Trivium have released their three-song EP ‘STRUCK DEAD’, out now via Roadrunner Records, alongside a video for the title track. The EP was created after the band built their own studio at The Hangar, giving them space to work freely and independently. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto says, “In August 2023, we set out to design and build our own studio at The Hangar – a place to create freely, on our own terms.” The release captures a focused burst of energy shaped by intention and control.
The creative spark came from revisiting the band’s past while looking ahead. “Born from months of revisiting and performing Ascendancy in full, this EP channels that familiar power and spirit while pushing into new territory,” Gregoletto explains. “We feel that Struck Dead stands as the first step into a bold new era for us.” Produced by Trivium, recorded with Mark Lewis at Hangar Studios, and mixed and mastered by Josh Wilbur, the EP delivers a concise yet forceful statement driven by riff-heavy precision and dual-style vocals.
