Corey King Beaulieu (born November 22, 1983) is the lead guitarist, of American heavy metal band Trivium. He also performs lead and backing unclean vocals for the band at live shows.
Born in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Beaulieu is the second of two siblings in the Beaulieu family. His older sister, Sandy, lives in Maine and works with horses. He is of French-Canadian descent.
Corey attended high school at Foxcroft Academy in Maine where he played ice hockey. He studied guitar with Bill Pierce at the world famous Mark's Music in Brewer for 4 years. He was said to be the fastest shredder to study with Bill. "He worked harder than anyone I ever worked with." says Pierce.
He was asked to join Trivium when he tried out for the band, after the release of their first album Ember to Inferno in 2003. Corey primarily plays Lead Guitar, but he shares lead/rhythm guitar duties with bandmate Trivium frontman Matt Heafy playing some of the lead and melody sections when performing live. He is also a primary supporting vocalist in Trivium.
He performed backing vocals for Taking Dawn in 2010. Later, in 2011, Beaulieu performed guest vocals on Maine metal band Rebirth To End's song "The Weakness Randomization."
Beaulieu cites Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Iommi, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Alex Skolnick, Kirk Hammett, Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine, John Petrucci, Jeff Waters, Dimebag Darrell, Slash, and George Lynch as his primary influences.
