Hailing from central Florida, Trivium formed in 2000 and quickly built a buzz with a blend of metalcore, thrash, and progressive metal flourish. Their latest offering, entitled “In Waves” is more than a new album: it makes a crucial statement. It's a statement about writing their own rules about what it means to be a contemporary metal band. It's a statement that encompasses boundary-defying music, moods, movement, and visuals. It's a statement that's emblematic of their evolution. It's a statement that's going to impact anyone open to it.
