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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

After being deterred by the HIDEOUS advert I saw on TV for them, I checked them out and HOLY SH[size=2]I[/size]T 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.

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.

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)

Rain is similar to Silent Scream by Slayer.

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.

Still gotta see them live!!!!

[QUOTE=KittensInMicrowaves]Please tell me you are female! :p

He is an incredible guitarist especially at such a young age.[/QUOTE]

lol yes im female

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.

Trivium is not metal its emo

^^^
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?

[QUOTE=KittensInMicrowaves]What band do you think has the best screamed vocals (i.e. any harsh vox outside of death vox)?[/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Dark Tranquillity. Stanne's voice has an unprecedented harshness to it.[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=bigdudedrummr07]Trivium is not metal its emo[/QUOTE]

: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

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.

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".

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

young, talented dude

I love that opening riff in Suffocating Sight

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

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?

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:
