11-08-2025
TRIVIUM was joined by MACHINE HEAD‘s Robb Flynn for a performance of the BLACK SABBATH classic “Symptom Of The Universe” in honor of SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne during the Florida metallers’ headlining performance Friday night (August 8) at the Bloodstock Open Air festival at Catton Park, Walton-on-Trent, United Kingdom. Fan-filmed video of his appearance can be seen below.
Prior to launching into the track, TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy told the crowd: ” So we recently lost a hero of metal. I shouldn’t even say a hero of metal. A man without whom’s influence none of this shit would exist. I wouldn’t be here, we wouldn’t be here — none of these fucking bands would be here. Metal would not sound the fucking same, rock wouldn’t sound the same, fucking metalcore, deathcore, none of that shit would fucking exist without this man. And you know exactly what I’m talking about.
“So we wanna pay a special tribute to the man that made this all happen,” he continued. “But we can think of no fucking better way to have another one of our heroes on stage with us right the fuck now to sing this with us. Ladies and gentlemen, another person without whose influence we wouldn’t be fucking standing here right now. Make some noise for Robb Flynn from MACHINE HEAD.”

TRIVIUM have recently announced the release of their forthcoming, three-song EP “Struck Dead”. It arrives on October 31 via longtime label Roadrunner. The band also shared the video for the first single “Bury Me With My Screams”. The song premiered via Heafy‘s “Chaos Hour” show on SiriusXM Liquid Metal and will be debuted live in the band’s headline set at Bloodstock Open Air festival this Friday night.

“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.”
He continues: “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.”
“Struck Dead” EP track listing:
01. Bury Me With My Screams
02. Struck Dead (Pain Is Easier To Remember)
03. Six Walls Surround Me
While it may only be three songs in length, in typical TRIVIUM fashion, it packs a powerhouse punch, thanks to masterful riffing and the dual-style vocal prowess the band has built its nearly three-decade reputation on. It was produced by TRIVIUM and recorded with Mark Lewis at the band’s Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was mixed and mastered by Josh Wilbur.
TRIVIUM will embark on “The Ascend Above The Ashes” trek that kicks off October 31 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and runs through December 14, with an epic hometown show in Orlando, Florida. Special guests are JINJER and HERIOT.
