Trivium drop Dead Inside Of Me — lead single from album 11, no release date

On September 16, Trivium released Dead Inside Of Me after a SiriusXM premiere. Pavel Trebukhin (Amon Amarth, Imminence) directed the video. It is the first song from the band’s forthcoming 11th studio album. There is no title or street date yet. More details, they say, will come later.

The last LP was In The Court Of The Dragon (2021). That is not five years of silence: the Struck Dead EP arrived in fall 2025. The press lineup is Matthew K. Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto, and Alex Rüdinger on drums.

“‘Dead Inside Of Me’ was a song that came together at the end of a long day of writing new music last summer. It started with a riff I’d had kicking around for five or six years called ‘Slam,’ looping over a simple groove. A lot of the most fun song ideas come from blending two contrasting ideas together. Take a death metal riff and play it like a stadium rock song. Let the screaming and singing weave together until they feel like one voice. Being able to explain the idea that simply as the song was coming together helped keep us laser-focused and on track to see the vision through to the end.”

He also names the frame for the lyrics.

“The song was loosely inspired by the Japanese concept of honne and tatemae — the tension between your true inner feelings and the mask you present to the outside world to hide them.”

A North American headline run starts November 5 and runs through December 19. In Flames are on the bill, with Orbit Culture, Fit For An Autopsy, and Frozen Soul. When the tour was announced, the band called it the next era of Trivium “with Rudi behind the kit” and said the shows would include a taste of the new music.
