TRIVIUM Confirmed For Australia's SOUDNWAVE FESTIVAL

August 17, 2011

Florida metallers TRIVIUM have been confirmed for next year's edition of Australia's Soundwave Festival (not to be confused with the recently canceled offshoot event, Soundwave Revolution),which will take place in February/March.

The exact dates are as follows:

Saturday, February 25 - Brisbane
Sunday, February 26 - Sydney
Friday, March 2 - Melbourne
Saturday, March 3 - Adelaide
Monday, March 5 - Perth

Other rumored acts for next year's Soundwave include DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, SHADOWS FALL, CKY, THE SMOKING HEARTS, FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS and MADINA LAKE.

TRIVIUM's new album, "In Waves", sold 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart the highest U.S. chart entry of the band's career. (Note: The Billboard chart was re-run earlier today, resulting in "In Waves" moving two spots higher than its originally announced position.) The group's previous CD, "Shogun", opened with just under 24,000 units back in October 2008 to debut at No. 23. The effort followed up "The Crusade", which registered a first-week tally of 31,000 copies in October 2006 to enter the chart at No. 25.

"In Waves" was recorded primarily at Paint It Black Studios in Orlando, Florida (with only the drums having been tracked at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida) with the production/mixing team of Colin Richardson (MACHINE HEAD, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, SLIPKNOT, FEAR FACTORY) and Martin "Ginge" Ford, along with engineer Carl Bown. A two-disc special edition is also available. It features five bonus tracks, plus a DVD with a 40-minute, behind-the-scenes documentary, as well as an exclusive concert filmed in a warehouse located in Orlando, Florida, which is the band's stomping grounds. This concert features the first performances of tracks from "In Waves", along with TRIVIUM classics.
