Look at how young and impressionable Trivium look in that picture. Today, frontman Matt Heafy announced the band will be re-releasing their debut album, 2003's Ember To Inferno and they will be including their rarer early demos as bonus material.
Matt made the announcement via Twitter:
EMBER TO INFERNO NEWS! The contract is up with its last label; we will be packing ETI, "Blue Demo", and "Red Demo" up with new artwork soon!

EMBER NEWS! Totally forgot, it'll include: "ETI", "Blue Demo", "Red Demo", AND "Yellow Demo". Not talkin Pokemon here. Primary colors baby!

Fun fact: Heafy was only 17 when the album was recorded. The label Heafy mentions is Lifeforce Records. I'd assume since Trivium are still actively on Roadrunner Records that the album will come out with them. Trivium recently wrapped their Vengeance Falls album cycle and have begun work on their seventh album.
Update: Matt saw our tweet with the old promo photo which you see above, and shared an even older early Trivium promo photo with us:
