I don't see an identity crisis at all. I think it blends really well actually. You might as well claim classic Opeth had an identity crisis while you're at it. "Are they death metal or prog rock?? These Swedes gotta make up their minds!"

I mean Metalcore is a genre that uses choruses that are "catchy radio rock" shit all the time, I don't see the indentity crisis at all.

Maybe, if the crisis lasts long enough, it just becomes your identity

Trivium have had those for catchy vocals for years, but I really feel this is their biggest weakpoint. The vocals melodies are always so generic it hurts.
And judging by the comments this album is saddly no exception. I'll give it a listen but I don't expect to much tbh.

Shogun has some of my all-time favorite metalcore songs, but this tops it. It's just consistently great the entire time.

trivium has never been a metalcore band

Yeah the "metalcore band" tag has always kinda bothered me for them when they've always had that classic 80s heavy metal influence so apparent in their sound.
Like I think the sound of albums like Shogun and Ascendancy in particular is night and day with shit like Killswitch or As I Lay Dying etc. that they typically get thrown together with

You can be specific on the tags/influences I suppose, they have clear elements of Metalcore, Heavy Metal and Thrash but yeah I usually just call them Metalcore and not every thing they use in their sound, I wouldn't think calling them a "Heavy Metal" band achieves anything better.

There are plenty of bands that aren't "pure" metalcore that we still call metalcore. Trivium still clearly falls under the power-metal subdivision of metalcore which I'd argue is the most popular, not on this site but in general. A lot of people would call this version of metalcore the primary one.

"A lot of people would call this version of metalcore the primary one."
That's interesting. When I think of metalcore, I think of anything that spawned as "less metal/more core", bands like Botch, DEP, Converge, Norma Jean. Trivium, at least to me, sounds more purely metal and not having any hardcore at all.
Anecdotally, KsE released their big second album at the end of nu-metal's peak, and I still associate them as a survivor of nu-metal, rather than a metalcore band.
