Trivium have released a music video for their new single The Phalanx, taken from their forthcoming tenth album In The Court Of The Dragon.
“‘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’,” comments bassist Paolo Gregoletto.
Check out the video below.
