TRIVIUM Releases New Single 'Dead Inside Of Me'

Grammy-nominated heavyweights TRIVIUM — vocalist/guitarist Matthew K. Heafy; guitarist Corey Beaulieu; bassist Paolo Gregoletto; and drummer Alex Rüdinger — are ushering in their newest and most ferocious era with the new single "Dead Inside Of Me".

"Dead Inside Of Me" serves as the first new music from the band's forthcoming eleventh studio album and the follow up to 2021's "In The Court Of The Dragon". More details about the upcoming release will be shared soon.

But for now, diehards can feast on "Dead Inside Of Me", which finds the Florida quartet at its very best. The song is powered by modern thrash riffs, deep, guitar-forward power grooves, battering ram rhythms, and masterful melodies. And this is TRIVIUM — so of course they don't skimp on the solos.

The official video for "Dead Inside Of Me", directed by Pavel Trebukhin, can be seen below. It's a creepy journey into the darkest depths to which the human psyche can plummet.

"'Dead Inside Of Me' was a song that came together at the end of a long day of writing new music last summer. It started with a riff I'd had kicking around for five or six years called 'Slam', looping over a simple groove," explains Gregoletto. "A lot of the most fun song ideas come from blending two contrasting ideas together. Take a death metal riff and play it like a stadium rock song. Let the screaming and singing weave together until they feel like one voice. Being able to explain the idea that simply as the song was coming together helped keep us laser-focused and on track to see the vision through to the end."

He finishes, "The song was loosely inspired by the Japanese concept of honne and tatemae — the tension between your true inner feelings and the mask you present to the outside world to hide them."

TRIVIUM will hit the road on November 5 in St. Petersburg, Florida and run through December 19 in Charlotte, North Carolina for a North American headline run with IN FLAMES, ORBIT CULTURE, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY and FROZEN SOUL in tow. It is a truly stacked lineup that cannot and should not be missed.

"This fall's TRIVIUM tour is a huge one for us," the band declared upon announcing the tour earlier this year. "The lineup is stacked from top to bottom, and we're honored to have special guests IN FLAMES, who not only influenced our early years but continue to prove time and again why they're one of the greatest metal bands of all time. With ORBIT CULTURE, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY and FROZEN SOUL rounding out the bill, we can't wait to get out there, kick off this next era of TRIVIUM with Rudi behind the kit, and give you a taste of the new music we've been working on. We'll see you soon!"

TRIVIUM's critically acclaimed tenth album "In The Court Of The Dragon" arrived in 2021. The band and album were praised by and featured in mainstream outlets like The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Billboard, TechCrunch and Kotaku, as well as Guitar World, Revolver, Alternative Press and more. They released the now-canonical album "Ascendancy" in 2005. It was recognized as Kerrang!'s "Album Of The Year", achieved a gold certification in the U.K. and eclipsed sales of 500,000 worldwide. Metal Hammer placed it in the Top 15 of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums Of The 21st Century". It ignited a string of six consecutive Top 25 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and five straight Top 3 debuts on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, culminating on 2017's benchmark "The Sin And The Sentence". That album elevated the group's total stream tally past a quarter-of-a-billion. Additionally, "Betrayer" received a Grammy Award nomination in the category of "Best Metal Performance". Unanimous acclaim followed from Decibel, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, MetalSucks and Metal Hammer, who dubbed them, "quite simply one of the best bands in modern metal." 2020 brought "What The Dead Men Say". The album was produced by TRIVIUM and Josh Wilbur and debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard Top 200; at No. 2 on the Top Current Albums chart, and at No. 3 on both the Hard Rock Albums chart and Top Rock Albums chart. They have performed alongside METALLICA, BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN and many others and graced the main stages of Download, Bloodstock, Knotfest and beyond. TRIVIUM issued the "Struck Dead" EP in fall 2025.
