Earlier this July, Trivium announced via their social media accounts that they would embark on a massive North American tour in support of their latest album, The Crown In The Grave. Joining Trivium on The Crown In The Grave Tour 2026 | North America would be In Flames, Fit For an Autopsy, Orbit Culture, and Frozen Soul. Of course, you know I searched to find the Atlanta date on the tour poster once I saw this insanely stacked lineup. For the Atlanta tour stop at The Eastern, Trivium will be joined by In Flames, Fit For An Autopsy, and Frozen Soul. Orbit Culture will join the tour on November 20th at the Royal Oak, Michigan tour stop, while the November 18th date in Toronto, Ontario, will be the last date to see Frozen Soul on this tour.

This would be my first time seeing not only Trivium perform, but also every band on this bill – In Flames, Fit For An Autopsy, and Frozen Soul. I was thrilled about the opportunity to document this tour stop at The Crown In The Grave Tour 2026 | North America at The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia. So, let us dive into the bands on Trivium's The Crown In The Grave Tour 2026 | North America.

Frozen Soul is a death metal band from Fort Worth, Texas, active since 2018. Frozen Soul has released three (3) LPs and one (1) EP and is currently signed to Century Media Records. Frozen Soul consists of Chad Green (vocals), Chris Bonner (lead guitar), Samantha Mobley (bass), Michael Munday (rhythm guitar), and Matt Dennard (drums). Frozen Soul's latest album, No Place of Warmth, was released May 8th, 2026.

Starting off the night was the band Frozen Soul. Due to traffic and a few accidents on Interstate 20 coming into Atlanta, I did not make it to the venue in time to photograph and watch this set. I am bummed, to say the least. Next time, Frozen Soul!

"Crypt of Ice"

"Absolute Zero"

"Chaos Will Reign"

"Frost Forged"

"No Place of Warmth"

Fit For An Autopsy currently consists of Will Putney (guitars), Peter "Blue" Spinazola (bass), Tim Howley (guitars), Josean Orta (drums), Pat Sheridan (guitars/backing vocals), and Joe Badolato (lead vocals). Fit For An Autopsy is currently signed to Nuclear Blast Records. The Nothing That Is was their last studio album, which was released on October 25, 2024.

Fit For An Autopsy was next up after a blistering set from the Texas band Frozen Soul. Knowing this was my first time watching the great Fit For An Autopsy performing live, I was ready to be in awe of their brutal command of the stage. Songs like "The Wretch", "Swing the Axe", or their brilliant cover of Lamb of God, "Walk With Me In Hell," were songs that I was familiar with at the time. So, I was excited to come to this show with little to no expectations, just eager to soak it all in.

Fit For An Autopsy

Fit For An Autopsy kicked off their set with "Lower Purpose," which is a wicked good track from their last album, The Nothing That Is. I was hoping to hear "The Wretch," "Far From Heaven," and "Heads Will Hang." I was excited to hear this block of songs: "The Wretch" > "Hostage" > "Savior of None/Ashes of All." Ending the set, Fit For An Autopsy nailed it and made me an incredibly happy camper with their track of the night, "Far From Heaven" from their crushing 2022 release, Oh What The Future Holds.

Check out Fit For An Autopsy's setlist from this evening below:

"Lower Purpose"

"It Comes for You"

"The Wretch"

"Hostage"

"Savior of None/Ashes of All"

"Far From Heaven"

In Flames is a heavy metal/melodic death metal/alternative metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, that has been active since 1990. In Flames has released fourteen (14) LPs, two (2) live albums, eight (8) EPs, thirty-one (31) singles, two (2) video albums, and forty-six (46) music videos in their historic career. In Flames currently consists of Anders Friden (lead vocals), Bjorn Gelotte (guitars), Chris Broderick (guitars), Jon Rice (drums), and Liam Wilson (bass/backing vocals). In Flames is rightfully considered one of the most influential bands in the metalcore and melodic death metal genres to date.

In Flames

In Flames took the stage at The Eastern, and the crowd went wild cheering on these Swedish metal juggernauts. I was thrilled when In Flames went old school to start off their set with their song "Colony" from their 1999 release, Colony. Out of all the bands on this tour, I was surprised that I had never caught In Flames on tour. I was glad that I finally solved this issue. I was hoping that In Flames would play "Ordinary Story," "Cloud Connected," "Scorn," "Only for the Weak," or "Artifacts of the Black Rain."

I knew that since In Flames has a massive discography, it would be hard for In Flames to squeeze songs from each album into an hour-long set. I knew that I would be happy regardless of what was performed. During this set, I was overjoyed when In Flames played "Meet Your Maker" < "Cloud Connected" < "Behind Space" < "Only for the Weak" in a killer four-song block in the middle of this unforgettable set. For my first In Flames show, I can confidently say that this performance by the legendary Swedes had my full attention from start to finish. I cannot wait for the next time In Flames hits the tour circuit in North America.

Check out this wicked setlist chock-full of bangers from the legendary In Flames below:

"Colony"

"Deliver Us"

"In the Dark"

"Meet Your Maker"

"Cloud Connected"

"Behind Space"

"Only for the Weak"

"The Mirror's Truth"

"I Am Above"

"Take This Life"

Head over to In Flames' webstore and see what they have to offer: limited edition vinyl records, T-shirts, hats, and hoodies.

Trivium

Trivium is a heavy metal/metalcore/thrash metal/progressive metal band from Orlando, Florida, that has been active since 1999. Trivium has released eleven (11) LPs, three (3) EPs, forty-six (46) singles, thirty-eight (38) music videos, two (2) demos, and three (3) other appearances. Trivium currently consists of Matt Heafy (guitars/lead vocals), Alex Rudinger (drums/percussion), Corey Beaulieu (guitars/unclean backing vocals), and Paolo Gregoletto (bass/clean backing vocals). Trivium's latest album, The Crown In The Grave, will be released via Roadrunner Records on November 20, 2026.

The time had finally arrived for Trivium to take the stage on their headlining The Crown In The Grave Tour. Heafy came out on stage with the rest of the band at The Eastern wearing his traditional Somen samurai mask like he was ready for combat. Since Trivium was releasing The Crown In The Grave later this month, I was eager to not only hear some older tracks from their discography, but also to hear some new tracks from this upcoming album. Kicking off the set, Trivium went right into playing songs from the new album with the first two opening tracks: "Jorogumo" > "Crown In The Grave." Personally, I was hoping to hear "Like Light to the Flies," "The Heart From Your Hate," "Catastrophist," "Shogun," and "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr."

Trivium

Something unusual did transpire near the end of the third song of their set, "The Sin & The Sentence," when Heafy immediately stopped playing after noticing some people in the pit motioning for help. Heafy quickly went into rescue mode, requesting house lights and assistance for the people in the pit. And he made sure that the concertgoer was transported out of the venue safely for treatment. Mad respect to Heafy and the Trivium crew for taking the time to ensure all their fans are safe during their performance.

After the coast was clear, Trivium ripped into a savage live version of "The End of Everything | Rain." As the set went further, I was pleased to hear a few of the tracks that I hoped Trivium would play on this tour stop, like "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr," "Like Light to the Flies," and "The Heart from Your Hate." Overall, since this was my first time seeing Trivium perform live, this was a fantastic way to finally introduce myself to the music of Trivium. And what an incredible opportunity to get the chance to watch Heafy and the squad work their magic for the fans in Atlanta with a wicked good setlist.

Check out this incredible career-spanning setlist from 11/6/2026 at The Eastern in Atlanta below:
