The Trivium Thread, Bitches

[Cousin_Ed]

yeah there been alot of talk that there the next metallica

I dont really think they sound anything like metallica, and meaning the next metal band to break through the mainstream barrier, that wont happen either, mainstream listeners won't like the vocals for one. The ryhtym guitars is more amon amarth, listen to ancient sign of a storm coming and you will see its very simular, definatly not the tone but rythym is very simular. I also find there lead breakoffs to be simular to inflames if anything. and the vocals are screamo-emo if anything >_< but ive never really listened to metal for the vocals, there are exceptions like bruce in my avatar however >_>.
/end opinion

Sorry if this goes against what anyone says.

I got there album expecting something metallica-esque aswell, not finding that in my opinion, which ive just pointed out, but however do enjoy acendency immensly. I dont think a new metallica will ever arise, because it is not the 1980s :naughty: However they are very awesome band. :thumb:

[Huber]

I'm going to try and get my tickets to see them when they come back to the US with there European homies.

[FlyingPaul_83]

with bodom?

I wish I could see them with Bodom, That would be incredible.....

[Huber]

Yes, with CoB and Amon Amarth. I can't wait. I hope I can go.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Gunshot video = awesome.

The dueling guitars towards the end is onr of my favorite parts on that whole album, I love it.

[loathed]

youre right gunshot vid is awesome. :thumb:

[FlyingPaul_83]

It's also kinda weird, cause like the people come out of nowhere and start chanting :lol:

so cheesy IMO.

[Shadows]

I'll be seeing these guys with Amon Amarth and Children of Bodom on November 12th as well. :cool:

[FlyingPaul_83]

Lucky, I wish I could see bodom with these guys......:upset:

[Itwasthatwas]

Gunshot video = awesome.

Pull Harder video was better made and less cheesy IMO.

[Endless Obsession]

Dont post in this gay thread.

[FlyingPaul_83]

why? this has been the biggest Trivium thread so far.

I wonder If they will do another video.

[Itwasthatwas]

Dont post in this gay thread.

Why not? Its been going for months.

[FlyingPaul_83]

what do you guys like more?

Matt's Black Les Paul or his Whit Les Paul?

[Endless Obsession]

Um post in my thread.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Porque?

[Endless Obsession]

Porque?

Because i spent time making it and I would like you to. Plus ICBdoesnt even come on anymore. Theres no reason not to except to spite me.

[FlyingPaul_83]

so we just stop posting in this one?

[Endless Obsession]

Yes.

[Itwasthatwas]

Because i spent time making it and I would like you to. Plus ICBdoesnt even come on anymore. Theres no reason not to except to spite me.

I do post in your thread too.

[Shred Danson]

/it was closed

And I guess I'm posting again, at least whenever I could find the time to.

Good write up though, bro :) You kicked my *** :(

So I guess if there is anymore Trivium dicussion, this is the place to go (for now, until someone decides to make me feel all small and such)...

[Arucard]

The reason why the other thread was closed was because it passed the 100 idiotic arguments limit of mx.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I think they got off the topic of Trivium in the other thread... but sometimes the mods get too strict on here IMO.

All the rules and strictness go against the very nature of metal IMO

[Arucard]

So rule 1 of the metal handbook : idiocy must run rife amongst metal fans?

[Josh]

obviously. i bought Ascendancy about a month ago, what an amazing album, should i get their first album as well?

[Yppolitia]

Maybe try downloading some of there songs from it if you have Limewire or similar. I have heard a few songs and the singing is alot weaker but the guitar is still cool, not as good as Ascendancy but nothing poor, its worth buying. Have a look at the review of it on Sputnik.

[SomeGuySomewhere]

The new Gunshot single, the riff under the Cory's solo is a Blackwater Park riff, along with that RTL rip. It's too similiar to not be called rip offs.

[Mr. Ron]

They are pretty good.

I prefer listening to Ember to Inferno over Ascendancy. There is something about Ascendancy that rubs me the wrong way.

I like both for their own reasons, though I definately prefer ascendancy.

[musicanity]

The intro song and "Rain", the first two songs off Ascendency are great. I love the intro to pull harder on the strings of your matryr. Other songs need a little improvement. good band though.

