It’s been a busy time for Trivium of late firstly their fantastic appearence at the Download Festival last weekend, and then taking home no less than 3 (!!!) Golden Gods at Monday’s Metal Hammer Awards. But it’s back to work now on their new opus ‘The Crusade‘, and Paolo has dropped by to let us all know how it’s going. “Paolo here, just giving you an update before we head out early tomorrow for tour. We have finished tracking all of ‘The Crusade’, 15 songs total. Mixing has already begun and should be done in the next few weeks! We are incredibly excited with what we have accomplished in the studio. “This goes out to all our friends in Australia and New Zealand who have been patiently waiting for us to come down and play shows for you. Thank you for all the messages you have sent to us, we get hundreds and hundreds a week. There is a good chance we will be down in early 2007, once we confirm them we will let you know! We aren’t a band that likes to play a few shows, we will make sure we hit both coasts and play as many shows as we can. Thanks for spreading the word about us!!!! See you soon!!”
