The Trivium Thread, Bitches

[Huber]

I think Matt should stick with the vocals he did on the MoP cover.

[Britton]

I would be happy with that ;)

They did a great job with that cover. Do ya'll know who did the solo? I'd imagine it was corey...but then again you never know

could you possibly send this MoP cover to me?

It was Corey.

I think I heard that he might be doing the vocals like that on the new album.

[toolfreak]

I think I heard that he might be doing the vocals like that on the new album.

U heard correct there will be little to no screaming in the next album

[Trivium]

the cd pretty much sucked except for trivium and machine heads covers

[Shred Danson]

OK, Funeral For A Friend and Bullet For My valentine were on it, what do you expect?

[SimonCore]

OK, Funeral For A Friend and Bullet For My valentine were on it, what do you expect?

Bullets one was horrendous. Ffaf's was not bad at all.

[nowitzki]

FFAF's was by far the worst cover on the album. Their attempt at the solo was woeful. I was also very disappointed in Mastodon's cover of Orion.
Chimaira did a very good job, and I really liked the way Mendeed put their own spin on The Thing That Should Not Be.

Mastodon's cover wasn't that bad... Chimaira's was quite good though.

Mendeed done 'The Thing That Should Not Be' and personally, I thought it wasn't great.

Trivium's MoP was decent, but they didn't really do a lot with it.

You're spot-on about Chimaira. They done a great job of 'Disposable Heroes'.

[nowitzki]

Mendeed done 'The Thing That Should Not Be' and personally, I thought it wasn't great.
Ah yeah, my mistake, I meant The Thing That Should Not Be.
Mastodon's cover wasn't that bad...
It's not that it was particularly bad, it was just very average. It was quite an accurate cover, but they added nothing new to the song, and it came out worse than the original.

[New name Spiraldown]

When trivium were on tour with CoB awhile ago CoB fans threw bottles and swore at Trivium and matt heafy calling him a poser what do you guys think of this.

[Crysiss]

Wtf is he a poser of. I hate all these people that assume that popular bands are posers. The guys in trivium are good musicians and are def skilled.

[I'm Charming]

I support that towards Trivium.

I saw them when I saw CoB and Trivium was awful.

Matt's screams and clears were awful. Both he and Corey made plenty of mistakes on guitar riffs/solos.

Several people threw shoes at them. That was funny.

Personally I stuck to flipping him off everytime he looked my way and yelling random **** at him just loud enough to be heard. Inbetween songs that was.

Thats Exactly what I thought when I heard about this, but Matt Heafys vocals do get annoying form time to time. But there playing on Ascendancy is very good.

That's kinda lame. Imagine if you were up there.

They aren't bad at all live, at least not anymore. They were spot on when I saw them.

A lot of CoB fans are morons.

[circlethedrain]

I think that if they don't scream on the next album, then their lyrics better be great, cause when you scream and are inaudable then lyrics don't matter quite as much.

Crusades could be the next City of Evil (which was terrible).

[SimonCore]

That only happened at one date though.

[Crysiss]

Where did this happen? somewhere like finland?

[SimonCore]

Where did this happen? somewhere like finland?

Nah it was a USA tour. San fransisco i think it was.

[Rattlehead]

That only happened at one date though.
its still bloody crap of them. i was never a COB fan, anyway.

[Prince of Darkness]

I'm seeing Trivium with Iron Maiden in December. Looking forward to that I would say.

[SimonCore]

I'm seeing Trivium with Iron Maiden in December. Looking forward to that I would say.

Yeah you won't be let down. But Maiden will > Trivium that night though.

[Shred Danson]

Well, duh, it's fricken' Maiden! :lol:

[Rattlehead]

bumpification.

[toolfreak]

Trivium is in the recording studio yay!!! lets hope they produce some quality **** eh

[Hourglass]

Trivium is in the recording studio yay!!!

January called they want their news back

[Rattlehead]

i beg your pardon?

yeah, the new album is said to be out later this year/early next year.

[toolfreak]

January called they want their news back

Easy there buddy just tryna make this thread lively again DAWG just be kicking YO

[Crysiss]

Hey...
























Shut up:p
Stewie is just the greatest.

And I hope the new album will out do Ascendancy

[SimonCore]

I have high hopes for this album from what i've heard recently of Matt's vocals (MOP cover). So it sohuld be a proper old school metal one;)

[bombtrack]

honestly i think there a pretty good band even though their young they have time to improve

[Rattlehead]

welcome to the forums. you are new and old at the same time. ha! i did that once.I have high hopes for this album from what i've heard recently of Matt's vocals (MOP cover). So it sohuld be a proper old school metal one;)
yeah, more of the clean hetfieldesque vocals. i only want him to carry on screaming if he can do BOTH of the following: 1. Scream properly, not blowing out and 2. still sound good.