How you pulled 'airheads' out of that comment is beyond me

[Joe]

So, courtesy of Wish, I've become a huge trivium fan. Ascendency is a great album. I have a n00bish question, how many guitarists do they have? I have a feeling it's too but they have an Iron Maiden sort of guitar solo sectioning for guitarists and I just had a feeling their might be three.

they have 2 guitarists. I never thought of you as a fan of harsh vocals.

Anyone who rips off a Opeth riff deserves to be shot.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

So no one notices those obvious rip offs?

Their music sounds nothing like Opeth, to say they are an obvious rip off is just false. It is possible they wrote a riff that sounds similar not realizing Opeth had this riff, none of the band members strike me as Opeth listeners

nope doesn't look like they listen to opeth.

[Trivium]

amazing copy and paste skills you have there

and of course they dont. Im not going to insult opeth ad ive never really heard them

[FlyingPaul_83]

yeah Im good :p

I've never heard opeth either, so I wouldn't know if its a ripoff or not.

[mr black]

In terms of rip-off's, i think Trivium are really good for the time they've had. Although i havn't noticed these "riff rip-off's" some of their vocal melody's sound very similar to other songs even though i can't put my finger on them like the verse vocal lines in 'departure' and 'dying in your arms'.

[SomeGuySomewhere]

Their music sounds nothing like Opeth, to say they are an obvious rip off is just false. It is possible they wrote a riff that sounds similar not realizing Opeth had this riff, none of the band members strike me as Opeth listeners

I said riff not the music. Listen to the song Blackwater Park by Opeth, the riff after the acoustic section. Compare the two riffs, you will see what I mean. Funny how no one seems to try to refute my accusation of the RTL part either.

[Joe]

they have 2 guitarists. I never thought of you as a fan of harsh vocals.

Well I'm not, but I'm getting used to it. They're very good

[filter]

Hey I just downloaded bolth of their albums and hey hey I swear ive heard at least 5 albums that sound exactly the same as this sh1tty generic Metalcore band! The vocals are terrilble the screams and clean ones alike.They sound so fckin weak! The bass is inaudible but if you could hear it im sure it would be ****ty. The guitar riffs are weak as fcuk and have no emotion behind them. Matts solos are sh1tty they are the standard Metalcore solos mixed with some poorly played Thrash type solos. The only high point of the albums was Coreys solos he would be better off in a band that wasn't sh1tty. The drumming wasnt anything to get wet about either.

go away

[Huber]

I second the "go away" statement, except add "stop breathing and jump in a river" at the end.

[FlyingPaul_83]

yeh.


I like the little soft interlude songs on ETI. pretty cool.

The end of everything is awesome aswell.

[DaveTheAmazing]

Hello Trivium fans. My name is Dave and I like Trivium because i was watching the TV channel Scuzz and then they came on and i was like OMG it was the lolzords and I liked them lots so I'm gunna download a few songs and would to enquire as to which ones are best.

from "Ascendancy" i would recommend:
Dying in Your Arms
Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr
Rain
A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation
Like Light to the Flies

I listened to fugue and it was a good one

From Ember To Inferno I suggest:


Pillars Of Serpents
If I Could Collapse The Masses
To Burn The Eye
Falling To Grey
When All Light Dies

[TheGlassPrison]

Pillars Of Serpents

The worst metalcore band goes to As I lay Dying, the ****tiest riffage I've heard from a "talented" band. I only give their drummer some credit, but he over thinks his drumming way to much for it to flow with the music.

[Westicle]

The thing is, is that most Metalcore does sound different. Just like whatever you listen to you can actually tell the difference between each band...metalcore listeners can tell the difference between those bands. So shutup with the metal-core bashing stuff because honestly ide like to see you play anything by Trivium, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Into The Moat, Norma Jean, or The Chariot. Its all complicated...and surely your not good enough at anything.

[Shred Danson]

I wouldn't call Dillenger metalcore, buddy.

Guess what. None of those bands are Metalcore. Trivium = Post Hardcore Metal, Dillinger Escape Plan = Math Metal, The Number 12 Looks Like You = grind, Norma Jean = Post Hardcore Metal, and The Chariot = Post Hardcore Metal, so stop trying to be knowlageable about subjects you don't even know.

