LORDS OF THE TRIDENT is an American heavy metal band from Madison, Wisconsin with almost 2 decades in the business. The five piece band is known for its mixture of classic, power, and modern progressive metal combining strong vocals, complex instrumentation, and an expansive fantasy backstory to create energetic live shows. They toured with varied metal-style acts from Helloween to Steel Panther.
It is perhaps one of the most obvious connections to make, but a pretty large contingent of metalheads are also gamers. LORDS OF THE TRIDENT know all about making things for the sake of sheer enjoyment, as their brand of metal feels tailor made to remembering that heavy rock music can and should be made to be enjoyed from time to time.