[toolfreak]

yeah i really liked the hetfeild kinda vocals and maybe a little screaming from time to time would be nice

[Hourglass]

Easy there buddy just tryna make this thread lively again DAWG just be kicking YO

The hoods that way --> :lol:
Don't take me seriously I just like to have my little jokes

[toolfreak]

The hoods that way --> :lol:
Don't take me seriously I just like to have my little jokes

lol k no worries:chug:

[Rattlehead]

it didn't even make sense.

i hope Trivvers don't kick anyone out. i doubt heafy, beaulieu or smith would go. paulo is kinda average, so i reckon he's on the edge if anyone is.

[toolfreak]

i highly doubt they will kick anyone out dude

[Rattlehead]

why? other bands do. but then they are still young, so you're probably right. for now.

[toolfreak]

yeah and paolo does his part and does it well and they already had a few members quite and stuff

[mr black]

Did Travis Smith invent the double kick method...

:lol:

Hell no!

To me he sounded like a whinier version of Hetfeild back in the day :p.

But yeah, you're right.

[Rattlehead]

yeah, his vocals in Battery are brilliant. hope he does more like that in the new album.

[toolfreak]

do u think paolo should keep doing back up vocals someone on trivium.org thinks he shouldnt just wondering everyone elses opinions i think he should

[Phreeck]

Random post.

I saw them on their first UK date, EVER, I have photos.

I'm seeing them with Maiden in Birmingham NEC in December.

They said their new album is going to be using Matt's newly bought JP7 and it is way more technical and crazy time signatures.

Woo for trivium wopping the poly rhythms.

[Rattlehead]

do u think paolo should keep doing back up vocals someone on trivium.org thinks he shouldnt just wondering everyone elses opinions i think he should
didn't know he did.... he didn't when i saw them.

[toolfreak]

didn't know he did.... he didn't when i saw them.

are u sure about that?? also has anyone seen that video where paolo falls over i lol'd

[Rattlehead]

yeah... he didn't even have a mic. Beaulieu did most of the screaming while Matt did the backing. Matt just did backing and clean. no paolo!

[toolfreak]

oh are u in the uk??

[Britton]

So I'm looking for tour dates...and I'm not seeing anything in S.A...so I'll have to either drive to freakin corpus (about 4 hours away) or houston (4 plus another 2 to 3 depending on traffic)


So in all Likelyhood I'll have to wait till the new album comes out.


Sorry I haven't been in here very much...I got a gal and I spend all my time on the PC talking to her.


What's new in the world of Trivium? it sounds like there is some sorta rumer about someone getting kicked out? is that true?

[Lesbian_Seagull]

Aren't they making a new album soon?

[Britton]

Aren't they making a new album soon?



Yea it's coming out in November...I beleive that's the date

[Lesbian_Seagull]

That's cool, I loved Ascendancy, but I bet it'll be better.

[alexmonty12]

Did Travis Smith invent the double kick method...Dude, Travis Smith far from invented the double kick. Elvis Presely's drummer was using double bass in 1969.

do u think paolo should keep doing back up vocals someone on trivium.org thinks he shouldnt just wondering everyone elses opinions i think he shouldI have a strange licking of his vocals. I think they're pretty good. I only ever thought that Corey done the backing, but there ya go :smoke:

Can't wait for the new album too, should be good, wouldn't mind going to see them as i missed them on their last tour :(

[Lesbian_Seagull]

Dude, Travis Smith far from invented the double kick. Elvis Presely's drummer was using double bass in 1969.
Holy ****, Elvis was ****ing metal!

[SimonCore]

What's this about a rumour of someone getting kicked out?

[toolfreak]

there is no rumour someone just said do u think they will kick someone out all is at rest now

[toolfreak]

Hey if theres anyone from perth australia that nows where i can find a good trivium shirt like maybe one with the ascendancy cover on it or something could u let me no cause ive looked all over and i just cant find it thankyou.

[Grumma]

ebay :p

Damn should have found this thread earlier lol.
As a drummer i look up to Trav a lot because of his bass work.
And i believe that jazz drummers were the first to use 2 bass drums

[Rattlehead]

What's this about a rumour of someone getting kicked out?
lol, it was just my lame bump. no rumour.

[toolfreak]

ebay :p

lol ebay what do u think ur funny or something mister lol

[SimonCore]

They wouldn't kick out Matt anyway. He'd still do guitar and they'd get another vocalist.

[Rattlehead]

what i originally said was that if anyone got kicked out, it would have to be paolo, as matt/corey are a great duo and highly skilled, and Travis is an amazing drummer, and too many people like them. there would be an outrage any of them were kicked out. Paolo, however, is nothing special.... not that he needs to be. mostly, it will be teenage girls who would protest to his sacking. they needn't kick him out and i'm not saying they're going to, it was just a little bump for a page 4 thread.

[toolfreak]

corey does like the screams for backups i think

[Rattlehead]

he does, when i saw them he did nearly all the screaming, meaning that Matt has finally come to terms with the fact that he can't scream.

