Inspired by the God Of War series, TRIVIUM's 'Shattering The Skies Above' appears on the new soundtrack to God Of War III – God Of War: Blood & Metal.

The band check in with the following update:

"Your feedback for the blistering new Trivium track 'Shattering The Skies Above' has been so great that we want to share a three part video series documenting the making of the track!

behind-the-scenes look at The Making Of 'Shattering The Skies Above'!!

For the time being, here's a sneak peek."

Check out a video for the song below.

Trivium’s singer, Matt Heafy, notes: “When we were initially asked to write an original song for the game, we were slightly perplexed since we’ve never actually written a track for something other than a Trivium record, but we answered the call as we are fans of the game. Writing the song was a fun experience. We started piecing riffs together on tour and then we really put time into the song when we got home and had the chance to go into the practice space to work on our ideas as a group. This new song captures a certain energy we've been trying to harness on record as well, as it will show all our fans worldwide where Trivium is heading musically in the future.”

The soundtrack to the third part of the award winning God Of War video game series was released by Roadrunner on March 2nd.