[Shred Danson]

He's just picking out all the "new bands" and calling them "metalcore" since that's the popular genre these days :rolleyes: . He's probably only heard "Miss Machine" by DEP :lol: lolerzletzthrowrox@him

Why the hell is everyone in here talking like a knob... "lolzorz" and what not. Whats the point of this thread anyway, its a complete flame fest. They're a good band by todays standards and much more talented than anyone here bagging them which is why their making money for their stuff and your not. Get over it... :chug:

OK, dude,

1). We're talking like "knobs" because we're being sarcastic right now. I don't really type like that.

2). The whole thread isn't a flame fest, there have been a hell of a lot of pro-Trivium posts in here as well. The point of this thread is to have Trivium discussion. I'd rather not have blatant flaming here, but some people are idiots.

3). Nobody's bitching about them making way more many than anybody else, if somebody hates a band, that shouldn't (and most likely isn't) the reason. You get over it. And they're a fairly new band, dude, even to the mainstream, so I doubt they're making a lot of cash.

4). You can't prove they are much more talented than anyone in this thread, that's just a terrible thing to say over the internet. I'm sure there's plenty of people here that could shred like madmen.

Ah well i got pOwnd :thumb:

[1omega3]

Heading to see Trivium at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, by the way the earlier sections of the tour have been shaping up it looks set to be a pretty kick *** gig. I've not managed to get hold of Ember to Inferno yet but Ascendancy really sets a standard for the newer bands that have been appearing in the recent past, with more bands that seem to care whether they actually have some kind of thought put into their music the quality looks set to explode again. Not a moment too soon either.

[Westicle]

Every single one of those bands considers themselves a part of metalcore. And actually no...I havent just heard Miss Machine, I own their 2 CD's and 1 EP. But anyway. Norma Jean is most defintely metalcore, everything about them is metalcore except for maybe the constant odd timing. Same with the Chariot considering they have the old NJ singer and they sound exactly alike.

I've never heard Trivium position themselves as a metalcore band, I think Matt would be rather peeved at the suggestion, look at his influences and the bands he likes, Converge are not his heroes

You haven't been a fan for very long have you. Or at least not enough of a fan to have found out anything about them pre-Ascendancy era.

So I just watched an interview of matt and here's what he said 2 tracks on the next album that he already wrote would be:

1. Motley Crue sounding song (ehh...)
2. 18 minute 4 part instrumental song (**** yeah

When did Matt say they were metalcore? I've been a fan of the band for a while, the only thing I heard was melodicdeathcore, but I think he said that in jest. Not to mention, on ETI, he lists one of his roles as classical guitar, how many bands who want to be considered metalcore list classical guitar as an instrument?

That deserves a :rolleyes:

Tons of bands hail to classical. Take All That Remains for example. On their bio, they essentially said "we are metalcore", and Oli Herbert is a classically trained guitarist, with more classical influence in his songwriting than Trivium could ever hope for. That was a completely ridiculous statement on your part, especially considering the fact that many metalcore bands are classified as such mainly out of their combination of starkly different elements. Like Between the Buried and Me for example.. In fact, even Matt's listing of classical guitar as an instrument on ETI was completely ridiculous, considering that half if not more of the acoustic parts on the album are not performed by him, besides which most of these parts don't even merit the label 'classical'.

On Trivium's site, pre-Ascendancy era, they listed themselves as "melodic death metalcore" on the main page, in the short paragraph attempting to describe a band. For a young band like them, at the time trying to get signed and move into a more professional setting, it was obviously not a jest. Before Roadrunner decided to bring up "the next Metallica" gimmick, Matt always listed metalcore and melodeath influences equally high if not higher than the bands thrash influence. The name Trivium itself is derived from the latin word for "a three way intersection", referring to the blend of Melodic Death, Metalcore, and Thrash. While calling Trivium completely metalcore is just ignorant, metalcore is certainly a very strong element of their sound.

[Turkish]

I love the band, Pillar of Serpents, Fugue, A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation, Like Light to Flies and Declaration or some of my favorite tracks.

Wow, excellent post! I've just recently gotten into the band, and I really agree with what you are saying, except for the fact that I see very little hardcore in their music, still they are a great band.

2. 18 minute 4 part instrumental song

Sounds interesting.... I cant wait :cool:

Sounds interesting.... I cant wait :cool:

recording starts in January, album out by May... thats the plan

wow, now I really cant wait.

neither can I, its gonna be dope

Trivium is awesome! To be perfectly honest I had never heard of them up until about 2 weeks ago. But I checked them out; I was an instant fan.