[SimonCore]

Corey screamed all of 'Washing away me in the tides' and then Matt sung the chorus. But the rest of the songs he didn't sing, but it was more of thrash vocals.

[toolfreak]

he does, when i saw them he did nearly all the screaming, meaning that Matt has finally come to terms with the fact that he can't scream.


lol i like matts screams i think it was actually because it was hurting his throat to much and stuff lol

[j05h_ab3l5_pp1_h8_m3]

yea i like his screams as welll but hes not 2 great at it

[toolfreak]

yeah i think he should just go see that melissa cross chick or whateva her name is and get her to teach him good habits and stuff

[Crysiss]

Maybe he didnt wanna be like a7x and be stuck singing clean all the time amirite?

[mr black]

[QUOTE=alexmonty12]Dude, Travis Smith far from invented the double kick. Elvis Presely's drummer was using double bass in 1969.

You're about as good at noticing sarcasm as Matt Heafy is at singing :smash:

Ouch... That hurts.

[toolfreak]

Ouch... That hurts.

you know thats funny tho:naughty:

[Rattlehead]

i love matts vocals its just a shame he'll have to change them in order to carry on with them.

[SimonCore]

I think they can make a really good album with his new vocals.

[Rattlehead]

yeah, so long as matt doesn't go too whiney, like, as i think i have already said, he does in Declaration: "...bear witness to me" all though he uses some cool gritty vocals in that song.

[Crysiss]

I enjoy Matts clean voice sometimes.

And whiney? Reminds of some of a7xs vocals.

"I cant trust anyone" I hate when the singer does that part(A7X)

[toolfreak]

Hey i was on trivium.org message board and apparently paolo has said hes doing bass solos be good to hear:D

[Rattlehead]

nice one, hopefully the songs will have more bass to them now.

[Drunken Viking]

I bet that the rhythm guitar is louder then the bass during the solo's. :lol:

[toolfreak]

Dude, that sounds freaking sweet

[i am the robots]

Are you serious? They're gonna let the bass do something now? Awesome!

[evilkow]

Everything i've heard by this band sounds way too mechanical and generic.
i don't understand why they are so popular on here at all.

[breadbin]

nah i think that if trivum sing, rather than scream, they would be so much bigger and more popular.

[jb_203]

There a awesome band, band has a lot of talent for their age. Their soloing is the best part i think, I havent heard as technical solos in a long time. But then again my metal is just expanding now, so im not very experienced with the ear but Im getting a hang of it. Im excited for there new cd this year, when they say there gonna make it alot more techinical, faster and bring in a 7 string guitar for some songs, gets me looking forward to it. Should be a step up some ascendancy, which to me would be hard to do, but if they can, and get good reviews, congrats to them

[i am the robots]

Mechanical? I understand the generic part, but I don't see how they sound mechanical...

There only problem is Heafy's vocals and the hilarity of their crappiness.

I seriously cannot comprehend what posesses him to 'scream' like that... he has quite possibly the worst technique I've ever heard of, granted he had no training, but neither did Jesse Leach or Anders Friden.

[panthersfan16]

Hey does anyone know what Trivium's rig or setup is for the rhythm guitar? I googled it but could only find info on the bass. My bands doing a cover of Like Light to Flies and I was just trying to figure out how to get a better tone for the song

[SimonCore]

I wanna cover LLTF. But the solo is thwarting my ambitions:angry:

The drum's are so obviously programmed. the guitars are good, but the double bass is horrible.

[Rattlehead]

what do you mean by programmed. im not familiar. you can't possibly mean electronically made, and that's what springs to mind when you say that. -?

and wtf his double-bass owns:smoke:

man, that's bad... he might not have much technique but damn it sounds good. i really like it.

and their crappiness?? explain, if you will.

[panthersfan16]

Thats cool but does anyone know how they get their guitar sound?

[SimonCore]

Programmed is when the Drums is done on computer.

Chill out SimonCore :)

The drums and bass are from a Guitar Pro file. I just muted out the guitars. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit there and program drums and bass myself!

[SimonCore]

I complemented the guitars. Just the drums really were disgracefull, even if it was a guitar pro file.

[Crysiss]

I did a cover with midi drums. It sounds horrible. Even my singing is horrible.

<---Not a singer

I was going to cover Rain, But I didnt feel like learning the solo at the time.

[jdw2]

Post your cover Crysiss :) . Its fun to hear other peoples recordings. I was thinking about doing Rain also. That song would be a pain to record. Those triplets kill my wrist. The solo is nice and easy for that song though, so I would actually be able to record the WHOLE song this time :p !

[SimonCore]

What exactly is guitar pro? It seems to me from what you've said it's like an editing/recording program.

[Zatoichi]

What exactly is guitar pro? It seems to me from what you've said it's like an editing/recording program.
its a guitar tablature player.

[KillemAllforOne83]

Can someone please upload the master of puppets cover for me? If it has been can you link me to it?

[jdw2]

What exactly is guitar pro? It seems to me from what you've said it's like an editing/recording program.

