Silence in the Snow is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. It was released on October 2, 2015, through Roadrunner Records.[5] It is the first and only album to feature third drummer Mat Madiro, who joined the band in May 2014 and before he had departed from the band in December 2015. It is the band's only album to date to not feature any harsh vocals. Michael "Elvis" Baskette was hired as the producer whom the band had met while recording In Waves album back in 2011.[6]

The band premiered "Silence in the Snow" and "Blind Leading the Blind" on their headlining performance on Bloodstock Open Air. "Blind Leading the Blind" was later released as a single on YouTube August 13, 2015. On August 21, 2015, a music video was released on YouTube for "Blind Leading the Blind".

The third single "Until the World Goes Cold" premiered on Octane on August 26, 2015.[7] The music video premiered on YouTube the day after.[8] The single landed on No. 10 at Top 10 Active Rock chart in February 2016, making it first ever Trivium single in the Top 10.[9]

On September 25, 2015, a week prior the worldwide release, the entire album (including two bonus tracks) was officially streamed on Octane. Heafy, Beaulieu and Gregoletto were also participating in the radio program, breaking down the meaning of songs and commenting on the songwriting process.[10][11]

The fourth single "Dead and Gone" was released with its music video on March 10, 2016.[12]
