Trivium have been busy in the studio and have now delivered a first major taste for fans. After all, they're heading out on their highly anticipated North America tour with In Flames in November – so it seems there will be at least one new track on the setlist by then. The new single “Dead Inside Of Me” was dropped alongside a music video and brings us a really catchy crossover of heavy riffs and – as bassist Paolo Gregoletto puts it – stadium rock, inspired by the contrast of the Japanese concepts of honne and tatemae:
"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. 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.
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."
