The Trivium Thread, Bitches

[FlyingPaul_83]

2 albums.He pretty much uses harsh vocals in all their songs.

ember to inferno
Ascendancy

[Josh]

i might get Ascendancy, i think the 3 songs i have already are off that album - Pull Harder...., Rain, Like Light to the Flies.

[FlyingPaul_83]

would you like me to upload the album?

[Josh]

no its alright thanks, i'll feel better if i buy it...besides, i wont have time to listen to it as i'm going on holiday tomorrow.

[burn_my_eyes]

mmm Matt Heafy is gorgeous

lol

awesome guitarist too!

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Please tell me you are female! :p

He is an incredible guitarist especially at such a young age.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Rain is my new favorite song.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Hmmm... to me Trivium's "Ascension" is fairly samey... all the songs seem to follow a similar theme. Plus, I don't really like the screaming on the album.

However, I saw them live at Download and they kicked arse. Seriously. The scream was vastly better, in fact every element of their songs was pulled off with a great degree of showmanship and skill.

I hope that Triviums next and third album will include a more evolved and varied sound... if so then I will consider myself a fan. Until then they are a band with a lot of potential and some talent that need not go to waste.

[Endless Obsession]

Jeez, i didnt realize how young this band was. That makes them so much better, they already were one of my favorite bands.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Rain is my new favorite song.

The opening of Rain reminds me of Slayer "Silent Scream" so much. CLASSIC

[Endless Obsession]

Yeah I just listened to both of them, haha, its so true. A lot of my favorite bands seem to be highly influenced by Slayer. Lamb of God especially.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Lamb of God definitely has those dark, evil sounding riffs that give off the Slayer vibe. If you want to be reminded of Slayer, get Darkest Hour's new CD Undoing Ruin, and check out tracks 3 and 8. They could've been off Reign in bLood!

[FlyingPaul_83]

Hold on, I'll upload the videos now, it might take some tme though.

[hethamulburton]

Does Trivium do screaming for vocals? I'm looking for bands that are new that don't scream A LOT, some is ok but not like Hate Eternal and stuff like that.

[FlyingPaul_83]

They use harsh vocals quite a lot. They don't have crazy metalcore screams though. Their clean singing is very good. If you can get past thge screaming, they are a very good band. They have awesome guitar melodies and such. If you wait a little while you can download a video from them, hold on.

Like light to the flies video:
http://s14.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=043DK9XHKIEEV25FN7FQ6TUWR7

[hethamulburton]

They do leads and solos and stuff too, that's a big thing for me.

[FlyingPaul_83]

oh yeah they do some awesome lead work, although some of their the solos seem lifeless.

[Thrashmother]

how many albums do Trivium have, just the one? and does he use the screaming-type vocals in all songs? i'm thinking of getting an album.
They have 2 albums to my knowledge but may have more that i dont know about. he does use screaming in nearly all his songs

[Wish]

They have 2 albums to my knowledge but may have more that i dont know about. he does use screaming in nearly all his songs
They have 2 full length albums, yes and a 7 track demo released in 2003.

Just found out today that I'm seeing them with All That Remains for the second time in September :D

[flam_flam]

i love trivium i think they're great, and was shocked to find out today that the singer, matt heafy is only 19.

[MC5]

for being so young they are alot better than most of the other bands out there i mean they blow away jet and blink 182. theyre just insanly good for being so young. i'm trying to figure out a shot to the head of trepeadation but after the first couple of riffs i'm blown away by it.

[hethamulburton]

Blink guys are old dude. plus metal usually blows away punk or copied stuff easy.

[chops]

i'm seeing them this coming wednesday with shadows fall, in flames and mudvayne. i can't wait

[FlyingPaul_83]

i'm trying to figure out a shot to the head of trepeadation but after the first couple of riffs i'm blown away by it.


I orgasm everytime I hear that song. My god its so good. Best album of 2005 IMO

[punchenello]

it said on their site forums that they were shooting a video for a gunshot to the head of trepidation. im pretty excited for it.

