New Trivium videos

Shooting this week, what to expect...

Trivium will shoot two videos in Los Angeles, California next week — one on August 10 and another one on August 11. "Both videos are sure to be badass... and we need all the people we can get to come down and make sure they are the best Trivium videos EVER!" the group writes on its MySpace page. "Details on location and time will be sent out Monday or Tuesday, but keep those dates open for now if you want to be a part of this! Don't miss out on your chance to be featured in the first two videos for Trivium's new album, 'The Crusade'!!!"

As previously reported, the cover artwork for Trivium's third album, "The Crusade", has been posted online at this location. The follow-up to 2005's "Ascendancy" was recorded at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, FL, just outside of Orlando. Once again produced by TRIVIUM and Jason Suecof, the CD is "a dazzling explosion of tight, intricate and instantly memorable songs that feature awe-inspiring musicianship from all four members of the band," according to a press release.

"The Crusade" will contain 13 songs, including "Detonation", which is available for download at this location, "And Sadness Will Sear", the initial focus track "Entrance of the Conflagration", and the nine-minute instrumental epic "The Crusade".

To date "Ascendancy" has sold 140,000 units in the Unites States and continues to sell over 1,600 a week.

"The Crusade" is scheduled for release on October 10 via Roadrunner Records.

Slayer album online

Slayer is streaming its entire new album, 'Christ Illusion', on the band's official MySpace page.

As previously reported, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King will be the featured guest on this weekend's edition of "Headbanger's Ball", airing on Saturday, August 5 at 10:00 p.m. EST. In additon, "Headbanger's Ball" will cut its show short this weekend to devote the 11:30 p.m. - midnight slot to air "The Unholy Alliance Tour Special".

The special features interviews plus live-in-concert and behind-the-scenes footage of the entire lineup tour headliner SLAYER, as well as LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON, CHILDREN OF BODOM, and THINE EYES BLEED.

SLAYER will film a war-themed video for the song "Eyes of the Insane" with director Tony Petrossian (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR). No further details are available at this time.

Due on August 8, "Christ Illusion" is SLAYER's first new studio album since 2001, and the first recorded by the band's original line-up1 Kerry King (guitar), Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Jeff Hanneman (guitars), Dave Lombardo (drums) since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss". "Christ Illusion" was produced by Josh Abraham and executive-produced by Rick Rubin.
