Trivium: 'Kirisute Gomen' Online

"Kirisute Gomen", the first track from Trivium's new album "Shogun", will be available for 24 hours as an MP3 download from all Roadrunner and Trivium web sites from Thursday, July 31 at midnight EST (5:00 a.m. UK time).

The download precedes two upcoming single releases. August 11 will see the digital release of "Into The Mouth Of Hell We March", which is also featured on the "Madden NFL 09" soundtrack, and September 1 sees the digital release of "Down From The Sky".

Trivium last week shot a video for "Down From The Sky" with director Ramon Boutviseth. Guitarist Corey Beaulieu told UK's Rock Sound magazine, "We want to make a video that will crush every single music video we have ever made. We want this video to capture our energy and establish us as a bunch of hot, tanned guys from Florida with baby arms in our pants."

According to MTV, Boutviseth got his big break when he won Papa Roach's "Make Your Own 'Forever' Video" contest in June 2007. While the Roach had already shot their own performance video, they were so taken by his submission they asked him to mix the live footage with his original storyline. Boutviseth has also shot videos for Trivium's "Becoming The Dragon", Sanctity's "Beneath The Machine" and "Beloved Killer", Seemless' "Cast No Shadow" and Daylight Dies' "Lies That Bind".

The third webisode featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the new Trivium album, "Shogun", can be viewed here.

Trivium tapped Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Machine Head, Fear Factory, Bullet For My Valentine, Napalm Death) to mix "Shogun", which is scheduled for release on September 30 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was mixed in London, with Jeff Rose and Martin "Ginge" Ford assisting on engineering duties.

"Shogun" track listing:

01. Kirisute Gomen
02. Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis
03. Down From The Sky
04. Insurrection
05. Into The Mouth Of Hell We March
06. Throes Of Perdition
07. He Who Spawned the Furies
08. Of Prometheus And The Crucifix
09. The Calamity
10. Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven
11. Shogun

Trivium reportedly wrote around 40 songs last year and demoed the best 15 or so before commencing the new LP recording sessions. "When we went in, we thought, 'Hey, these songs are good enogh for the album already,' but we've overhauled almost everything," Heafy told Revolver magazine. "Nick has encouraged us to explore so many new ideas that we never would have thought of."

In a previous interview with Revolver, guitarist Corey Beaulieu stated about the upcoming CD, "We want to capture the best ingredients of everything we've done. Each song has a little bit of everything, going between something heavy and then melodic, and then back to something heavy. So it has a really interesting balance. On 'The Crusade', Matt did almost all singing, so this time we're bringing back some of the screaming that's on [2005's] 'Ascendancy'."

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

However his voice is still trying to sound like Metallica maybe next album it will be gone?

[Mr Lordi]

Hm...here's the thing.

If you don't like a band, that's perfectly fine. Perhaps you don't care for an album or two, whatever, that's cool. But automatically deciding to pass something by that you may actually like because it's a certain band, without even hearing it, makes you look like a total jackass, in my opinion.

His screams are better than his singing. Will be interested to see how this goes.

Its on Kerrang magazine's recently released "Maiden Heaven" compilation.

It'll also be on the Special Edition of Shogun.

[Darth_Qurashi]

lol, he wants to establish them as hot tanned guys from florida with baby arms in their pants lmao. Can't wait till midnight i guess. Im so excited!

[tommyt]

"We want to make a video that will crush every single music video we have ever made. We want this video to capture our energy and establish us as a bunch of hot, tanned guys from Florida with baby arms in our pants."

good to know they've got the music in the forefront of their minds then ....

[ross1234]

can't wait to hear it..i too loved their maiden cover so this should be good

[Guitar_Dan_666]

Can't wait for this.

Hopefully we will get some Ascendancy styled songs.

[Guitar Sushi]

I really liked Trivium when I first saw their album art and heard their music, but when I saw Heafy in some interviews. I started to dislike the band just because of the frontman.