[punchenello]

i might get Ascendancy, i think the 3 songs i have already are off that album - Pull Harder...., Rain, Like Light to the Flies.

deffinatly get it all the other songs rawk too.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I really wanna see the gunshot to the head of trepidation video.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Yeah it says on their site it will be up soon, but unfortunately they had to use an abbreviated version of the song for the video. Its supposed to kick *** though

[Wish]

My copy of Ascendancy came today. I'm mightly impressed with it.

[NPYYZ]

I just checked out a couple tracks from Ascendancy, The music is fantastic, the clean vocals are excellent, but the screaming ruins it for me. I wish these newer bands would stop that screaming crap and just sing. They reminded me of Killswitch Engage, another band that can rock hard but ruin it all with the screaming yelling type vocals.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I love the screamed vocals, they make the music more intense. KsE and Trivium have some of the best screamed vocals around

[FlyingPaul_83]

At first I waas not a fan of screaming vocals, but I gave it a try, and I like the vocals now, like kittensinmicrowaves said, it makes the music more intense. Drowned and torn asunder is just incredible, i can't stop listening to it.

[Shattered_Future]

I love the screamed vocals, they make the music more intense. KsE and Trivium have some of the best screamed vocals around

I wouldn't say Trivium has the BEST...they're pretty generic screams.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

What band do you think has the best screamed vocals (i.e. any harsh vox outside of death vox)?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I 2nd that question. I think that both KsE and Trivium have awesome harsh vocals. I can't think of anyone with better screams and growls.

[Mr Benners]

After being deterred by the HIDEOUS advert I saw on TV for them, I checked them out and HOLY **** are they good. The riffs, the vocals, THE SOLOS, everything. Fantastic modern band, and proof that metal is just as good as it has ever been.

[deathscreamingsheep]

IMO the Trivium scream isn't all that great. But their live version is much better. Less generic, more anguished and just generally far more powerful.

[Panvium]

Yea trivium is awesome, My favorite song from them is Rain. Matt's scream is well done, i like it. Them and Pantera are my favorite bands (hint: Panvium, real crative :rolleyes: but oh well)

[Wish]

It doesn't matter.

Yeah, Rain is a real good song. It's probably my favourite track on Ascendancy. I learned it today :cool:

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Rain is similar to Silent Scream by Slayer.

[Panvium]

I got a guitar world magazine and it shows Matt and Corey playing parts of Rain on the cd. its pretty cool also has the guys from KSE, In Flames and alexi laiho playing some riffs from there songs.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Still gotta see them live!!!!

[burn_my_eyes]

Please tell me you are female! :p

lol yes im female

[FlyingPaul_83]

Rain is awesome, but Drowned an torn asunder is the greatest thing I've ever heard. I love evrything about that song. My favorite solo from that album.

[bigdudedrummr07]

Trivium is not metal its emo

[slaybial-destructor]

^^^
how mad is the bit where matt sings "deconstructing their hold - our vengeance will be tenfold" ??? that part just makes me go awesome, the singing is so good, and the little guitar riff under the vocals... simple yet sooo effective

wouldnt u agree?

btw i think the song ascendancy is fairly bland... anyone's thoguhts?

[Shattered_Future]

What band do you think has the best screamed vocals (i.e. any harsh vox outside of death vox)?

Dark Tranquillity. Stanne's voice has an unprecedented harshness to it.

At first I thought ascendancy was the best song on the album, but after listening to all the other songs, it's ok. It's not the worst song on the album(dying in your arms), but it's no where near as good as gunshot, drowned, and rain.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Dark Tranquillity. Stanne's voice has an unprecedented harshness to it.

Eh, Stanne's sounds like he is trying to do a death growl.... I'm not impressed with it, I think its too deep.... without being a death growl

But they area good band, just not a fan of his vocals

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Trivium is not metal its emo

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Well he is a big dude and he plays the drums, maybe we should listen to him.

oh yeah, die u loser

[Agitator01]

Trivium are playing near me in September, I have heard alot about them on MX and was concidering going to see them... Could someone please offer me some recommendations so I can decide. It would be much appreciated.

