Metal powerhouse Trivium have confirmed the October 31st arrival of their new EP, Struck Dead. The three-track, self-produced effort was recorded with Mark Lewis at Trivium's Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida.The final mix and mastering was handled by Josh Wilbur.

The arrival of the Struck Dead EP signals the beginning of the band's latest iteration, one that fully explores the capabilities of the band's own headquarters in their howetown. The band's Paul Gregoletto explains how the release of new music in the form a three track EP resulted organically from their new creative space. 

"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," says Gregoletto. "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."

Among those new tracks included the lead single from the band's Struck Dead EP in the bombastic, "Bury Me With My Screams". The single showcases the continuously evolving songwriting prowess of Trivium, combined with the heavy horsepower that has always been core to the band's sound. 

Gregoletto spoke of the emotion that is central to the new single, "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 are set to debut the new single during their highly-anticipated set at Bloodstock Open Air this weekend as they complete a European festival run this month. In the coming weeks leading up to the release of Struck Dead, Trivium will make appearances at Louder Than Life in Louisville in September and Aftershock in Sacramento in early October. Coupled with the arrival of the EP, Trivium will begin The Ascend Above the Ashes headlining tour with special guests Jinjer and Heriot. Beginning Halloween night in Myrtle Beach, SC the tour stretches through December 14th where the run concludes with a hometown set in Orlando, FL.
