Trivium are streaming an early demo titled “The Storm.” This track is from the “Caeruleus” bonus disc, which comes with the deluxe version of the band’s “Ember To Inferno“ reissue “Ember To Inferno: Ab Initio.” That effort will be available on December 2.
Matt Heafy said the following:
“‘The Storm‘ is a Trivium track of legend. It’s been completely absent from the world for ages since it was only available on the Trivium ‘Blue Demo‘ (aka ‘Caeruleus‘) — a demo that has been rumored to be priced at hundreds of dollars on auction websites. This song lyrically is inspired by the Norwegian Oskoreia, which is a European folk legend that is known to have inspired Black Metal’s very creation.”
‘The Storm‘ is a piece that foreshadows where Trivium would eventually go with its more progressive pieces like much off the ‘Shogun‘ album; it’s a blend of instrumental technicality, melody, and brutality.”