[Blanka Flip]

I think the music Trivium brings back is awesome... But I can't get into to them because of the vocals... The vocals just sound like every other band that is suppost to be "bringing back metal".

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Matt Heafy does a lot of interesting things vocal wise. He growls, he half sings/ half yells, he sings in different voices.... talented dude

[\m/Pete\m/]

young, talented dude

I love that opening riff in Suffocating Sight

[headbang&mosh]

iceberg, listen to a gunshot to the trepidation and pull harder on the strings of your martyr, both good songs.

[Mekkalayakay]

I've heard a few samples of them. No full songs though. And I can't say that I am impressed. :-/ But I'm heading over to the yousendit thread to investigate more.

If I do not like Shadows Fall, will I not enjoy Trivium either?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I've never heard any of shadows fall, so I don't know, but here is one of tyhe coolest songs ever created, that just so happens to be by trivium, check it out, it awesome. :thumb:

I was listening to Dying In Your Arms yesterday, and it just dawned upon me that it sounds like New Found Glory. Not meaning that in a bad way, just the lead bit in the chorus reminds me of something NFG would do.

[iBENezrocker]

I've not heard them but apparently theres loadsa hype about them like theyre the next metallica and stuff, dont know if that means musically or "bigness" (famous, well known, nest big thing, you get the picture)

[FlyingPaul_83]

I don't consider them the new metallica, but they are very talented and young.

Hey I didn't write it dude, the magazines did. Trivium still has a long way to go but they are immensely popular for a band with only 2 albums released so far.

[Yppolitia]

The singer is described as a James Hetfield look-a-like.

[deathscreamingsheep]

As much as Trivium are a promising young band I really do not consider them the next metallica. People should not really associate bands as the next whatever because no band is going to be another metallica... and if they are they will just be sh*t copyers.

Trivium have a good niche at the moment in the metal market at the moment, combining ever-popular metalcore with thrash- something metal fans have been screaming for to return for ages.

What will really decide Trivium for me will be their next (and third) album. If they simply produce another Ascendancy I will not be very happy. Ascendancy was OK, but a lot of the songs on it were very similar and with the all-too-often-seen scream verse/ whiny clean chorus- something that IMO could do with being scrapped for the next album. If Trivium can keep their intensity and talent along with evolving in their next album then you can count me as a big fan.

Coincidentally I am seeing them again in Septemeber, whatever the faults of their first two albums they are still a great live band.

[Itwasthatwas]

[Mekkalayakay]

Trivium will be the next Shadows Fall in popularity. I doubt anything more.

[Itwasthatwas]

Trivium will be the next Shadows Fall in popularity. I doubt anything more.

Agreed. Roadrunner is trying to make them seem far more revolutionary than they are with their incessant promotional campaigns, upholding them as "the next metallica", and "the saviors of metal". While Trivium is one of my personal favorite bands, and has been for quite some time now, they are not doing anything new, simply putting stronger flesh on old bones. There is no way they could leave an imprint on the metal community to the degree that Metallica did unless they get off the metalcore (if particularly thrashy metalcore) wagon. Besides which, there's almost no hope of music like this breaking into the mainstream, unless they sell out and release an entire album of generic anthemic radio rock like "Dying in Your Arms", which again won't happen if anything the band has been revealing about the new material they are working on is true.

[Shred Danson]

unless they get off the metalcore (if particularly thrashy metalcore) wagon

I don't see that happening. They're already great at the music they play, why should they switch? Metalcore isn't as bad a genre as everybody makes it out to be these days. I mean, ever since grunge and nu-metal happened, everyone seems to go "ohhh new genre, every new band is a bad bandwagon-jumping generic band". It's like, come on, not every new genre of metal sucks. Nobody complained when thrash first got big.

A gunshot to the head of treipdation is such an awesome song.

About 4 minutes into it they do this old school metal anthem thing. Where they keep saying HEY........HEY.......HEY. So cool to see them going old school metal. You guys know the part I am talking about?

Actually, their next album if anything I've been hearing will be heavier and more technical, less clean choruses..... we'll see. Their vocals are far too heavy to ever break into the mainstream. They can get as popular as Shadows Fall and Killswitch, and the average human being in America hasn't heard of either of those bands anyway.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Well that can only be taken in a bad way. This is one of the reasons I don't like Trivium that much. I know what this guy is talking about...

