Video Interview With COREY BEAULIEU From TRIVIUM

PureGrainAudio‘s Julie Hagemans conducted an interview with guitarist Corey Beaulieu of Florida metallers TRIVIUM backstage at the Heavy T.O. festival, which was held on August 11-12 at Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Speaking to PureGrainAudio‘s Mitch Lafon at this year’s edition of the Heavy MTL festival, Beaulieu was asked if TRIVIUM is planning to return to the studio soon to begin recording the follow-up to last year’s “In Waves“. “Right now we’re on our last North American tour,” Corey said. “And then we’ve got a few other things, like South America and a European headlining tour. That wraps up November 20 — [that] is the last show — but then the rest of the year is gonna be, I guess, recharging; we’re taking a break. And as soon as January hits, we’re pumping out a new album that will hopefully be out maybe August or September next year; that’s kind of the goal.”
