Many moons ago, we exclusively reported that Trivium were working with producer David Draiman (he of Distrubed and Device) on their new album. Now it seems that very producer has leaked the title of the band's new album.
Our buddy Raz from Thrash Hits hung out with Draiman at his home back in March during South by Southwest, and got to hear the "title track" off the new album:
Then I had to turn off my dictaphone so he could play us the title track from Trivium’s forthcoming sixth album, Vengeance Falls. Draiman produced it. He goes on to explain that he’s been a fan of the Florida metallers for a while but didn’t think they had reached a high enough standard for him to work with them until he heard In Waves. Unsurprisingly, he claims that this album will take Trivium up to the next level. To hear such genuine passion is the mark of a man who holds heavy music in exceptionally high regard. From one listen, I can say that the song is good – it’s interesting and unpredictable. He might be right.
For their part, Trivium are not denying the title leak, with frontman Matt Heafy jokingly acknowledging it over the weekend on Twitter:
To clear any rumors: The new #triviumvi is called #sharksandwich. It's all country music. With robots singing. With high waisted jean shorts

To wit, there is now a Shark Sandwich Facebook page.
To recap, Trivium's sixth studio album, Vengeance Falls (or perhaps Shark Sandwich) is out this fall.
