TRIVIUM bassist Paulo Gregoletto checks in with the following update:

"Thank you to everyone that came out to see us on the Family Values Tour or at an off date show, we really appreciate it and hoped that you enjoyed the summer as much as we did!

It seems our quick vacation is coming to an end this week, starting Monday we hit the studio to do some demos and rehearse for the rest of this year's touring. It's been quite awhile since we had more than a few days to jam because we usually just jump from one tour right into another. I am sure we will be getting pictures up on all the sites, especially www.triviumworld.com, of us working on the new stuff and rehearsing our set for the highly anticipated Black Crusade!

But before the first Black Crusade show kicks off in Perth, we are stopping through Japan for Loud Park 2007 and a few shows with HEAVEN AND HELL, as well our own headline show in Osaka. We can't wait to enjoy the food, culture and of course the shows once again. This will be our third trip over to Japan, and it looks to be the biggest and best tour there yet!

After that we take a quick 10 hour trip down to our Aussie fans to join up with MACHINE HEAD and ARCH ENEMY for what is sure to be a legendary tour!!! Australia has been amazing to Trivium, so we knew we needed to return one last time before we finished the touring cycle. We are happy to be able to kick off the Black Crusade down under!

Fast forward a few weeks and we have reached the home stretch of touring for The Crusade in what is shaping up to be a great end of the year with the Black Crusade going across the UK and Europe! This will be the last time you will see us for some time since we will be starting the new album in early 2008. Thanks for all the support you give us, we can never thank you enough!! Bring on the Black Crusade!"
