Trivium : The Book

• 29th Sep 2006

With the third album about to come out, UK tour with Iron Maiden underway, now the book that tells the story of metal's biggest new band on the planet

“TRIVIUM: THE MARK OF PERSEVERANCE”

The remarkable story of Trivium is one of struggle, persistence, set-backs and eventual stellar success: from humble beginnings in dank cellars, through the days of revolving-door membership to the band’s eventual triumphant signing to the legendary Roadrunner Records – these Orlando natives have had an impact on metal not seen since the heyday of their heroes, Metallica.
For the very first time in print, the full tale of how it all happened is revealed through extensive and totally exclusive interviews by the author with those who were instrumental in the band’s inexorable rise.
With fascinating input from original members Brad Lewter and Jarred Bonaparte, DIY Records’ Toby Brown and Matt Wagner of the hugely influential Orlando Metal Awards, ex-band members Ritchie Brown, George Moore and Mike Poggione, collaborators Alex Vieira, Prodigy guitarist Gizz Butt and first label supremo Stefan Luedicke, acclaimed video director Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini and hugely successful New York photographer Josh Rothstein, all the way through to ex-Melody Maker editor Mark Sutherland and legendary producer Colin Richardson (Slipknot), this biography is an unparalleled insight into the Trivium phenomenon. The book also features an eight-page photo section including many never-before-seen photographs.
