![]() In the ‘80s, it was all here’s a titty shot, here’s the band onstage…ī: The band is also going back to its roots by reclaiming your sound from a couple of albums ago… It’s nice to not have a band force-feed you what you are supposed to feel and think. The meaning and images is what came from your head. Music in the ‘60s and ‘70s was very personal. However anyone wants to take this record whether all related or not or just on the surface with cool music and pictures or digging deep… there is no right or wrong answer.”ī: Before MTV in the ‘80s. That’s why we are not giving any straight up answers on what anything is supposed to mean or what anyone is to take away from it. Heafy: “The biggest thing with this album is that we want to re-instill creativity and imagination in the listener and in the viewer. I want to push the boundaries of everything we’ve ever done and what I see metal doing nowadays.”ī: Would you qualify In Waves as a concept record? They are (one of) my heroes and I want to tie this all together in a way that is uniquely our own. Every record of theirs is something amazing. We want the way we look on stage and the way we look in the videos to match the packaging, to match the live DVD, to match the documentary and to also match the music. ![]() A big thing with us was to have every single thing be in the same realm. We’re hoping it’ll be five to ten parts long. The next video is Built To Fall, which happens immediately after In Waves and there will be more and more parts coming out. The In Waves video was merely a part of this saga that we have in our heads. Heafy: “Only metaphorically, but my goal is for all the music videos across this record to all be like mini-movies. We want to release the entire movie and that’s what In Waves is to me.”ī: Will you actually make In Waves into a movie? We didn’t want to make a record that was just a soundtrack to a movie. Jonpaul Douglass did the photography and Ramon Boutviseth did the In Waves video and he’ll be working with us in a month on the 'Built To Fall' video, so there were a lot of people involved with this record to make it what it is. He worked on the new website, new logo, and new merchandising. We also had five visual artists including Danny Jones who worked on the graphic design and was the creative director of the record. With this record, we had three production team people: Colin Richardson (producing), Martin ‘Ginge’ Ford (co-producing), and Carl Brown (engineering). A year before the actual recording process, we started working on the visual art. ![]() They’ve gone through a ton of change and work, but they’ve been around for that long. Those are songs that have been around for two years now. Some of the earlier songs that are still around are: 'Inception Of The End', 'Built To Fall', 'A Grey So Dark' and 'Forsake Not The Dream'. Do we want an album that has every single aspect that was involved with the record either visually or auditorily all to be tied in together and all to match? Two years before the actual recording process, we started writing a lot of the songs. Three years before actually starting the record, we started brainstorming the idea of the album. Matt Heafy: “We were touring a ton off the Shogun record and we had a year plus off as well (that was supposed to be writing time). Tell me about the process and why did it take so long? Singer/guitarist Matt Heafy sat down with for a quick band update on the creation of their new studio album and subsequent tour.ī: The new album, In Waves, has been three years in the making. Florida-based metallers TRIVIUM are set to unleash their new album, In Waves, in August, but before that anxiously-awaited moment, the band rolls into Heavy MTL on July 23rd at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, PQ.
