Crown in the Grave 2LP

Trivium broke through two decades back with Ascendancy, which won Kerrang!'s Album of the Year and went gold in the UK, and later picked up a Grammy nomination for "Betrayer." Crown in the Grave is their eleventh album, out through longtime label Roadrunner Records and produced by Josh Wilbur, who's done the same job for Korn and Lamb of God, with the title track pulling its concept straight from Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. It's also the first time drummer Alex Rudinger shows up on a Trivium record, and the kit hits like he's trying to prove something.
