American heavy metal band Trivium has announced their North American 2022 tour in support of their album In the Court of the Dragon. The tour, billed as Dead Men and Dragons, will kick off in October and see support from bands including Between the Buried and Me, Whitechapel, and Khemmis.
The tour will begin on October 2 in Boise, Idaho and will go through November 10 in Los Angeles. The Dead Men and Dragons tour follows Trivium’s September run in supporting Iron Maiden on their 2022 Legacy of the Beast North American tour.
Trivium will also make stops in Vancouver, Calgary, Atlanta, Orlando and New York, among other cities. The presale for the Trivium tour is currently ongoing via Ticketmaster, using the code DRAGON2022, with a general on-sale starting on July 22 at 10 am PT.
Trivium frontman Matt Heafy, speaking about Between the Buried and Me, said,
Meet a little girl with a big heart RIGHT HERE
“Between the Buried and Me are the pioneers of mixing genres well before anyone else had. BTBAM back in 2002 — on the impeccable self-titled album — showed that they were unapologetically ready to mix elements of death metal, melodic death metal, grindcore, power metal, prog, ethereal — at times beautiful — passages of melody.”
He further added:
“Their self-titled record was a massive influence on me; I was captivated by the immense mixture of so many styles. Through their combining of a vast range of sonics and soundscapes, they created a sound that is truly their own.”

In a press release, speaking about Whitechapel, Trivium guitarist Corey Beaulieu said,
“We’re excited to have Whitechapel be a part of this amazing bill. It’s been over 10 years since we toured together on the Shogun tour and seeing how the band has progressed over the years and added a killer melodic element to their brutal sound just makes it a perfect time to share the stage once again.”
Speaking about Khemmis, Trivium bassist Paulo Gregoletto said:
“Khemmis is one of my favorite new bands of the last few years, and when we were putting the tour together, I heavily advocated for having them on the bill. I think it’s always a testament to a band’s sound when you have trouble pinning a label to it — doom, melodic metal, thrash, death metal. With Khemmis, it’s all in there and rocks hard. They are a October 10 live band and did a great cover of ‘Rainbow in the Dark,’ so do not miss their set!”
