I never gave them a chance until court of the dragon... When trivium were coming up for some reason I got the impression they did not great old school Metallica worship

Yeah, for the most part they've been more of a Pantera/Iron Maiden cross.

The Crusade was pretty heavily criticized for sounding like Metallica when it came out, it gave them a bad reputation for a while.

I am a kid who likes ~everything, the first half of The Crusade is some of the best material they ever made and the second half is some of the worst. Detonation alone makes it worth a shot, it's peak Trivium on par with Rain.

Now that I think about it, the Metallica comparison feels forced. Take out Matt's harsh singing and the insane amount of gimmicks and there's barely any particular similarity.

Rain and the following track were my favorites on first listen. I'll definitely dive a little bit deeper figure out what Matt haefy's all about

Rain is fantastic. I rally like the title track and Like Light to Flies. Whole album is a riffathon.