Guitar Pro is basically the same thing as Powertab, but much better. You have the ability to program drums into the songs also. So people make the tabs up, I download them, mute the guitar parts, and jam along to them! Almost all the Trivium songs are tabbed on mysongbook.com, which hosts a ton of GuitarPro files.

[Rattlehead]

www.myspace.com/triviumsucks

a myspace profile devoted entirely to the unquestioned flaming of trivium.

funny in places. nontheless bad, cause its Trivium.

has a blog devoted entirely to the flaming of 5 fanboys from the Trivium forums. fair enough, fanboys are fanboys, but this dude sure does talk some utter bollocks, too.

a group created for the flaming of paolo is also included.

a good source of discussion. also, i posted a couple of times in there too.

read the blogs!

[Crysiss]

Dying In You Arms Is a rather cliched piece of lyrics.

[Rattlehead]

i don't listen to it it enough to know. if there is one thing on that blog page link i posted that i agree with, besides the annoyance of fanboys, it is that DIYA is terrible. don't get me wrong, most of what he said was crap, but that is true, IMO.

[Crysiss]

That was a rather interesting visit.

Cati (Paulos GF) Seems like such a barbie doll.

EDIT: heres my convo with Paulo

Crysiss713: Sup!!!
SchpincPimper2: hello
Crysiss713: hows it goin?
Crysiss713: is dis the bassist from avenged sevenfold?
SchpincPimper2: no
Crysiss713: oh ok sorry, Someone told me that. Its trivium isnt it?
SchpincPimper2: yea
Crysiss713: oh cool, your awesome man!
Crysiss713: the basslines you play are godly
SchpincPimper2: thank you
Crysiss713: I love the MoP cover dude!
SchpincPimper2: thank you
Crysiss713: except that it sounds too much like the original, You guys should've put your own style to the mix in my opinion
SchpincPimper2: we didn't want to
SchpincPimper2: the bands that ddid kinda hacked it
Crysiss713: Were u just scared?

After that, he kind of just stopped talking

You hurt his ego!

My convo in a few.

[Crysiss]

I wonder what he thought when I asked if he was the a7x bassist.

[A Charming Ban]

I wonder what he thought when I asked if he was the a7x bassist.


Maybe that you were an idiot or asshat

[Crysiss]

I wouldnt be too surprised. Ive changed my perspective in that one conversation because I realize now that he barely has much of a reply at all.

Maybe like "yea" "thank you" "maybe"

Theres more to the conversation, it was just horribly boring.

[Rattlehead]

what was it, msn? myspace? it may have been a fake though, i reckon, there are many nowadays.

[Crysiss]

It was AIM.

[SimonCore]

How did you get to talk to one of the members of Trivium?

[Crysiss]

I kick *** thats why.

In all seriousness, I found his AIM on a myspace.

[Forlorn Hope]

He probably didn't respond much because I'm sure he gets loads and loads of messages and conversations from fans saying mostly the same stuff.

Anyway. Me and our other guitarist have learned Like Light To Flies and The Decieved, excluding solos (we will learn them soon). We are planning to record them. Also we are going to practice them with an awesome drummer :D
I've been dying to record a Trivium cover and now we are doing two!

Also, if anyone has any good drum samples I would greatly appreciate them. Especially crash cymbals. The ones I have now aren't that great. I can download/send songs or something in return if need be.

I haven't posted in here in forever. Curse the second page lurking of this thread!!

[Crysiss]

Like Light To The Flies is pretty darn easy.

[SimonCore]

Perhaps you could share his AIM address with the MX crew;)

[Crysiss]

He told me not to tell anyone.

[SimonCore]

He told me not to tell anyone.

I'm sure one person won't hurt! PLEEAASSEEE!!!!!!

[Crysiss]

SchpincPimper2K

Dont expect much.

[SimonCore]

What's his address though?

[Forlorn Hope]

Like Light To The Flies is pretty darn easy.
Yes, 'tis easy. We practiced it today with a different drummer and we already have the whole song down. I still have to learn my solo though. We found a good tab on mysongbook.com but I don't have guitar pro. So, I'm waiting for the other guitarist to print it out for me. Sounds easy enough. The sweeping might be a little tricky but that's just because I've never really swept before :cool:
It's all good.

[TID22]

I really like Trivium and think they are great song writers. I love the work of the two guitars especially. I really like Dying In Your Arms. I like the music of all their other songs but I must say that I do not enjoy Matt Heafy's scream too much.

[Lukerz]

The breakdown in suffocating sight just gave me an orgasm.

Hear hear, I love that part so much.

[azbassman]

I wasnt really that into Trivium. Then i got Asendancy and Ember to Inferno. Havent listened to both all the way through yet but so far my favorite is 'A Gunshot to The Head of Trepidation'. Any recommendation on what i should listen to next?

[Crysiss]

the whole CD?

[azbassman]

the whole CD?
Ended up doing that anyways.