Dying in Your Arms is not indicative of Trivium's trademark sound. It was an experimental song, and the band has said they will not make something like that again. To not like them for that is absurd

[Dread_rocker]

Trivium are ok, I saw them at Download and they blow everyone away. But I don't see why on many magazines and website it says "SABBATH, MAIDEN, METALLICA and now TRIVIUM" and suddenly they are greatest metal band on earth right now??

If you listen to any new school metal save for some power metal, there's gonna be screaming...I suggest you should get used to it.

I STILL don't see anything special about Trivium... :confused:

I wouldn't bother with the close-mided types that enter this thread. Some people are idiots, and judge a band by one song. Good for them, let them revel in their ignorance...

Only think I hate about this band is the screaming. i can't stand screaming

I'd get used to it, my friend. Screaming, whether you realize it or not, in all forms has been quite the integral part of metal music for the past, say 15 years. Be it Black Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death, some thrash, or metalcore, you're going to hear screaming. I'd just focus on the music.

[killa_bees77]

Matt Heafy actually went to my middle school the whole time I was there so I saw him around a lot. Trivium played the talent show when i was in 7th grade and they played "No Leaf Clover" from Metallica. I remember it sucking because of his vocals (he didnt actually 'sing' the song, more of growled/screamed it which i didnt like) but wow looks like this band has grown a lot since then! (he's only a year ahead of me so that would be about 6 years ago)

I don't personally like their music too much but they've DEFINITELY improved since back in our middle school days

Liar.

Trivium formed in 2000 after the band's original singer saw Heafy perform the Offspring's "Self Esteem" with a drummer at his high school talent show. The band members chose the name Trivium, which is Latin for the intersection between the three schools of learning: grammar, rhetoric and logic, because they liked the way it implied an open-mindedness to different styles, and summed up their musical aesthetic. After a couple of gigs at parties, the original singer quit the band and Heafy took the wheel.

One of the best show's I've ever seen. He played the solo from "Like Light To The Flies" in my face. It was amazing.

[Josue]

Real good new band, I especially Like the track "Rain". You really can hear the old thrash influence, just compare the structure of the riffs compared to other metalcore bands like Unearth- which is more hardcore orientated. Trivium even move on stage like the old thrash bands did. top stuff

[Josue]

Oh, and I'm not saying Trivium are metalcore, because they're not, they're metal. I've been waiting ages for a band with the line up and influence behind these guys.

[killa_bees77]

hey man its just an opinion. i dont know that it is but something about them comes off as cheesy. maybe its the singing or i dont know. but you know what i am downloading ascendancy right now so i can have a better idea of what these guys sound like because up to now i've only heard their old stuff and i've heard the new stuff is a lot better.

Im gonna be straight up and honest, I don't like Trivium but I accept that they are much more talented on their instruments than probaly most other metal bands. However, this does not make thewir music better than all other metal bands, being fast on a guitar doesn't mean you can write amazing riffs. Ascendancy should not be compared to Ride The Lighting, not because its not as good (IMO its not though) but because it is two different bands and styles. I'd say the vocals probaly are what bring them down the most and some of the music is rather empty at places.

yeah i agree after listening to Ascendancy, the vocals are horrible. Other than that the music is pretty good, nothing TOTALLY amazing but definitely some of the best in the new-school metal genre right now. I just wish Matt's vocals were better.

Vocals are awesome IMO.... just take some getting used to

[FlyingPaul_83]

123, The vocals are superb. Anyone who doesn'y like screming vocals, just try it out. Try listening to songs the whole way through and you should get used to it. That's what I did, and know I like harsh vocals.

[Shred Danson]

Hey, no flamage in here guys. At least try something original when you want to slam the band instead of repeating every other negative post in this thread.

[FlyingPaul_83]

has anyone here seen them at ozzfest? How long was thier set? did they kick ***?