That motley crue song should be interesting, to say the least.

Hey everyone, I call for a title change since this is THE trivium thread

I just dont like "The Trivium thread to end all trivium threads"

becuase there arnt any other trivium threads, though this may not get an ******OFFICAL******** thread thing, I still think its time for a change

anyone else agree or have any ideas?

[Panvium]

Looking forward to the instrumental

[Shred Danson]

Sure, let's get the name changed.

I only titled it that way because there were a bunch of lame Trivium threads at the time, and I thought I'd make this one the lamest :lol:

I agree. I also cannot wait to hear the instrumental. "The End of Everything" was a pretty nice start to the album IMO, and I was hoping to here some more of the melodic side of trivium. Dont get me wrong, when I hear trivium I can't help but bang my head. Btw...where did you find that interview Trivium?

Just got back from the Ascendancy UK tour, t'was a pretty awesome night all round. I thought that All that Remains and It Dies Today were really good as well, I can't stand it when a great band comes around and brings really crappy support with them. Set list was nicely balanced with a few Ember to Inferno tracks mixed in with the obvious Ascendancy tracks. No Master of Puppets though :(

man that would be sweet to see em cover a metallica song all that remains is one of my fav metalcore bands. i was so suprides to see in his songs (hadent listened too most of there songs) that he does do clean too :amaze: .

[1omega3]

I think that screaming vocal lines work a LOT better when contrasted with a bit of singing, by the same token it only works like that some of the time. Id be surprised if something like Dark Funeral works that way, they're plenty good enough as they are.

[Hale_of_Gunfire]

I think trivium are a cool band to listen to for awile but then they start getting boring, i guess you could say I like them in small doses.

[drewhet]

they went to the high school that i go to now, and i saw them at battle of the bands when i was still in middle school, its hard to belive they are as big as they are.

[Trivium]

I think trivium are a cool band to listen to for awile but then they start getting boring, i guess you could say I like them in small doses.

yeah I go through phases with them, I was completely obsessed for like a month when I made this name.

But recently ive been listening to a lot of classic metallica and bodom.

they went to the high school that i go to now, and i saw them at battle of the bands when i was still in middle school, its hard to belive they are as big as they are.

thats mad cool man, do a lot of people talk about them there, like is it a big deal to you guys?

[FreddieVanHalen]

actually im surprised its not at all a big deal. nobody that i've mentioned it to knows who they are. my school is full of preppy kids who listen to pop gayness.

edit: plus they graduated like 4 years ago

[FreddieVanHalen]

do you know them personaly

[drewhet]

do you know them personaly

nah, i was in 8th grade in middle school and i think they were seniors when i saw them at battle of the bands, i never met any of them.

[FreddieVanHalen]

this local band radio here in miami supposedly got signed to atlantic but they weren't special at the time. then i saw them at this years battle of the bands at my school and they were more proffesional and played their instruments better.

is that the samw thing wtith trivum (not the atlantic part though)

[FreddieVanHalen]

i used to jam with the singer/guitarist in 8th grade and he picked up some of my technique and got better than me

i dont think so, i dont think they were signed to anything when they played, but theye were prtty proffesional.

after i saw them, i hadnt heard anything at all about them till about 2 years later, when i started listening to metal, my friend showed me a band, trivium, and i was like "those kids went to our school didnt they?" and hes like yah. and i found out they were signed to a record company with an album out, later to release another

[FreddieVanHalen]

have you gone to a show since

[drewhet]

have you gone to a show since

no, but they are coming to tampa soon with COB, if i feel like driving that far i guess ill go see them.

[FreddieVanHalen]

you're in orlando right? cause thats where trivium started

[FreddieVanHalen]

if you are then do you ever go to george's music

[drewhet]

yes, more specifically altamonte springs florida, 15 min north of orlando, lake brantley high school

never heard of george's music

[FreddieVanHalen]

never mind, what instrument do you play

[drewhet]

i just started playing guitar in july

[FreddieVanHalen]

know any trivium songs

[drewhet]

nah, their not my favorite band i listen to mostly death metal

[FreddieVanHalen]

i just went from classic rock to metal and trivium blew me away. but i still listen to zeppelin

[Trivium]

i just went from classic rock to metal and trivium blew me away. but i still listen to zeppelin

thats a big switch

I did classic rock>metallica for 5 years>Trivium

metallica got old, and listening to band heavily influenced by them was really cool

I ordered Ember to the Inferno from interpunk two thursdays ago, and it's still not here....