[Crysiss]

lol, so what are your favorite songs?

[Forlorn Hope]

What are some of the better ones off of Ember To Inferno. I like Fugue and When All Light Dies, but what else are the "hallmarks" of that album?

[Rattlehead]

yeah those are my two favourites. WALD is one of my favouritre Trivium songs all over. its quite different from Gunshot of Pull harder, but it's just awesome.

"I want to take your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

and as for another EtE 'hallmark', Requiem is a superb song.

[SOAD_Fanatic]

Trivium are the dog's bollocks.

Ascendancy is a cracking album from start to finish.

Matt Heafy has talent beyond his years.

Like Light To Flies is my fave track!

[Grumma]

Yeah they did piss take green day covers and all them you listed. IMO means 'in my opinion'.


Haha they also played a bit of Eminem's "lose yourself" at a gig somewhere :lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHVsBLw_FVU&search=trivium

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Any news on a new trivium album?

Any news on a new trivium album?

Only that it's due the end of this year maybe. And that 'Lose yourself' was at the Astoria in London, England.

Nice one! Is that AIM? Because i use MSN, and that seems to be different.

[Crysiss]

yep, He seems like a dick. **** screaming he says.

You can really tell I was getting annoyed with him halfway through:p

[deathscreamingsheep]

Official news came out on their Myspace blog. They've finished recording the Crusade.

There's one acoustic song, a Skid Row/ Mötley Crüe-sounding song, a Def Leppard, Southern-rock metal song and then 11 ridiculously technical thrash songs,

It's now off to be mixed.

Song titles include: "Ignition," "Contempt Breeds Contamination," "And Sadness Will Sear," "Vengeance," "To the Rats" and "Contemporary Plague."

[SimonCore]

That's bull**** what Paolo said about screaming surely! And Matt can't scream properly.

[Crysiss]

I dunno, man either hes just in trivium for the bitchz or there really is no screaming.

Dont forget the song 'The Crusade' Paolo says that its gonna be a 9 minute wankfest haha

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Fuk Screaming? What the hell is that guy smoking?

I don't know if I will like the new album very much then. I liked heafy's screaming squawks(i'm not sure if that was actually him).

O yeah, what's up with this emo type of look Matt Heafy has with his clothes?

[toolfreak]

the names of those songs sound pretty boss looking forward to it i geuss..

[-The Frank]

yep, He seems like a dick. **** screaming he says.

You can really tell I was getting annoyed with him halfway through:p

wow, convos like that really show you how dickish some artists are....

[Po0sH]

is that really him? or did the dude just bs some screen name and responses?

[Crysiss]

if that was a guy BSing it, He'd be bragging about himself.

If The Crusade really is 9 minutes, We'll know it was him:)

[The Cynic]

Does anybody know what model Corey's Jackson is?

[Grumma]

Try either the Trivium site or the forum.
If its not on the site it will be on the forum.
maybe try www.trivium-world.com (i think it is)

[blue3]

I dunno, man either hes just in trivium for the bitchz or there really is no screaming.

Dont forget the song 'The Crusade' Paolo says that its gonna be a 9 minute wankfest hahathat guy's not that interesting to talk to.. if it even is him.

[SimonCore]

I don't like the "There's no screaming...it must suck" attitude. However I am a big fan of screaming myself, but i'm just saying it could still be an amazing album even though there isn't any screaming.

[Katana]

I wonder if Trivium will get on TRL, since they dropped the screaming.

[Trivium616]

I can't wait for the new album. I'm probably going to pick up the re-release of Ascendancy soon for that live set and videos :)

[deathscreamingsheep]

I don't like the "There's no screaming...it must suck" attitude. However I am a big fan of screaming myself, but i'm just saying it could still be an amazing album even though there isn't any screaming.

I'm of the opinion that screaming is just another vocal method like rasping, rapping and so on. To me, when used effectively it can really make a song good, unfortunately when used badly it can make a song seriously suck. So, if the new Trivium album has no screaming I won't exactly be up in arms about it as long as they use vocals that actually fit the song.

[SimonCore]

I wonder if Trivium will get on TRL, since they dropped the screaming.

They're not A7X.

[i am the robots]

Wow... surprise surprise.

I'm listening to Aftershock, and the intro to Apparitional State sounded really familiar. Then I am like... wait... and I turn on Rain and go to the part where Matt's like 'Swallow every blasphemy,' and I'm just like, yay for Trivium, way to rip off Aftershock.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

If you are talking about what i said, I didn't mean it like that. I like some bands that don't scream, but when a band changes their music drastically, many times it doesn't come out too good. And although the lines Heafy doesn't scream are usually good, I just can't imagine him singing like that the whole time. I just don't think I would like that type of Trivium. I guess we'll just have to wait then and see if this album is way more kick a$$ than the rest, like Paolo said.

[Insipid2000]

I hope its not using the same recycled riffs as on Ascendancy.