[Reflection]

That was the only thing he said about school in this thread... I think you're a bit of a retard... :rolleyes:


Uh, how about before you go calling people retards you make sure you know what you're talking about:


Matt Heafy actually went to my middle school the whole time I was there so I saw him around a lot. Trivium played the talent show when i was in 7th grade and they played "No Leaf Clover" from Metallica. I remember it sucking because of his vocals (he didnt actually 'sing' the song, more of growled/screamed it which i didnt like) but wow looks like this band has grown a lot since then! (he's only a year ahead of me so that would be about 6 years ago)


That's just embarasing buddy.

Completely true.

I don't mind people not liking black metal, obviously (some people can respect other's opinions, guys :eek: ) but Trivium fans disrespecting the entire BM genre is really funny, since real black metal conveys atmosphere and emotion that these crappy new bands could never dream of.

I'm extremely hungover right now, so don't even bother quoting this post, chasing an arguement so that you can spew out your latest learned 8-syllable word in a zeal of pseudo-intellectualism.

Yes, I just realized. :p

As for the Trivium deal, I never said that they don't. I'm just saying that the emotion someone can feel bursting from the speakers with black metal, is nearly orgasmic for some, whereas even the most dedicated Trivium fan will never experience the same with a Trivium album.

I'm so hungover that I'm forgetting the start of setences that I'm finnishing off. :(

Um, you ****ing dolt.

You're the one instantly disrespecting the people that don't like Trivium, and all you're basing it on is their opinion of the band.

The people in here that made comments about black metal were much worse, and less educated. But you've just missed them out, strangely enough.

"Constructive criticism" is the stupidest ****ing thing ever. Do you idiots really need the criticism re-worded for you? We can't say "Trivium play terrible music", instead you require us to say "Trivium should start playing good music"?

Not liking Trivium does not make you closed minded! You large bundle of sticks!

I love the new swear filter.

[Shred Danson]

No, the thing is, we've heard "Trivium suck" so many times it gets old. And as I said before, this is a Trivium thread for Trivium FANS. If you read my first post, you'd see I was pretty much predicting that at some time, some elitist idiot would do exactly what I just said would happen ("what a gay thread HAHAHAHAHA").


You're the one instantly disrespecting the people that don't like Trivium, and all you're basing it on is their opinion of the band.

And they're the ones instantly disrespecting Trivium. Are you getting the point? You don't just go into a band thread and say "this band sucks, hahaha gay thread lol1246ownerz". It's idiotic. The same thing goes for the official threads, the death heads thread, the Titans of Thrash thread, etc, etc...just blatant flamage isn't tolerated in this forum (read the rules).

Not liking Trivium does not make you closed minded! You large bundle of sticks!

See, now you're putting words in my mouth. What makes them so close-minded is that they automatically have to come in here and diss people's musical tastes. I'm not talking smack about other people's preferences. A couple of kids did in return, yeah, they're idiots, but both groups should be ignored.

People instantly disrespect Trivium, because they think it's a crappy band, and have good reasons to. My point was that you instantly disrespect the non-Trivium fans that are, in your perception "closed minded", yet you ignore the totally and blatantly uneducated comments about Black Metal, from the Trivium fans. That isn't really fair.

[Ashmalech]

It was Trivium that really got me into metal. From that i've branched out to all kinds of stuff so naturaly I like Trivium a lot although personaly i think i have found better bands that is my opinion and i'm not about to start saying "Trivium sucks" because they don't. Even if you dont like them it is merely your opinion and you can't have a go at us for liking them.

Accept our opinions and move on, if you don't like the band don't post here or post here once making your view known in a polite and constructive manner like ICB said. Does our liking this music affect you in the slightest? So why do you feel the need to have a go at us for it? If you don't like the way we feel... deal with it and go elsewhere where it can't bother you.

Also what has this got to do with people saying stuff about black metal? If you don't like people doing it to your music then dont do it to theirs. (I happen to like black metal myself, actually i prefer it to trivium, so you can't tell me I'm biased against black metal fans)

[pep]

Hey I was wondering who do you think is a better guitarist, Matt or Corey?

Theyre both awesome, but what do you think?

[Endless Obsession]

Hey I was wondering who do you think is a better guitarist, Matt or Corey?