Discuss what I'm missing out on

[mr black]

I would love to see these guys live, does anyone have the faintest clue of when they will find their way to Australia ?

Also im watching Ember to inferno live, and whoa could Matt wear his guitar any higher !, in all the other clips i've got he has it between his legs, in this (obviously very early in the career) He has it at chest height.

This makes me very excited, although hopefully Trivium aren't a band who get loads of success on their breakthrough album, then take years before they release another record, that won't live up to the hype.

Being more like Dream Theater is got to be a good thing

[IAmAnAsshole]

I would be a big fan of this band if the cookie monster vocals weren't there :thumb:

[scenesfromatheater]

never heard a metal band before???

[Turkish]

Matt's vocals are awesome I think, I think he has a great screaming/singing voice.

[metallica fan]

hey id really appreciate it if anyone has the tab for the solo in fugue?
my bands covering and i cant find it anywhere.thanks if anyone has it

[Shattered_Future]

I thought the vocals were the weakest part of the band...they aren't really anything special.

He actually sings, though, which is a pretty rare thing in popular American metal...his singing voice is decent.

However, Trivium has now been officially bastardized by somebody I know, who I will refer to as Top 40.

Apparently, he has discovered this band, which means he will be like "OMG Trivium are liek soooo am4zing!" Which will completely destroy any shred of liking I had for this band.

So you can all say thank you to him for finding this band.

"Finding" lol, who is this? Although they've been bastardized it doesn't make their music any worse.

Does anyone find the song Dying In Your Arms completely out of place? It sounds very emo (except the guitar is amazing) and the rest if very heavy metal

No need to apologize to the dude, you didn't know any better. I wish people were more educated on what metalcore actually is, it seems nowadays whenever a "new" band comes out, people automatically label them as metalcore without even listening to them. That's bullshit.

[My_sweet_Shadow]

What can i say about Trivium.... they are the SH!T

Ascenandy one of the greatest releases to date:
very catchy riffs, good vocals both clean and hard (takes a few listens to get used to but still very good), and i give Corey a 10 out of 10 for his solo's plus i think there are a few dual solo's thown in there so Matt is no bum with the guitar either.
Fav songs from the album: Rain, Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr, A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation, Like Light to the Flies, Suffocating Sight, Departure,

NWOAHM is not metalcore. The new wave of american heavy metal already happened, a very, very, long time ago (think thrash). Metalcore itself is a stupid genre classification considering bands like Trivium contain much less hardcore in their sound than they do melodeath and thrash (though obviously it is still present, in song structures and vocal style). But so many 'metalcore' bands are so pathetically misclassified. A lot of them are mainly melodeath, with heavy thrash influences, and then hardcores song structures and yet get thrown into the 'metalcore' genre. There melodeath bands that had songs that could easily have been considered 'metalcore' today back in the mid-nineties, but instead of getting crucified by the scene they get respect. People need to really analyze the music they're listening to and consider the history of metal leading up to the bands before they misclassify these bands.

On stage, there should be no flaws, if there are flaws as severe as singing, it's over. I can record an album by myself and garauntee it to sell, but I can't play all the instruments on stage. Live performances are everything now-a-days. If he can't sing live, he better get his shlt together.

"That's because they have been touring for two years straight pretty much NON stop. and for another year or more"

So what, Metallica went years at a time, and James always sounded as good as the recording and most often better.

The first album is pretty good. You should check it out obviously. The vocals are no way as powerful and the guitar isnt as good. Nevertheless its still impressive guitar work.

People have only been saying that since they got popular, when I bought Ascendancy in March, not too many people had heard of them, and they were widely considered to be a very impressive up and coming metal act. Since they've gained popularity, there's been a surprising backlash against them... I don't get it, the music is the same now as it was in March

[asmodeusisgod]

I like trivium a lot, there are not a whole lot of bands that can pull of dual guitar leads like matt and corey do

WOW Kittens actually said something worthwhile for once!

