Pure, unadulterated metal, this is gargantuan music for the biggest of all stages.
In The Court Of The Dragon is as bold and creative as it is fearlessly experimental.
In The Court Of The Dragon is well-written, well-executed, and a bold new step in the Trivium world.
In terms of a band playing contemporary, modern heavy metal, Trivium have been the best for some time. They still are, and In The Court Of The Dragon is a fucking awesome heavy metal album.

Taken together, this makes for one of 2021’s most compelling pure metal releases, and gives its makers reason to feel proud of their craft.
Against all odds (preconceptions mostly), In The Court Of The Dragon is a surprising “return to form” for a group who stayed familiar, but struggled with finding their own identity.