You think everyone rips everyone else off. Shut up. :p

[Crysiss]

lmao.

[Invicta_Veritas]

lmao.


Yea, you like that? :p

Anyway, I really hope the new album isn't reflectant of Heafy's vocal problems.....that would ruin everything that they've gotten better at.

[Crysiss]

http://williamtmamakeesic.myknet.org/Paolo.htm

If your interested at what Paolo says about screaming.

and yes, I enjoyed that:D

[SimonCore]

That's so not true what he thinks aobut screaming. If he hated it as much as he said i doubt he would have joined the band in the first place. Because back then, they wouldn't have known that Heeafy would blow his voice and they'd have to do a none screaming album.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Someone fill me in on the whole Heafy blowing his voice thing, please.

[Crysiss]

He did say he likes the direction the band was going in though, plus there are rumours that Paolo had his mom pull some strings to get him in the band.

[Forlorn Hope]

Someone fill me in on the whole Heafy blowing his voice thing, please.
Heafy didn't use proper screaming technique, so he did some damage to his vocal chords. Plus, the improper screaming mixed with the singing choruses was harsh on them. So on The Crusade, he isn't going to scream at all, and Corey will do the very little screaming on the album.

[i am the robots]

Heafy's screaming blew anyhow, the style of vocals he's doing now is actually good.

You think everyone rips everyone else off. Shut up. :p

I dunno, the note for note progression...

[Luc214]

Trivium's alright, I haven't heard much. They sound uninspired.

Whats with the improper screaming these days, everyone keeps rushing to get as big as possible.

Oh really? Thats quite interesting.........Where'd you hear that from?

matt heafy has since had lessons with melissa cross that vocal lady

[pye phyo ko]

i dun like trivium that much
but the piano solo is cool in ascendency album

I love 'the end of everything'.

Shut the hell up! you are screwing this thread by coming in here with your stupid comments. and same go's for the other people that come in with their half hearted attempts at creating a decent post. If you don't like it then tell us why and we will talk about it...otherwise shut up and save it for the greenday thread

Just because he doesnt like Trivium that much you give him all that?

[Trivium]

Any news on a new trivium album?

As reported on MTV.com:

Trivium have finished recording their upcoming CD The Crusade. On Thursday, frontman Matt Heafy started tracking vocals at Audiohammer Studio in Orlando, Florida, where the band also recorded guitars and bass. Heafy is co-producing the disc with Audiohammer owner and previous collaborator Jason Suecof, and the album will be finished by the end of May for a fall release.

Songs include "Ignition," "Contempt Breeds Contamination," "And Sadness Will Sear," "Vengeance," "To the Rats" and "Contemporary Plague." "There's one acoustic song, a Skid Row/ Mötley Crüe-sounding song, a Def Leppard, Southern-rock metal song and then 11 ridiculously technical thrash songs," Heafy said.

"It's a solo insanity CD, but in a good way." ...

[Drunken Viking]

It better not be another Ascendancy, I mean you can only use and reuse a riff so many times.

[Crysiss]

Some anticipators think it will be the new MoP

[Drunken Viking]

I hate it when people try to compare todays work to Metallica or Iron Maiden, instead of trying re-create something we should create something right now.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Yeah, I heard about the quitting the screaming, which I'm not too excited about. Apparently no one really liked his screaming, but I thought it was great, it is one of the only metal bands that I actually listen to the vocals the whole way through a song. I think they can probably make it work without them on the Crusade though.

Thanks for tryin to help me out dude, but I just read that a few days ago.

[i am the robots]

Wow, Heafy sounds very modest:

"...and then 11 ridiculously technical thrash songs,"

[Drunken Viking]

My favorite quote from is when he was asked why Dimebag's widow was drawn to Trivium he responded, "Whenn she first saw us play, she hadn't heard a live tone like that or seen a crowd reaction like that since the Vulgar Display of Power Days". He is so full of himself.

[Britton]

Just because he doesnt like Trivium that much you give him all that?



I really didn't give it to him that hard.


I don't see why this next album can't be their MOP not to say that it will become a classic like MOP is but it should be theirs. Lots of bands have a MOP.

[I'm Charming]

Yes he is. See him live. Trivium is just awful live. Matt can't sing. Clear or Screams. Corey made many mistakes on guitar. Too much looking cool and not enough in the focus department.
Their riffage sounded really bad live too. It's just barre chords in Drop D.

they means The next MOP.

[i am the robots]

Master of Puppets isn't even that good.

When I think influencial, it has to be good to me, otherwise I don't care about it at all... examples of influencial albums that don't suck being Slaughter of the Soul, Transelvanian Hunger, Petitioning To The Empty Sky, or The Jester Race.

[RockGuitarist501]

i can't wait for the crusade to come out. i thought Ember to Enferno was great. then i heard Asendency. thought that was amazing. so the crusade should be brilliant. can't wait. :D

my live experience of Trivium goes against everything you said there.