I like their music, but Heafy is just... he comes across as kinda stubborn and "know-it-all" type of guy. He seems to take everything way to seriously. Unlike Corey who I really take a liking to. He's the kinda "hey man, let's shred" kinda guy that you just cant really dislike. I also think the fact that Heafy is trying to make the album all japanese when he's bloody american really.

And then he's adding Greek gods to his japanese album!? Kind of silly I think, but I'll always dig Trivium's music. It's kind of a step up from all the other Metalcore. Actually Trivium's the only Metalcore band I think are good. It's just kinda different. Maybe it's heafy's scream (which isn't actually that bad, but he should try some growls).

[trivium166]

best album ever already

[Amito]

cannot wait!

This just in: Trivium are paedophiles.
Cool artwork btw.

Kirisute Gomen literally means "you're sword fodder", but has a conventional meaning of "I'll do what i want"

heafy is half japanese u cock, and japanese mythology is pretty damn deep and interesting, better than most of the generic crap that modern metal bands put into their lyrics. I also wouldn't really describe trivium as metal-core either. I think they're pretty much te most 'metal' mainstream kinda band out there.

Hammerzeit wrote:

Kirisute Gomen means = “authorisation to cut” or “authorisation to leave” (the body of the victim)look on wikipedia

and the song comes out at 12.01 a.m in the UK not 5 a.m look on triviums website!

anyway lookin forward 2 it!

[169290]

Kiri sute gomen (斬り捨て御免 or 切り捨て御免: literally, “authorisation to cut” or “authorisation to leave” (the body of the victim) is an old Japanese expression dating back to the feudal era right to execute and be excused. Samurai had the right to strike at anyone of a lower class who was compromising their honour.

The expression is still sometimes used in modern day as "I apologise in advance for this one" for the subtle humour in offering what amounts to a unsympathetic apology.

[guitarandbmx]

Are you guys sure its 5am today and not the day after? Because it says at midnight on the 31st, and today is only the 30th..

I agree with you, especially about Corey's attitude to the music, its really healthy, but I dont think Matts quite as bad as you make out, he's pretty cool too. P.S Cant wait for the new album, if its anything like Ascendancy and The Crusade its gonna in the words of Paulo Gregoletto "Kick People's asses in the face" lol

[Ekofu]

'06. Throes Of Perdition'

5 bucks says none of them even knew the word Perdition until Opeth released GHOST of Perdition.

[useyourillusíon]

Sweet, I'll have to download this when i wake up tomorrow

[roosterfx1]

"Like callisto to a star in heaven". jeez i wonder how thats gonna fit in the chorus.
what is it with trivium and over the top song names? its not only on this albums i mean there old stuff had ridiculous titles too, like "A Gunshot to the head of trepidation", "drowned and torn asunder", "contempt breeds contamination"

Should be good, i'm looking forward to it, although as said before the lead singer could tone down his attitude.

[EndOfNothing656]

I will like this if its not the ****in metallica cover shit theyve been doin. Flame me all you want for thinking that but come on, how is it not trying to sound like metallica... Im only talking about vocals btw, not the music the music still kicks ass

It's so obvious when people are'nt familiar with the word when they accuse Trivium of ripping it off of Opeth, when it's just a word.

Checked.

[_A.D.I.D.A.S._]

Yay more free music!

[the boogieman]

if they werent trying to emulate metallica so hard and if matt heafy wasnt so annoying i'd totally give this album a genuine listen through

[DaveGilmour1189]

sounds good so far. The "screams" sound less....screamo than before which i like.

And the track heafy is referencing on the whole human capo thing is Paul Gilbert's get out of my yard.

[zakkwyldefan79]

Why does everyone think it's a sin for a metal band to have a singer that can sing. Screaming sucks. Matt is just singing his own way and to me he sounds like a mix of various singers that actually sing. He doesn't sound exactly like James Hetfield. Similar yes but that's not a bad thing. I liked The Crusade and I think it's the best they've done so far.

