Trivium are an American heavy metal band from Orlando, Florida, active since 1999. Their ten studio albums span thrash metal, metalcore and melodic death metal, with 2005's 'Ascendancy' - Kerrang!'s Album of the Year and a 500,000-copy seller worldwide - remaining their landmark release. Vocalist and guitarist Matt Heafy leads the band alongside guitarist Corey Beaulieu and bassist Paolo Gregoletto; drummer Alex Rüdinger joined in late 2025. Their tenth album 'In the Court of the Dragon' arrived in 2021, and a new record is in progress.

Trivium announced a comprehensive European summer tour for 2026, including a performance at Copenhell in Copenhagen on June 26.
Trivium released the EP 'Struck Dead' in October 2025 and shortly after went into the studio to work on a new album.
Trivium changed drummers: Alex Bent left the band in October 2025 after nine years, and Alex Rüdinger (formerly Whitechapel) joined as the new permanent drummer and participates in the recording of the next album.
Trivium completed a largely sold-out North American spring tour and announced the fall tour 'Ascend Above the Ashes' with Jinjer and Heriot as support.
