GRAMMY-nominated metal juggernauts Trivium have announced their brand new EP Struck Dead, due out October 31, 2025, via Roadrunner Records. The EP features three new tracks that blend the band's signature razor-sharp riffs, searing solos, and dual-vocal dynamics into a blistering new statement.
Recorded at The Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida — a space owned and recently renovated by the band — the EP was self-produced with longtime Trivium collaborator Mark Lewis, and mixed/mastered by Josh Wilbur. The first single, "Bury Me With My Screams," premiered on Trivium frontman Matt Heafy's Chaos Hour show on Sirius XM Liquid Metal, and arrives today with a full-throttle official music video.
Bassist Paolo Gregoletto shared insight into the creation of the EP: "In 2023, we decided it was finally time to take the next step with The Hangar space we purchased — it was time to turn it into a full studio. We brought in designer Roger D'Arcy, thanks to an introduction from Mark Lewis, and set out on a year-long build. While construction was underway, we were deep in rehearsals for The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour, celebrating Ascendancy's 20th anniversary. What started as an idea to release one single during the tour quickly grew into two, then three, as we kept writing while we were waiting for the build-out to be completed."
He continued: "During that time, the energy of revisiting Ascendancy started bleeding into these new songs. Matt poured a lot of his personal struggles from the past year into the music, and we used the writing process as a cathartic release. Those sessions evolved into a three-song EP that we're incredibly proud of, and we can't wait to debut 'Bury Me With My Screams' live at Bloodstock Open Air Festival."
Trivium recently announced a North American tour for later this year (pretty much the entirety of Q3) with Jinjer and Heriot as support. Get your tickets here.
"We couldn't be more excited to finally bring this monstrous tour to life — Trivium headlining this fall across North America with the unstoppable force of Jinjer and the crushing energy of Heriot," said.
"Every night is going to be an absolute onslaught of riffs, sweat, and connection with our fans. This lineup represents the present and future of heavy music, and we're honored to share the stage with such ferocious talent. See you in the pit."