It makes me feel good that Matt is a fan of Paul(If he is...Dun Dunn Dunnn!) I'm really looking forward to this album as much as Slipknot's new album.

I loved Ascenancy and The Crusade
(They have two totally different atmopheres about them, which I think is awesome for a band to explore different depths of their sounds)

This should be afreakingmazing if they say those two sucked

are you ****ing serious? that sound NOTHING like james hetfield

[johnyfacemelter]

the new song will melt your face into your own balls

[Detonation]

The new song is amazing!!!!! Vocals are great!

[johnyfacemelter]

also, trivium and all that remains will be touring together, im sorry i just splooged onto all of you

[MustaineMenza]

it's pretty epic. A tad bit long. The chorus could be toned down a bit so it is less mainstream and catchy. I'm hoping the rest of the album will be as thought provoking and intricate as this song. 8/10

[Reiatsu]

I think I just got my ass kicked right in my face X_X

INSANELY EPIC can't wait for the single and the full album to come out!

When I first got the song and looked at the length of 6:43 for the first song I knew I was looking a true metal album. (not saying length is all there is to a good metal album, but it definitely helps \m/, )

Well, that was good.

Solo seemed a bit gratuitous though.

[Metonyx]

Wow Trivium is basically Metallica with nonsense lyrics and loud, unecessary, and totally random screaming.

This song is much better than say, Ascendancy, though. But seriously, do any of their songs make ANY sense at all? Whatever, they have a good beat.

[Brad_Bassist]

Yeah I agree with Metonyx, I just downloaded it and that's what I thought too.

So stop accusing them of trying to be like Metallica, it's not his fault he sings like that.

I wonder what he'll call it though. Heafyism (sponsored by Dean) perhaps.

I prefer the instrumental style of ascendancy to both the crusade and this, though I like the mixed vocal style. Some good things about the song but there are bits that I don't really like, interested to see how the rest of the album turns out

[strat07]

THE SONG IS SICK!

[uk.mace]

This is ****ing awesome!!!! Much better than I ever could have expected. Hopefully this is a sign of what the rest of the album will be like.
Oh and I definately got my ass kicked right in the face

[dupaman]

i heard the new song on their myspace - it is fuCkin AWESOME!!!

also, they're nothing like metallica, in my opinion, their heavyer, and better (compared with metallica's new stuff)

people who think trivium are just trying to be metallica obviously havent even listened to em and are just making assumptions

Who cares what he is, if they want to write about Japanese and Greek mythology, then why shouldn't they?

I doubt you will pay that much attention to the lyrics anyway, and some people may learn something from it. I can only see that as a good thing.

[JD Blue Venom]

can people just enjoy triviums music? who gives a flying **** if its greek or japanese mythology, its better than listening to the same old anti-christ stuff u would expect

and for all the haters do you really think trivium sat in the studio thinking: ''hmmm we better make this record so a bunch of geeks on the internet dont bitch about us!''

[stueey]

this traack is acatully ****in AWESOME!!!!!
It reflects acendency quite a bit, and the album after that, not that i like to even mention its name. sounds ****in quality tho!

[IROn 5L1nKY]

ON the first listen through I thought "Well, it certainly kicked my ass right in the face moreso than a lot of metal, but I hope the rest of the album is an improvement". And I guess that's always the way it's been with Trivium, the first Ember to Inferno songs weren't as good as the later and the same with the Crusade and more or less Ascendancy (in my opinion). But after listening through it several times I've really warmed up to their style of musical expression this time around and am really psyched. Hopefully the screaming isn't all that dominant.

