Biography

From Maine to Florida

Beaulieu attended high school at Foxcroft Academy in Maine where he played ice hockey. While attending college, Beaulieu had heard that Trivium was in search for a new Co-lead guitarist. Though doubtful he tried out anyway, much to his disbelief he had joined that band and ultimately made a name for himself.

Trivium

Alongside Matt Heafy, Beaulieu is currently the lead guitarist in Trivium, joining the band after their first album "Ember to Inferno" (2003) as a result of Matt realising they needed a second guitarist. Matthew Kiichi Heafy (born January 26, 1986 in Iwakuni, Japan) also known as Matt Heafy is the Lead vocalist and Ember to Inferno is the first album from Floridian heavy metal band Trivium.

Trivium recently released their 3rd Album "The Crusade" on October 10, 2006 through Roadrunner Records. The Crusade is the third studio album by metal band Trivium which was released on October 10, 2006 through Roadrunner Records Events 680 - Battle of Karbala: Shia Imam Husayn bin Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is decapitated Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Recently in an interview with music channel "Scuzz" Corey informed fans they could expect a new album by summer/winter 2008 although no particular date or target has been set as of yet[1]

Influences

Beaulieu cites Alex Skolnick, Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammet Marty Friedman, Dimebag Darrell and George Lynch as influences. Alex Skolnick (born September 29, 1968, grew up in Berkeley California) is an American jazz and metal Guitarist. David Scott Mustaine (born September 13, 1961 in La Mesa, California USA) is the lead/rhythm Guitarist, Songwriter Kirk Lee Hammett (born November 18, 1962) is the Lead guitarist and a songwriter in the band Metallica and has been a member of the band George Lynch (born September 28 1954 is a Hard rock guitarist best known as a member of the band Dokken.

Equipment

Guitars

In the past Beaulieu used mainly Jackson guitars such as the Jackson KV-2 Blue Ghost Flames finish (as seen in Roadrunner United bonus DVD) and DX10D series occasionally using a B. C Rich Warlock and a Blue Ibanez guitar, until Rita Haney, partner of 20 years to Dimebag Darrell gave him and Matt Heafy each one of Dimebag's famous Razorbacks and in 2005 were endorsed by Dean Guitars, Beaulieu currently sporting the first ever made red Razorback V. This Razorback V is metallic red with the Trivium circle logo placed between the bridge and neck pickups and is also fitted with a Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo and a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker.

He has also befriended Dimebag's family since his death, and was even invited by Rita and Vinnie Paul to play with Vinnie and Rex for a few songs with the band "Gasoline". Dimebag is also one of his major influences. [3]
