have anything extreme going on so it's bad

I mean, a metal band that writes choruses like "Silence in the snooo-ohh-ohh-ooow" in a non cheeky, self-ironic or maybe Queen-esque way, but with a serious stank face attitude should just never see daylight again.

No way, trivium finally paying homage to their love of Japanese culture!
