Trial comments: "'Motherless' is the opener and title track of the upcoming release. It's a fiery and captivating tune that serves the purpose of entangling the listener into the rest of the album. The video was created by the fantastic artist Costin Chioreanu, who uses the artwork and layout he created for the album as a vessel to give the song an extra dimension. It perfectly corresponds to our vision of what 'Motherless' is."

Trial Signs With Metal Blade Records
Swedish metal act Trial has signed on with Metal Blade Records.
Trial formed in 2007, but it was not until 2013 when the band wrote and recorded the "Malicious Arts" EP (2013), which became yet a stepping stone from where the band was to where they wanted to be. "That EP, in many ways, became our first road to liberate us from ourselves," the band recalled. "Rising from the ashes of our former selves, we took things further beyond, which ultimately resulted in the album 'Vessel'."
After earning acclaimed reviews for "Vessel" (2015), Trial's popularity continued to grow, and it wasn't long before Metal Blade Records signed the band. With plans to re-invent themselves once again, Trial's upcoming debut for the label promises to be another step forward a budding career.
Comments the band: “We're honored to be able to work with such a prestigious and historically important label as Metal Blade. Many of their previous releases are milestones in the genre and of great inspiration to us. To join their roster of artists and be a part of that legacy is one step further towards the perfection of our craft!"
Trial is:
Linus Johansson - Vocals
Alexander Ellström - Guitars
Andreas Johnsson - Guitars
Andréas Olsson - Bass
Martin Svensson – Drums More...
Trial Details New Album "Vessel"
Traditional metal act Trial has revealed the details about the upcoming new release "Vessel." The album is set to drop via High Roller Records on January 21st (EU) and January 23rd (USA). The sophomore full length release is the follow up to the 2013 EP "Malicious Arts." The cover art, created by Costin Chioreanu, can be seen below.
"Vessel" is the debut on new label High Roller Records and contains seven songs reminiscent of early Iron Maiden, mid-period Mercyful Fate with a bit of Omen and countrymates Below thrown in for good measure. “Well, it is of course a great honour to be mentioned among such powerful names," says guitarist Andreas Johnsson. “It’s flattering. But we don’t want to be seen as a copy of these bands or write songs similar to theirs. If we’ve managed to capture the same feelings or energies as these bands on certain records it’s great, but like I said, our intention was never to try to sound like them."
The track listing for the album is:
1. Vessel
2. To New Ends
3. Ecstasy Waltz
4. Through Bewilderment
5. A Ruined World
6. Where Man Becomes All
7. Restless Blood More...