"Corey made many mistakes on guitar" - na, no way. he was perfect in Exeter(England), and ive googled them plenty of times and Corey is never sloppy to any significant level. he certainly does not make many mistakes.

OK Master of Puppets is like my favourite Metallica album. How can you say it's not good?

[Britton]

Id hate to see what hard is.

It might have been a little harsh...but I hate it when people like that come in and screw a thread. I used to be Mr. MX whore, and I did that a whole lot. Looking back on it I realize how stupid it is to do that. I'm here now to have conversations. Not impress a bunch of people with 30,000 posts that have little or no value whatsoever. so if I came across as harsh I apologize. but that's what it took for me to realize what a idiot I was being. in all reality his post wasn't that bad...but it wasn't that good either.


So anyway...


I think this can be their MOP Ascendancy has sure set them up quite nice. Just like RTL set Metallica up. So I can tell you that it would be no suprise if this is their MOP. at this point in time I actually beleive that Trivium Is twice the band Metallica has ever been...as far as talent go's they are just insane.

[Grumma]

Yuo're n idiot

Says he who cant spell/type :p

[Grumma]

OK Master of Puppets is like my favourite Metallica album. How can you say it's not good?

Because he doesnt like it maybe . . .

Unless he means instrumentally it isnt good then thats pretty stupid . ..

[SimonCore]

Trivium are much more technical than 'tallica guitar wise. And his vocals are still gonna be kinda harsh. So i'm thinking it will be a technical heavier version of MOP (not literally but Triviums MoP) It could be actually better than MOP.

[Neoteric]

I used to hate this band but I've grown to find them enjoyable.

Not only guitar wise


Travis owns Lars and paulo is right up there with Jason. I think Rob is probably better and Cliff was definatly more creative. Overall Trivium just owns Metallica (instrument wise) The lyrics could be a little better if they want to have classic songs...but other then that they are incredible

[i am the robots]

I think Trivium's lyrics blow aside from Declaration, Like Light To Flies, and Pillars of Serpents.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Yeah, I'm startin to get pretty psyched about their new album, now that I realize that Heafy's vocals probably will sound a lot like Hetfield's.

[Sir_Robert]

ya i think hes going twards that. i think its good that hes not going to be screaming as much. not that i didnt like the screaming its just i think that especially in there older stuff they "over use" it in there songs. cant wait for the new album

[Britton]

Pretty much all my friends aren't big Trivium fans...yet they say they would be if Matt didn't scream so much. So I think it's a good thing there isn't going to be so much screaming.


It's gonna be a great album

[SimonCore]

When's it gonna be out again?

[Charizard]

Pretty much all my friends aren't big Trivium fans...yet they say they would be if Matt didn't scream so much. So I think it's a good thing there isn't going to be so much screaming.

I used to love Trivium, but after a while Matt's vocals and ego grated on my nerves. (Eleventeen)

Who doesn't? lol It's gonna be a great album. I wonder if it will get any radio play here...


from what I understand the bigger markets in Texas have Metal stations. But here we only have one rock station. So we never here Trivium on the radio

[exup]

if matthew dude wasn't trying to grunt half the songs, it would be more enjoyable to listen i think..
but than it also would be more standard.

damn aren't there any good singers anymore?

[Charizard]

Tons of good singers out there still...

Yeah, that is just the same where I live. I hate the music they play on our one "new" rock station:Nickelback, Greenday, etc.

[Shadows Within]

We only get one metal radio station up here and it sucks but sometimes they'll play tool and BLS.

[encmetalhead]

we have like a pure rock station that plays the commercal metal bands like dope and shiz like that

[benfan]

Yes he is. See him live. Trivium is just awful live. Matt can't sing. Clear or Screams. Corey made many mistakes on guitar. Too much looking cool and not enough in the focus department.
Their riffage sounded really bad live too. It's just barre chords in Drop D.

Iv seen Trivium 3 times, will be 4 come download, everytime iv seen them they have been amazing, the guitar work was impecable, the stage presence was amazing, the way they interacted with the crowd was fantastic, Heafys vocals arnt the best but they are still damm good for a 20 year old, the last time i saw them he didnt 'scream' but used a more raspy heavy singing style which worked really well.
The barre chords in drop D comment, well some songs contain the standard drop d powerchord riff, but most of the time oly as an intro, Trivium tend to use more string skipping and pedal note riffs, and some of there riffs are really good.
Corey didnt make any mistakes when i saw them, he played really smoothly and made everything look so easy, he is also one of the best in the business for circle headbanging too:)
I cant wait for 'The Crusade', i think Trivium have the oppurtunity to build on ascendancy and really show people what they can do, its bieng bigged up alot and hopefully it will meet the hype and propell trivium into massive band.

[Drunken Viking]

Any live vid I've seen of Trivium they have been really sloopy. And they can't even keep time that well live.

[Grumma]

That lack of keeping time is intentional :p

All I can say is,

I came into the show, liking them a lot. I left the show not into them much anymore. I listen to them a bit, but hardly ever.

