New interview with Corey Beaulieu!

New interview with Corey Beaulieu!

Musicianstop Magazine's Sahra Joelle conducted an interview with guitarist Corey Beaulieu of Florida metallers Trivium when the band played the Majestic Theatre in Ventura, California on October 2, 2009. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

In a recent interview with The Daily Rock, Trivium guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy stated about the songwriting process for the band's next album, "Yeah, we have some stuff — not as a whole band, but each individual guy has maybe ten to twenty songs. I have done about fifteen, but I have gotten rid of all but six because I kept the good ones as I kept going on, the newer songs I was writing were stronger and better so I got rid of the ones that weren't as good. Paolo [Gregoletto, bass] has a bunch of songs, like twenty or so, but he keeps cutting back as well. Everyone keeps writing as many as they can, but then cutting back the weak ones and not worrying about trying to make them better songs. . . We have all loose ideas right now. Musically, it is getting closer to finishing a more realized idea but lyrically and generally, with the entire record not being written and purely in the developmental stages, we are thinking of it as something that we want to be recognized by any kind of fan, whether you like metal or not, whether you speak English or not, 'cause we are definitely a band that travels internationally around. I have done a style of words that is almost hard to interpret even if you speak English, so I'm not saying we are dumbing ourselves down, but I want it to be universally translatable no matter where we are. I don't know how to make that happen, but we definitely want it to sound like Trivium but with the best possible songs. We always try to keep true to what our heart is as a band but we want to diversify, and not diversify for the sake of ourselves, but to find where we are going as a band. Nowadays, we know more of what is right for our sound. If we look across all four records, we know what kind of parts should be there for the next thing and what shouldn't be there."

Trivium has announced that they are one of the first major acts to team up with entrepreneurial Australian company Posse in the U.K. Posse is a peer-to-peer ticketing method that rewards fans for actively promoting concerts. The partnership enables fans to recommend and sell tickets for Trivium gigs in the U.K. via their personal blogs, websites, or social networking profiles. Trivium is thrilled to chart new territory by aligning with Posse for the majority of their March 2010 U.K. tour giving fans the opportunity to help make a difference as well as getting something back.

Trivium: Corey Interview with Swigged!

Trivium: Corey Interview with Swigged!

Steven K. of Swigged! recently conducted an interview with guitarist Corey Beaulieu of Florida-based metallers Trivium. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Swigged!: You've been asked about the polarizing effect of your band in the past — how metal fans either love you or hate you. I've given itsome thought and believe the issue comes from the notion of authenticity. Fans believe what you provide is real metal whereas your opponents feel your brand of metal is not. What do you say to this?

Corey: I don't give a shit. People can question our "metalness" all they want. The first genre of music I got into was metal — I know just as much about it as the next fucking person who talks shit. That's all we love, though. We grew up on old-school metal and play the kind of music we listen to and enjoy. You can't get any more real than that — just playing music that comes from the heart. With every band, there are always people that talk shit. But the bigger you get, the more haters you get. People always try to knock down those who are doing well. Slipknot has a shitload haters. We have ours. Coheen and Cambria has theirs. It just comes with the territory.

Swigged!: Do you think this issue has come up because you're signed to what is essentially a major label, rather than a reputable "underground" label such as Nuclear Blast, Earache, or Relapse?

Corey: Maybe — I don't know. There are a lot of bands that are still in the underground that you never hear people shit on,but when they get bigger, people think they're not cool anymore. They lose that "That's my band" deal. I think a lot of people need to getover that shit. If nobody listens to a band, they're not making money and can't afford to keep making music. We're better off with them becoming more popular because we know they won't stop because they can't pay their bills. [Laughs] Everyone — even the people who shit onthe bands — if they had the opportunity to do what we or other bandsare doing, they would want to reach as many people as possible and try to be successful. At the end of the day, music is awesome and fun, butif you do it 24 hours a day, it's also your job. Nobody wants to go to McDonald's and flip burgers for free. We definitely have the coolest jobs, but it's also known as the music business for a reason. There is work to it.

Swigged!: Were there any regrets with the way "Shogun" turned out?

Corey: The only record where I had some after-thought was with "The Crusade", but we didn't have too much time to do that album, so we've all had ideas come to us too late. Recording that record was very spur of the moment. With this one, we worked on the songs for so long that we would change parts, demo them, listen to it for a while and try more shit. When Nick [Raskulinecz, producer] came into the picture, he had some ideas that would help let the songs flow better and in the studio we would add little things. Given the time, we could try all the different ideas and possibilities. By the time we finished the new record, there's nothing I would change. We just ran into Nickthe other day, he came out to a show in Nashville. He's stoked to dothe next album with us. We have a bunch of ideas where we could take things on the next record, tone wise and guitar. With "Shogun", everything turned out the way it was supposed to. The next one will have new ideas. Maybe the guitars will sound more crushing. It's whatever hits you that moment. "Shogun" is the best record we've done so far — it has the most energy. It was the record we had to make at that moment to show everybody what we got.

Swigged!: Where do you see the next album going? Has writing for the next album started already?

Corey: It's hard to tell. We're always writing riffs and stuff — but we won't have a good grasp of where it'll be going until we're a few songs in and see the overall vibe. I really liked the flow and the balance of different kinds of vocals on "Shogun", so I hope we can branch off and do new things with that. Maybe songs with all screaming or all singing. We won't be doing that for years. By then, we'll have lots of ideas written and see where it goes We don't force anything, it's very natural. If something sounds cool, we use it and build off it. If welike the song, we use it regardless of if it's super heavy or melodic. If we dig it, we feel our fans will too.