Matt. His solos SOUND better to me. They are also faster. Plus he plays while singing which has always impressed me.

[Trivium]

I can play trivium stuff and sing at the same time, I can for any band.

But ive found that coreys solos are much more technical, and the style is clearly different than matts. Ive learned just about all of them. Matts normally sound better and are more in your face, but coreys are a bitch to learn.

Like light to the flies for example, the first solo is corey's and I find it much harder than the second one which is matts. Though matts sounds better.

[FlyingPaul_83]

the rough recording of the decieved on ETI sounds way different than the final song on ascendancy

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Lead guitar wise, I'd say Corey. People here seem to like Matt's solos better but I prefer Corey's solos since they are more technical and more shred-like. Matt's style is more Metallica-like in my opinion. For example in Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr, the first solo is Matt's less technical solo then it goes into Corey's solo with the harmonized sweep arpreggios

[Trivium]

way to like copy what I said using a different song

but good job, emphasizing the point

[Reflection]

I actually didn't read your post but yeah haha they are pretty much the same.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I like to listen to ascendancy when i go to sleep, it's a good cd for that.

[xxTRIVIUMxx]

Trivium is what got me into metal also...I used to be into punk and even...rap :(, but then i heard Like Light To The Flies and thought...that was freaking amazing! Since then Ive started to listen to more metal and hardcore and yeah...i like it.

As far as who is better Matt or Corey... I think It'd have to be Matt Heafy. I mean they are both amazing but Matt's solo on Like light to Flies is faster and i just seem to like it better BUT I think Corey can shred better than Mattand he's a little more technical, like on Pull Harder...I think theyre best song is Dying in your arms probably becasue i can play all of itbecuase all their other solos are really fast and...im not =/ but yeah...Trivium is amazing, hence the username ;)

[FlyingPaul_83]

I hate dying in your arms, so dumb, it's the black sheep of the album, I'm not gonna call it a filler, cause i don't think it is, but it just sounds nothing like them.

[xxTRIVIUMxx]

I didnt mean to say i like it, i was just saying that its alot easier than everything else on the album. Sorry about the misunderstanding. My favorite song on ascendency would have to be the decieved (spelling?) but a gunshot to the head of trepidation is pretty cool also...

[FlyingPaul_83]

oh ok, My Fav song off of ascendancy has to Drowned and torn asunder, and My fave off of ETI has to be either my hatred or when all the light dies.

[Daven]

I've heard a lot of good things about this band, and i have wanted to check them out a lot time ago, but i always forget it. Now that im listening your comments im eager of checking them out. Im downloading some of their songs tight now to check them out. Hopefully i'll like them. Wish me luck :thumb:

[FlyingPaul_83]

good luck

tell me what songs you downloaded

[Daven]

Im downloaing just four to check them out. If i like them i will download a lot more. The ones im downloading are :My Hatred, Fugue, Like Light to flys, Gunshot to the head of trepidation

[FlyingPaul_83]

all great songs you should enjoy them :)

I'll upload a couple of songs for you

[disposition]

Is this band any good? Im really into metal, is Trivium more into the metal side of rock or is it, no offense to anyone, like that screamo **** thats plastured everywhere? My friend recomends them, but hes known to like crap from time to time. So I would like an honest opinion, and an album recomendation would be nice as well. Are they along the lines of Lamb of God and Shadows Fall, or are they totally different? thanks

[FlyingPaul_83]

they are along the lines of lamb og god and shadows fall, but they have melodic chruses, dueling guitars, and great drumming(not saying those bands don't)

do you have AIM? cause I can send you an album of theirs.

[devildriver421]

And they also have great solos, I'm not sure if you meant that by dueling guitars or if you just meant in the verses and stuff.

And Daven, like light to the flies is a great solo, especially the solo in it. they have really emotional solos in all their songs, but they can shred a bit too.

[disposition]

i think i do, but i might have to register as a new user. ill keep your name tag'd cuz i gotta go, but yes im interested in hearing their stuff.

