Triuvium - "We're Really Making Our Own Stuff And Our Own Kind Of Music And Art Form"

Trivum frontman Matt Heafy has just posted the following message:
"For the first time, we can't look at our songs and say who the riffs sound like," guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy told Revolver magazine about the group's new material. "We're really making our own stuff and our own kind of music and art form, and that's exciting."
TRIVIUM reportedly wrote around 40 songs last year and demoed the best 15 or so before commencing the new LP recording sessions. "When we went in, we thought, 'Hey, these songs are good enogh for the album already,' but we've overhauled almost everything," Heafy told Revolver. "Nick has encouraged us to explore so many new ideas that we never would have thought of."
In a previous interview with Revolver, TRIVIUM guitarist Corey Beaulieu stated about the upcoming CD, "We want to capture the best ingredients of everything we've done. Each song has a little bit of everything, going between something heavy and then melodic, and then back to something heavy. So it has a really interesting balance. On 'The Crusade', Matt did almost all singing, so this time we're bringing back some of the screaming that's on [2005's] 'Ascendancy'."
As previously reported, TRIVIUM will join metal legends IRON MAIDEN as "special guest" for one show on Saturday, June 14 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey.
Commented Heafy: "TRIVIUM is honored to again be asked to play a show with IRON MAIDEN. We supported them for a full European tour in 2006 and it was one of the best touring experiences we've ever had as a band. MAIDEN are absolute legends and we hoped one day we would have another chance to share a stage with them. When they called us for this special show we couldn't say yes fast enough. We'll just be getting out of the studio and won't even be touring yet but we're going to enjoy the show and then have the opportunity to watch MAIDEN do what they do best — kick ass on stage."
