Behold "The Sin and the Sentence," the eighth studio album from the formidable American heavy metal force, Trivium. Unleashed on October 20, 2017, through the revered Roadrunner Records label, this album marks a significant chapter in their musical journey, masterfully crafted under the guidance of acclaimed producer Josh Wilbur.

A noteworthy milestone for this release is the introduction of Trivium's fifth drummer, Alex Bent, formerly of Battlecross and presently of Brain Drill and Dragonlord. Bent's arrival followed the departure of drummer Paul Wandtke. With the release of the album's eponymous title track, "The Sin and the Sentence" heralds the triumphant return of frontman Matt Heafy's powerful screaming vocals. These signature vocals, absent from the band's preceding album "Silence in the Snow" due to a vocal injury, are a welcome resurgence and evoke the essence of their 2013 release, "Vengeance Falls."

Upon its debut, "The Sin and the Sentence" garnered widespread critical acclaim. Notably, the track "Betrayer" earned a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in 2019, a testament to Trivium's enduring prowess in the metal genre.
