Baker of 99.7 The Blitz radio station conducted an interview with bassist Paolo Gregoletto of Florida metallers TRIVIUM at this year's Rock On The Range festival, which was held May 16-18 at the Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. You can now watch the chat below.TRIVIUM's new album, "Vengeance Falls", made Top 10 chart debuts in Japan, Australia, Germany and Austria as well as a Top 15 debut in Canada and a Top 25 debut in the United Kingdom. This marked the acclaimed metallers' second consecutive Top 15 debut in the U.S. and highest-career debuts around the globe — including a No. 2 debut in Japan."Vengeance Falls" sold 17,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The record — which was produced by David Draiman (DISTURBED, DEVICE) — arrived in stores on October 15, 2013 via Roadrunner.Regarding how the album was received, Paolo told 99.7 The Blitz: "It seems like it's picking up momentum as it's come out. Sicne we've come back in the States, we started [touring] with VOLBEAT, like, six or seven weeks ago, it's just been, like, a constant momentum, leading up to [Rock On The Range], and now going into [the Rockstar Energy Drink] Mayhem [festival], we're really just excited that we're reaching so many new people and this is their first experience of us."TRIVIUM earlier in the month parted ways with drummer Nick Augusto due to personal differences. Stepping in for him on TRIVIUM's current dates is the band's drum tech, Mat Madiro.