In reply to others above:
I completely agree with the depth comment about Ascendancy and Crusade.
Matt Heafy does not really sound very much at all like James Hetfield.
Trivium can call their songs whatever they so please.
Trivium can sing about whatever they want in the songs that they named whatever they wanted to.
Trivium's lyrics do make sense, but they take some thinking about and even then, a lot of them are really cryptic and such. Somewhat hard to decipher, even after many playthroughs.

And as a last comment: their Maiden tribute was fantastic, a true winner in my thinking. That album was a dream come true for me as my four favorite bands for several years now have been Iron Maiden, Trivium, Metallica, and Dream Theater. Everything right in one tight package!
(Can't wait for the Tablature for this song as it's a little too difficult for me to figure out some of the chord lines and especially the solo)

[geetar_man0]

wow wow WOW.....this song is amazing!

i thought it was good when i listened to it the first time.....but i think this one takes a few listens.....cause now its amazing.....they really stepped up....and i absouloutley loved all of their music before this.....so they steped up from being amazing
lol
i like the singing especially...the mix of singing and screaming

awesome!

[Amito]

song is pretty good, so glad they brought the screaming back, am hopeful about the album

[newbie08]

Sweet, i like it a lot.

[Richie_H]

Despite them bringing the screaming back, I didn't particularly like it. I left Trivium behind a long time ago and listened to see if it would get me back into them. It didn't.

[169290]

i got a tab waiting 2 be accepted! its only up 2 the verse but still i think it will be a few days until the rest its figured out

as 4 the song ****in sick!

[WaitWhat?]

Pretty decent, i don't think i'll ever be able to get used to matts singing though but at least coreys doing a lot more vocals.

Corey has stated he'll take over the screaming.

[death_obeyer]

is there only me who wants another ascendancy...
i thought the crusade sucked major balls compared to it...cause, to be totally honest, in my opinion, heafy cant sing, but he can scream really really well
and, i need confirmation on this, but i swear i read an interview somewhere and matt said he wanted to do something that metallica would be proud of, then on one of the videos on their website, corey states they want to do something no band has ever done before
like i said, confirmation needed there
but im not slating them as a band, im slating the way there music is going
bring back old trivium
and has anyone else noticed a slight hint of the nomad - iron maiden on that intro distorted bit...maybe its just me...ill shut up now...

By vocals I meant screaming, which Coery is doing a lot more of.

[evil_armada]

mythology in metal = corny, lame and makes me cringe
Matt Heafy's scream = lame and makes me laugh
Matt Heafy = lame from what i've seen
trivium = good musicians with moments of good stuff

if Matt heafy was not in this band id give it a fair listen. call me whatever you want

I don't like Trivium but this sounds pretty awesome.

How can you stop a song with after the line "they've already died inside, but as for the outside i'll take their ****ing heads" AND F-IN GO ON AFTER THAT with a highly clichéd bridge like that????

Apart from this mayor mistake, nice song!

[Warchest]

Awesome song.

is there only me who wants another ascendancy...
i thought the crusade sucked major balls compared to it...cause, to be totally honest, in my opinion, heafy cant sing, but he can scream really really well
and, i need confirmation on this, but i swear i read an interview somewhere and matt said he wanted to do something that metallica would be proud of, then on one of the videos on their website, corey states they want to do something no band has ever done before
like i said, confirmation needed there
but im not slating them as a band, im slating the way there music is going
bring back old trivium
and has anyone else noticed a slight hint of the nomad - iron maiden on that intro distorted bit...maybe its just me...ill shut up now...

lol if there was iron maiden sounding music in there it got slurred into the abyss of lameness, i thought the whole song was dull (seemed to lack any memorable moments), lacked any inspiration to myself and screaming sounded forced like an old man on his death bed grasping for air and although that scenario sounded metal trivium is not.

checked

I will like this if its not the ****in metallica cover shit theyve been doin. Flame me all you want for thinking that but come on, how is it not trying to sound like metallica... Im only talking about vocals btw, not the music the music still kicks ass

how many people in metal dont wanna sound like metallica, especially their older stuff?

