Persian black metal act Trivax release new track and video 'Alpha Predator' • GRIMM Gent

With just over two weeks to the release of their full-length opus “Eloah Burns Out”, Eastern Death Magick practitioners Trivax have unveiled a lyric video to the track “Alpha Predator”.

The band commented:

“As the album is themed around Death and its many different facets, “Alpha Predator” speaks from one of the most important accounts relating to death, which is the core perspective of the murderer.

“The apex killer, the terminator and the one who seeks to end all external traces of life, because it is simply his purpose and destiny to do so.

“This song is a tapping to the shadow side, the primitive side of man and nature, which is something that exists within every single one of us.

“It is filled with a strong, confident, almost macho – yet harsh and bitter intent, true to the deepest and darkest parts of our very own nature.

“In the end, the song acknowledges the futility of it all, that we are hardwired to kill, only to some day reach our own mortality.”

“Behold, for my will is fire!
This hunt will not stop until the funeral pyre…”

“Eloah Burns Out”, a concept album which tells the story of Death, will be released on 29 September 2023 via UK-based publishing house and record label, Cult Never Dies. The album will be available in CD, 12″ LP, cassette and digital formats and can be pre-ordered via the label’s webstore (UK & ROW store / EU store).

Formed by guitarist and vocalist Shayan, Trivax began life in the late 2000s in the perhaps unexpected location of Iran, a country whose laws regarding music – and especially black metal – have led to punishment, imprisonment and even death. Relocating to the UK, Shayan found a like-minded ally in bassist Sully, who had similarly left Syria due to facing imprisonment for his metal associations. Completing this power trio was talented British native M. Croton, a drummer with many years of experience under his belt.