That happens to almost every band. See: Avenged Sevenfold.

[Britton]

yep A7X is another of those bands that is up and coming.

It's funny my two favourite albums of the year are ascendancy
and City of Evil

[Yppolitia]

Why is it funny :confused:

[Britton]

Cuase it's like they come into my life this year...then they come to my town...
then they reslease new albums and I get to see two incredible bands
that I hope to be with for the next twenty years

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I can understand with A7X, they changed their style between albums, there is reason for backlash. Nothing changed with Trivium between March and now other than their general popularity

[Britton]

I'm really hapy for them. They work really hard and it's starting to pay off

[Britton]

So I'm learning ascendancy and the end of everything.

anyone else learning Trivium stuff?

[crag]

i plan to learn Rain once i get decent pick-ups in my Strat:)

[Britton]

I love how the album go's from TEOE to Rain. I play it really loud
then it comes into the metal and just kicks ***.

Nearly knocked my budy over

[Turkish]

I'm learning Gunshot right now on Guitar, but I just got Requiem minus the solo down.

[MindPhish]

I picked up the new album after I heard a song on Uranium. All I listened to for a month, I like 'em. I want to try learning some songs.

[Endless Obsession]

Everyone nominate Matt in the 100 Greatest vocalists thread.

[i am the robots]

No dude, Trivium is great, but Matt Heafy is a horrible vocalist, he doesn't scream correctly, and his clean vocals are terrible. I love his lyrics though :).

[Turkish]

I love his screaming...

[i am the robots]

I enjoy it too, but it's definately not correctly performed, plus he's a horrible live vocalist.

[Turkish]

Ah, well I haven't seen them live yet.

[i am the robots]

Don't, according to Bobo The Raging Hobo, he runs out of breath and loses his voice, and according to live files I downloaded, Bobo's accusations are true.

[shamed-angel]

Ah, well I haven't seen them live yet.
They are a good live act though. In all fairness.

[Josh]

Ollie (Lord Abortion) saw them at Download i think, he said they were a pretty good live act.

[shamed-angel]

I saw them before everyone started bumming them and got loads of pictures with the band stuff. They were class. This was just after the new album came out.

[Poofy 666]

hopefully they will lose their metalcore influences and give their guitarists real solols*

my only complaint with Ascendancy

[i am the robots]

They are a good live act though. In all fairness.

They are good, just not Heafy's vocals.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

They are good, just not Heafy's vocals.

I actually love Heafy's vocals... his scream grew on me, I love his half sing/half scream he pulls out only a few times on the album, sounds like Hetfield a little. The vocal harmonies they do in the choruses are kind of cool, I'm not sure if that is only Heafy though

[Britton]

I'm not much of a scream fan, but I enjoy matts vocals Ithink he sould
stop screaming and leave that to the rest of the band but you know that's just me

[i am the robots]

I'm not saying that he is a bad vocal writer, I'm saying that he's a bad vocalist. He does everything incorrectly.

[Britton]

He does scream badly

He won't have a voice by the time He's 25

[i am the robots]

That's so true, want to know why? He closes his throat to create rasp rather than leaving his throat open and pushing air to the back of his throat. I can't even imagine how many horrible horrible sore throats that man gets, because let me tell you, when you scream incorrectly long enough, you cannot speak properly for at least two days and then it hurts for about a week... then you have someone like him who does it for a living.... ouch, it makes me feel horrible for Jesse Leach, and horrible to a lesser degree for Matt Shadows.

[Britton]

I think shadows is gonna be okay now...he can't break much more then he
already has. Matt on the other hand needs some help. I've even heard him say
that his voice hurts. IN this one concert he's like "Does everyone elses voice
hurt as much as mine does?"


God please stop matt

[i am the robots]

Yeah, seriously. He should just have a conversation with one of the old regs from the Jam Session (Merkaba-1) that man gave the perfect step by step description on screaming correctly.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Yeah, seriously. He should just have a conversation with one of the old regs from the Jam Session (Merkaba-1) that man gave the perfect step by step description on screaming correctly.

yeah hopefully he's careful with that

[i am the robots]

Definately, because pretty soon: bamf agh blood going all over his microphone, horrible wretching and stabbing pain in the vocal chords.

[Britton]

Well you know it's gonna happen...just when?
