Trivium to “take a break” after tour with “no plans for a new record”
nme.comTrivium frontman Matt Heafy has confirmed that the band will be taking a hiatus after their scheduled run of live shows.The singer-songwriter and guitarist confirmed the upcoming break in a new interview, and recalled the reasons why the members are looking to put the metal band on pause after their upcoming tour dates.“Normally we are always, we’re so open with everything — we show everything we do, we talk about everything — but the one thing we are always secretive about is the records,” he began, talking with EMP at the Summer Breeze Festival.“But this time I can say that we’re just going on a proper break this time.
Because we’ve done 10 albums of ‘album-tour, album-tour.'”He continued: “This time, when this tour cycle ends, we’re gonna take a true break, and instead of working on music, we’re actually gonna work on building our Hangar studio, so that way when it comes time to make records, we can do that again.
But there are currently no plans for a new record. And I’m not being deceitful there. There’s no plans right now.”The hangar he refers to is Trivium’s current home base in Orlando, Florida.
The members acquired it back in 2020 (via Loudwire), after purchasing an old aeroplane hangar with the intent of turning it into a home studio – equipped with a rehearsal area and performance space.Elsewhere in the interview, Heafy also recited the mammoth number of live shows that Trivium have played since being on their current tour, which celebrates the release of their 2021 album ‘In The Court Of the Dragon’; making no surprise why the band are looking to pursue some downtime.“We’ve been on this two-year-long world tour and we will hit 208 shows on this one record in three weeks, which is a lot,” he explained.
