Trivium have shared a stream of “The Storm” from their upcoming “Ember To Inferno” reissue, which arrives December 02nd on Cooking Vinyl. This particular track appears on the “Caeruleus” bonus disc included with the deluxe “Ember To Inferno: Ab Initio” edition of the reissue. Frontman/guitarist Matt Heafy commented:
“‘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.”
