TRIVIUM Talk NEW Album & Touring Plans At The Revolver Golden Gods Awards!

One week ago, America’s only Hard Rock and Heavy Metal award show took over downtown Los Angeles! The fourth annual REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARD SHOW presented by Epiphone® rocked out at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles. For the first time ever, the event was broadcast live in its entirety on Xbox LIVE, as well as on the Xbox and Revolver Facebook pages.

Prior to their EPIC performance at the awards show, we had the chance to chat with the members TRIVIUM about what the Golden Gods mean to the Heavy Music world and what the band had planned for their Golden Gods debut as performers. Additionally, they told us that they have been writing some NEW music and that have touring plans all the way until mid 2013. Here is our interview with TRIVIUM at the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards.