[HauntedDevil]

I love this band alot! They are really talented and Matt Heafy's white Les Paul is pretty damn shexy looking.

[toolfreak]

Well i dont know what live video youve seen buddie. whenever ive seen them they have been realy good. We'll just have to wait till download :chug:

[Moot]

I really listen the band for the guitars, it's not that the vocals are bad but not really my taste. Still a great band though.

[Trivium616]

Meh, I saw them live with In Flames. I have to say while In Flames was amazing, Trivium pretty much sucked. The singing was terrible, the guitars sounded bad, I could barely hear the bass. The drumming wasn't bad though. They just need to pull it together when they are playing live and everything will be okay.

[Drunken Viking]

Well i dont know what live video youve seen buddie. whenever ive seen them they have been realy good. We'll just have to wait till download :chug:
Go watch any video from www.youtube.com.

[Huber]

Not only are most of the things people are saying about Trivium's live show pretty much false, but they are all little oversights anyways. There are sloppier bands and worse vocalists that people on here would have sex with because of there "awesome live show".

86/87 pages on this thread is one big fat argument over Trivium's live show. Most people in here have seen Trivium in person, including me, and we know that they are spot on. You can't argue with that.

Get over it.

[nowitzki]

Check out the LLTTF live video on here: http://uvtv.info/trivium.php
I found it very good, Heafy's vocals seem to have improved, hes actually singing most of the song now, instead of making the crowd sing all the clean parts.

[SimonCore]

Yeah i was so happy he did that when i saw them. The only part he didin't do was the 'PULL, HARDER, STRINGS, MARTYR,..." and Corey did most of that.

[i am the robots]

That's good to hear... maybe he finally stopped sucking.

[Britton]

That's good to hear... maybe he finally stopped sucking.



I hope to god so.


I'm gonna go learn a Trivium song

[DanD]

It seems to me that the people who really like Trivium believe that their live show is amazing and flawless, while people who dislike, or just don't really care about them, think that they are really bad.

Just my observation.

Good observation.

[SimonCore]

Ok to settle this whole live argument. The truth is, if your a Trivium fan, you'll find there live show amazing full stop. If your not a Trivium fan, but you do not dislike them because they appear in Kerrang! every week then you'll find their live show energetic and generally very good even though you don't know the songs. If your one of those people who hate Trivium because they appear in Kerrang! every week, then your determined to hate their liveshow...even iif you secretly enjoyed it...which you would!

[nowitzki]

It seems to me that the people who really like Trivium believe that their live show is amazing and flawless, while people who dislike, or just don't really care about them, think that they are really bad.

Just my observation.
I think that may be because they are very confident on stage, which some may see as arrogance.
Also the majority fans usually enjoy the whole live experience (singing along, headbanging, moshing etc), where as others will probably just be paying attention to the music, and picking up on any flaws.

[Drunken Viking]

I like Trivium, but I still think they are pretty bad live. I mean if you're gonna be arrogant, then atleast have something to back it up with. With Heafy going "WE ARE ****ING REAL THRASH METAL" it gets really annoying. Corey makes mistakes, then just does a squeal to make it seem like he didn't. Also, they should atleast keep time they rush so bad a lot.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

I agree, you should go to concerts to do the head banging etc., not just stand there and listen to the music. You will enjoy the concert much more if you get into it, and you won't notice every little mistake. Why don't you all try to get up on stage in front of thousands of ppl and not make a few mistakes. A few mistakes is normal for any band that hasn't been around that long.

For all of you sippin on the hatorade :) you must admit they are fairly sound instrumentally. I do hate it when he cuts out verses because he is away from the mic.
Also where is all the talk of arrogance comming from I want examples before I shall be swayed!

[Grumma]

Theres plenty of example of Matt's arrogance out there :p
But i dont mind that: the kids got confidence and good on him :)

[i am the robots]

I hope to god so.

:lol: don't we all?

[Grumma]

*bump*

Does anyone know if any of the Trivium singles were released in Australia or do we suck?

[Britton]

:lol: don't we all?



We do


I'm not sure if they put out any singles in australia...you might check their website. or the billboard


We suck...they never play them in S.A but we are a smaller market. I know they play them in austin and houston

[Drunken Viking]

Examples of Heafy's arrogance:
Comments on Triviums new release "The Crusade"
"...and then 11 ridiculously technical thrash songs,"

On why he thinks Dimebag's widow wanted to hang out with Trivium,
"When she first saw us play, she hadn't heard a live tone like that or seen a crowd reaction like that since the Vulgar Display of Power Days"

At any concert in which Heafy is present and playing,
"We are ****ing true thrash metal!"

That is an oversized load of bullsh1t. There is no way their live tone was as bada$$ as Pantera's, and no way their crowds or fans are nearly as large in #. Also, if some people think they suck live, that must mean they aren't as good as Pantera live.

And yes, that is perfectly normal for a famous 20 year old to be over confident.
