Slipknot members Shawn "Clown" Crahan and Joey Jordison have released separated statements commemorating Paul Gray, who has died in May 2010. He'd have been 39 today.
Hey everybody, it’s Clown, I wanted to say that today is a very special and beautiful day. I wanted everyone to know that I am the type of person that would not commemorate a day that someone close to me passed away, but I am the type of person that celebrates the day that they were born. Today is the day that Paul Dedrick Gray was born which makes it a very, very, very special day for me and all of us who miss and love him and think about him every day. Paul, I love you and I miss you. Your friend and brother forever,
Clown
Today is a day that will have a special place in my heart forever. It’s a special day for all, for not only me and the guys in our band and families, but for everyone to put smiles across their faces and to celebrate the emotion and beauty of one of the greatest souls to ever grace music and humanity. I spent all of last night watching our videos since our days as little kids who had a dream and fuck, Paul we did make that dream come true. I fell asleep last night only to wake up minutes ago with a smile on my face as my slumbers were filled with memories I’d long forgot. Even as I write this my eyes are getting a little watery. He loves all of you who embraced his music. God bless to Brenna, October and all his friends and family as well. I wish that all of you that couldn’t share time with Paul will by playing his records ‘til your ceilings crack and your ears bleed and by celebrating his memory in the glory that it is. I love you Paul and I’ll see you again soon, but not yet…not yet. Hail Paul, hail Slipknot. Your friend,
Joey

The video for "Shattering the Skies Above" , the Trivium's song which appears on the PlayStation3 's video game "God Of War III" and in the EP "God of War : Blood & Metal" , is now available and can be viewed below .
Commented Trivium frontman Matt Heafy : "When we were initially asked to write an original song for the game, we were slightly perplexed since we've never actually written a track for something other than a Trivium record, but we answered the call as we are fans of the game.
Writing the song was a fun experience. We started piecing riffs together on tour and then we really put time into the song when we got home and had the chance to go into the practice space to work on our ideas as a group.
This new song captures a certain energy we've been trying to harness on record as well, as it will show all our fans worldwide where Trivium is heading musically in the future."
"God of War: Blood & Metal" track listing:
01. Killswitch Engage - "My Obsession"
02. Trivium - "Shattering The Skies Above"
03. Deam Theatre - "Raw Dog"

Nick Augusto is now the permanent drummer of the band Trivium . He has already been introduced to the fans during the "Into the Mouth of Hell We Tour" trek .
Matt Heafy (vocalist/guitarist) said : " We're really happy to have our good friend and fellow Floridian Nick Augusto join the Trivium family . Nick's drumming is very technical and diverse and he brings a real intense energy to the band and we can't wait for everyone to hear the new song, 'Shattering the Skies Above', that we just recorded with Nick . I think it's the best Trivium recording we've ever done; it's raw, full of energy and I think Nick's drumming really pushed us to a new level ."
