Oct 4 Trivium Release New Song and Music Video, "The Phalanx"

In advance of the release of their new album In The Court of the Dragon, Trivium have unveiled a brand new song and music video, titled “The Phalanx”.

For the music video, the band partnered with Elder Scrolls Online. The video premiered on #GatesOfOblivion Year-End Stream on Bethesda Games' Twitch channel.

In a press release announcing the new song and video, bassist Paolo Gregoletto stated:

"'The Phalanx' was like an old muscle car sitting in the driveway with no engine. It was a demo from Shogun that had the middle section removed for another song ('Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis'), demoed again on Silence in the Snow but ultimately scrapped, and now it has found its home on the new album. Once we knew the album was going in a more epic, proggy direction, I immediately thought of the song and pitched the idea to the others. With a few minor changes to some chorus parts, a brand middle section, and the orchestrations from Ihsahn, 'The Phalanx' was reborn. It's got a lot of new and old riffs and I think you should dig this if you liked Shogun.”