[FlyingPaul_83]

ok, My aim is edirbcmleba :thumb:

matt heafy the lead singer screams verses, but has an amazing and catchy singing voice for chorus's. The screaming grows on you. If you dont like it, the amazing instrumentals compensate.

Songs:

-like light to the flies
-pull harder on the strings of your martyr
-rain
-dying in your arms (calm song)
-A gunshot to the head of trepedation
-ember to inferno
-requiem

I can't stop listening to this band.

I would kill to see them live. They're coming for ozzfest, but it's on a ****ing tuesday. :angry: So even if I went after school, I would miss all the bands I want to see(mastodon,trivium, arch enemy), and see the mainstage :shrug:

Second Stage > Mainstage

[Scuba_Steve]

I love trivium.


People always talk about how much they suck and that they're overrated and it's all BS.
They have fantastic guitarists, and amazing drummer, you can't really hear the bass but the only thing they fall a bit short on is singing, we know matt can SING so why does he always scream?

[kurt98]

I just picked up their cd "ascendency" this week. It's sucha great CD, it's really awesome from beginning to finish. My favourite track right now would definetly be Pull Harder on the String of You Martyr, it's freaken wicked. At first when I started getting into metal, I didn't dig the screaming vocals, but I somehow adapted to them, and now love screaming. I love bands like Shadows Fall, CoB, LoG, Unearth etc. AND OF COURSE TRIVIUM! Heh, yeah they are really great. Really awesome music.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I think I'm going to reserve my judgement on these guys until the next album still and see how they perform, but they've definately got my support for live shows. I've now seen them live twice (Download and Roadrage), both times they've pulled everything out of the bag and completely thrashed and trashed the audience completely.

trivium are an awesome band had the album 4 bout 3 weeks and im luvin it yeh its a bit simillar to some stuff like killswitch engage and avenged sevenfold but there is no way u can diss any band cos they sound a bit simillar to another (personally i think they soud different but i listen to a lot of this genre) ive heard so many people slaggin this band off tht i get pretty pissed of wiv em its absolutely gr8 and ascendancy i think is a must hav album

not me, I love how they like duel with their guitars, you can hear it well in suffocating sight. I think matt plays the first part of his solo, the corey plays a wah solo, and then matt finishes his solo. awesome :thumb:

I saw them tonight in San Diego, and what I really love is how they respect their fans. On their website, their pictures page is full of pictures with fans, and they were out after Mudvayne (headliner) played, selling t-shirts and meeting fans. I met Matt Heafy and I gained a lot of respect for them tonight. They're obviously not trying to be bigger than the music.

Does the majority of MX still continue to indulge in such faggotry? Ha!

[killswitch21]

there very good at what they do, the screaming doesn't get me that excited but the rest of the music is awesome, but are they better than lamb of god or killswitch engage??? i think not.

Says the person with Killswitch in their handle, what were we to expect.

Anyway, Trivium are probably my favourite band at the moment, along with Chimaira, gotta love a nice bit o' metal :D

Paul, you should check out this band Dead to Fall, they rule.... a little off topic of Trivium, but you seem to have a similar taste in metal to me, you might like them

[FlyingPaul_83]

Dead to fall?

sure I'll try em out.

I just got the cd in your avatar, it's very awesome.

Yeah its one of my faves, Darkest Hour have picked up the slack for the Swedish bands that have gotten lame lately (Soilwork, In Flames, etc.)

[crag]

is it true that trivium's show at glasgow on the 16th september is sold out?

[Josh]

Trivium is going on tour with Children of bodom!
/would kill to get ticket.

i bought Ascendancy the other week, its an amazing album, i couldn't pick a best song because IMO they're all great, although my favourites are Rain, Ascendancy, A Gunshot to the head of trepidation, Pull Harder..., dying in your arms and Like light to the flies.

[NEVRMORE2]

I really like the band. I have heard several songs like My Hatred, Fugue and Like Light to flys. My Hatred is my favorite. I plan on getting both Ascendancy and Ember to Inferno once I get some cash.
yeah there been alot of talk that there the next metallica i really like trivium there one of the few bands who still do solos and i really like the choruses to most of there song especially "pull harder"
