According to METAL HAMMER. Trivium's bassist Paulo Gregoletto recently tweeted, that the band will probably include a cover song on their next studio effort. Stating:
“Well it seems we may need to record a cover for the new album. I want to do a Death song, but please feel free to send some ideas our way!”

What's really interesting is that Paulo's choice for a band to cover is DEATH, the forefathers of Death Metal. If you followed Trivium over the years, you would know how ironic that choice would be.

The album will be produced once again at Audio Hammer Studios with veteran producer Jason Suecof. Recording is scheduled to take place on December 1st with Colin Richardson and Martin “Ginge” Ford handling production duties. The album is set for a 2011 release.
Metal film maker Eric Braverman, the real American werewolf (no seriously, the dude's got crazy muttonchops) is currently doing a monthly show for Metal Hammer TV titled "The Greatest Music Ever Created, And How It Ruined Our Lives."

An excerpt from MHTV follows:
“The Greatest Music Ever Created, And How It Ruined Our Lives” is brought to you every month from the arrid desert outpost of Phoenix, Arizona. Master Inquisitor, Natural History Consultant and metal fanatic Eric Braverman, has teamed up with his Overseas Production Executive and metal author and journalist Mark Eglinton, to bring you a refreshingly new series of shows from the very coal face of heavy metal on a monthly basis."

Disturbed did a cover of Judas Priest's classic "Living After Midnight" for a tribute album for British Steel's 30th anniversary. The album will include 9 covers from the classic release, and will be available on Metal Hammer's first volume of "Metal Forge" which is available now.

The good folks over at Metal Hammer [UK] pointed me to this great read for up and coming ass kickers Taking Dawn.

Front man
Chris Babbit shares his favorite stories from the band's current tour with Airbourne, which seems to be a hell of a time.

Chris
has a very "feel like you were there" writing style, that will keep you entertained through out the entire read. From getting locked out a venue, to a whore's asshole (yea, I was all like O.0 at first too), these guys are set for big things ahead.


An excerpt follows:
“I’m not much of a drinker. Anyone who knows me will tell you that (I’m not much of a “blogger” either, yet here we are). BUT let’s just say when you’re on tour with a band like Airbourne, Darwinian principles take root. You adapt or you abscond. Mix in or miss out. Fight or flight, motherfucker! So naturally I selected* the former and formed gills, because those guys drink like fish (yet I never ONCE saw them drunk!).


To be fair I don’t have the tolerance (or the bank account) to get anywhere NEAR annihilated on the road (unless, of course, YOU’RE payin’). With ever-important shows to play the next day, I couldn’t allow the crippling effects of a harrowing hangover to compromise a single performance. Seriously, schoolgirls outdrink me.
I hold my liquor like a little girl.


And THAT’S not even true, because three lovely little girls drank me under the table just the other night at the Crobar in London (but that’s a tale for another time…and frankly if you’re a card-carrying VIP of the bar, you’re PROBABLY a seasoned alcoholic, and rest assured I mean that as a compliment, and rest even further assured that I employ more commas than Niccolo Machiavelli, and if you don’t rest so easily assured, just pick up The Prince)."
