Bad Omens have just landed their fifth gold single for 'Limits', a bonus track from the deluxe version of their 2019 album, 'Finding God Before God Finds Me'.

Certified by the RIAA, gold signifies a total of 500,000 units sold. Outside of traditional physical/digital sales, the certifications factor in digital streams/downloads with 10 permanent track downloads counting as 1 unit and 1500 on-demand audio/video streams from a particular album also counting as as a unit. 150 streams of a song also equate to a track-equivalent unit.

Trivium appear to have returned to the studio to work on some new material.

In a post on Instagram, frontman Matt Heafy shared "The four of us are back in the studio! Got any messages for us? Leave em here."

The band released their 'Struck Dead' EP just a few months ago in October 2025, though fans speculate that this trip to the studio is to begin working on a full-length to follow-up their 2021 LP, 'In The Court Of The Dragon'.

More details will be confirmed as they develop.
