I didn't like it that much, sorry. :-/

But thanks.

I've not heard them but apparently theres loadsa hype about them like theyre the next metallica and stuff, dont know if that means musically or "bigness" (famous, well known, nest big thing, you get the picture)

I don't consider them the new metallica, but they are very talented and young.

[QUOTE=Wish]I was listening to Dying In Your Arms yesterday, and it just dawned upon me that it sounds like New Found Glory. Not meaning that in a bad way, just the lead bit in the chorus reminds me of something NFG would do.[/QUOTE]

Dude shut up.... this is the worst post ever

Read GuitarWorld and Kerrang, both those mags think Trivium will be bigger than Metallica, and already consider them just about the biggest metal band on the planet

Biggest metal band on the planet :amaze:

Hey I didn't write it dude, the magazines did. Trivium still has a long way to go but they are immensely popular for a band with only 2 albums released so far.

The singer is described as a James Hetfield look-a-like.

As much as Trivium are a promising young band I really do not consider them the next metallica. People should not really associate bands as the next whatever because no band is going to be another metallica... and if they are they will just be sh*t copyers.

Trivium have a good niche at the moment in the metal market at the moment, combining ever-popular metalcore with thrash- something metal fans have been screaming for to return for ages.

What will really decide Trivium for me will be their next (and third) album. If they simply produce another Ascendancy I will not be very happy. Ascendancy was OK, but a lot of the songs on it were very similar and with the all-too-often-seen scream verse/ whiny clean chorus- something that IMO could do with being scrapped for the next album. If Trivium can keep their intensity and talent along with evolving in their next album then you can count me as a big fan.

Coincidentally I am seeing them again in Septemeber, whatever the faults of their first two albums they are still a great live band.

That would be kind of hard to pull off, considering he's half asian...

:lol: thats exactly what I was thinking :lol:

my parents r assholes,they wont let me buy acendency because theres a song about suicide on it (oh well, ive already downloaded like 10 of the songs on it).

Trivium will be the next Shadows Fall in popularity. I doubt anything more.

[QUOTE=Mekkalayakay]Trivium will be the next Shadows Fall in popularity. I doubt anything more.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Roadrunner is trying to make them seem far more revolutionary than they are with their incessant promotional campaigns, upholding them as "the next metallica", and "the saviors of metal". While Trivium is one of my personal favorite bands, and has been for quite some time now, they are not doing anything new, simply putting stronger flesh on old bones. There is no way they could leave an imprint on the metal community to the degree that Metallica did unless they get off the metalcore (if particularly thrashy metalcore) wagon. Besides which, there's almost no hope of music like this breaking into the mainstream, unless they sell out and release an entire album of generic anthemic radio rock like "Dying in Your Arms", which again won't happen if anything the band has been revealing about the new material they are working on is true.

[quote]unless they get off the metalcore (if particularly thrashy metalcore) wagon[/quote]

I don't see that happening. They're already great at the music they play, why should they switch? Metalcore isn't as bad a genre as everybody makes it out to be these days. I mean, ever since grunge and nu-metal happened, everyone seems to go "ohhh new genre, every new band is a bad bandwagon-jumping generic band". It's like, come on, not every new genre of metal sucks. Nobody complained when thrash first got big.

This should be stickied.

A gunshot to the head of treipdation is such an awesome song.

About 4 minutes into it they do this old school metal anthem thing. Where they keep saying HEY........HEY.......HEY. So cool to see them going old school metal. You guys know the part I am talking about?

Well that can only be taken in a bad way. This is one of the reasons I don't like Trivium that much. I know what this guy is talking about...

Actually, their next album if anything I've been hearing will be heavier and more technical, less clean choruses..... we'll see. Their vocals are far too heavy to ever break into the mainstream. They can get as popular as Shadows Fall and Killswitch, and the average human being in America hasn't heard of either of those bands anyway.

Dying in Your Arms is not indicative of Trivium's trademark sound. It was an experimental song, and the band has said they will not make something like that again. To not like them for that is absurd

Trivium are ok, I saw them at Download and they blow everyone away. But I don't see why on many magazines and website it says "SABBATH, MAIDEN, METALLICA and now TRIVIUM" and suddenly they are greatest metal band on earth right now??

That part is probably the best part in the song, or one of the many amazing parts.

That part is awesome.

That's one song. It's the worse song on the album. You don't like trivium because of ONE song?

Only think i hate about this band is the screaming, i can't stand screaming.

If you listen to any new school metal save for some power metal, there's gonna be screaming...I suggest you should get used to it.

I STILL don't see anything special about Trivium... :confused:

Just got the video of them playing the Metalhammer awards, and ****, Heafy is a madman. Hes a very good showman, i loved it when he goes 'THIS IS PULL HARDER ON THE STRINGS OF YOUR MARTYR!!!!! SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT!'

No problem. It will take a while though.