[Alexdawsome]

Great song love it.

whats making me mad though is that i tried tabbing it and i got so far as to when the vocals start and i discovered there using a 7 string guitar for this song.

arrrrg if i onli my guitar had that one more string!

brilliant song anyway im guna download it now.

[fluffylump2]

well this song sucks.

[IRONMAIDENTLICA]

wow i was quite impressed with the song...very well done i thought, good job of mixing his clean voice (like on the crusade) with the screamin stuff.....i like it

Matt Heafy = lame from what i've seen
trivium = good musicians with moments of good stuff

if Matt heafy was not in this band id give it a fair listen. call me whatever you want

how is that mythology? Samurais really did exist back in the day in japan. he's showing us the history of his japanese roots, like he did with "becoming the dragon" on the crusade...

way to think that one through dude...

Isn't that the whole point of metalcore? They did plenty of that on Ascendancy and it was good. That first cut into the chorus is real bad though. it doesn't sit well at all.

Additionally, in their little studio vids for Shogun they always seem to be playin 7's. And this song is on 7's. Is this gonna be an all 7 string album? anyone know? If so, I'm buying a seven string!

[123-Trav]

^and just to clarify, I was talking musically.

If it was the lyrics you thought cliche, those lyrics are the kirisute gomen part. kirisute gomen meaning 'i will do as i want' or something like that. so they're not just meaningless pop chorus lyrics (though it may sound like it :P).

[RazorbackDevil]

yay free music

[The Virtuoso]

This article reeks of copious amounts of fail. I liked the song, Matt's singing has definitely improved in my opinion; looking forward to the album.

The album involves Greek Mythology. Get your facts straight.

Despite them bringing the screaming back, I didn't particularly like it. I left Trivium behind a long time ago and listened to see if it would get me back into them. It didn't.

Yeah same. That song felt a lot like a crusade song to me, with a little screaming. Actually the song was really nothing special. Trivium's standards have really dropped if this is what the rest of the album is going to soundlike. I think they'll be ok though. They gained a lot of popularity by doing the Crusade. Those will be the fans of this album. The fans of Ascendancy and Embe r to Inferno will probably take this as the ultimate gaurantee the old Trivium is gone.

Pretty decent, i don't think i'll ever be able to get used to matts singing though but at least coreys doing a lot more vocals.thats not Corey, thats Matt doing all the Vocals

Corey has stated he'll take over the screaming.

Matt will do screaming live and lead screams on old shit.

No. I really like the lyrics. I was talking about the stupid "we-need-some-melody-at-all-cost"-bridge/chorus/whateveryouw annacallit

erm, been a fan since the start... and, if you can't hear the ascendancy side to this song, you REALLY didn't listen to that album much.

unlucky man.

EDIT: ITMOH is kinda the same style as blindin tears will break the skies, but with more singing as opposed to screaming. however it sounds extremely good and fans of ascendancy will definately like this song when it is released.

[madman]

where did u get into the mouth of hell from??, i cant find it anywhere...plz let me know... by the way this album will be 1 of the best this yr.

I really liked Trivium when I first saw their album art and heard their music, but when I saw Heafy in some interviews. I started to dislike the band just because of the frontman.

I like their music, but Heafy is just... he comes across as kinda stubborn and "know-it-all" type of guy. He seems to take everything way to seriously. Unlike Corey who I really take a liking to. He's the kinda "hey man, let's shred" kinda guy that you just cant really dislike. I also think the fact that Heafy is trying to make the album all japanese when he's bloody american really.

And then he's adding Greek gods to his japanese album!? Kind of silly I think, but I'll always dig Trivium's music. It's kind of a step up from all the other Metalcore. Actually Trivium's the only Metalcore band I think are good. It's just kinda different. Maybe it's heafy's scream (which isn't actually that bad, but he should try some growls).

heafy was born in japan you douche...
