Roadrunner Records Canada recently issued the following:

Florida metal titans Trivium, who have sold well over half a million records worldwide since 2005, are proud to announce the release of Shogun, their third album for Roadrunner Records. Shogun will be released on September 30th.

Critics and metalheads worldwide took notice when Trivium crashed the metal world in 2005, with the release of the Ascendancy album, landing them multiple magazine covers across the globe in less than a year and picking up "Best New Band" accolades almost everywhere they played. Intent on not delivering a 'part two' with their follow-up record, 2006's The Crusade took a slightly different direction, with cleaner singing and more varied influences. It retained their stunning signature guitar work and led to some enviable touring opportunities with bands such as METALLICA and IRON MAIDEN.

Trivium have changed it up yet again on Shogun, choosing not to record in the familiar environs of their home state of Florida. Instead the band headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work with producer Nick Raskulinecz (RUSH, FOO FIGHTERS, STONE SOUR).

The result is a monolithic album that crystallizes the band's sound and showcases Trivium's finest elements.

Vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy is thrilled with the album, saying, "We made a cohesive, epic metal album that combines all of the ingredients of everything we feel we have ever done 'right' musically, while adding a new direction that the music called for. We had so much fun creating this album and hope our fans feel that energy when they listen."

Even SLAYER's Kerry King, an undisputed heavy metal god, expressed excitement about touring with the band this fall on the Unholy Alliance: Chapter 3 European tour. He commented to the UK's Total Guitar magazine, "I'll be at the side of the stage watching them. Great players like that make us want to do better."

Looks like the metal community is waiting with baited breath for Shogun.
