Ascendancy is my new favorite song of all time

Finally...People who actually appreciate this band. I suggest that you all listen to the song Suffocating Sight.

Simply amazing

They are soo good. There singer is barely 19, he cant even drink in the US. They are for sure one of my favorite bands. And get this..They have melody!

Yeah that song has so many good riffs.... the chorus is great too

The bassist tried to get my mate to give him a blowjob. She hit him, which was funny. Good band though, was very impressed with the live show, very tight indeed.

:lol: :lol:

Their bassist does look like a bit of a pretty boy... funny story dude

[I]Ember to Inferno [/I] was rel-released with 3 bonus tracks, including a Slayer cover, I do believe. It's worth checkin' out if y'all can't find the original.

I have the bonus, it includes The Deceived (from Ascendancy), some other unreleased song that songs like it would have been off of Ascendancy, and Demon (from the demo). Is this the one you're talking about?

I believe it is. I don't have it; I have the original but my friend let me listen to it. I guess he bought that along with [I]Ascendancy[/I].

The one song is friggin awesome, track 13. I forget the name, I'll check it when I get home. Deceived you've heard, and the song from their demo (while pretty brutal, no clean vox), isn't very good. Its actually heading towards death metal territory, which makes sense seeing as how Matt Heafy is in a death metal band, Capharnaum

My favorite song is off of their first cd, Ember to Inferno. The song Falling to Grey is just amazing. I'm kindve tired of people comparing them to Metallica.
Metallica doesnt deserve compliments like that. :thumb:

I'll give a quick comparison IMO, obviously Metallica still is one of the legends of thrash (for three albums at least) and brought metal to the mainstream more than any other band

Vocals: slight advantage Trivium, Hetfield's voice is classic sure, but he doesn't do much with it, he sings great, but his growl is tame (although at the time it sounded fierce), and lately the vox have been awful. Heafy is incredible, he has the best metalcore growl I've ever heard, very powerful, and he can sing melodically or fiercely (a la Hetfield)

Guitars: slight advantage Metallica, Hammett's soloing is legendary and Metallica has some of the best thrash licks ever written. Trivium uses dual lead more effectively as well as more melodic with their guitars, and can generally play as fast as Metallica

Bass: push, Cliff was great, but Newsted was only so-so, trivium doesn't feature their bass playing a whole lot, neither band emphasizes it

Lyrics: push, Metallica has had many more songs to win this portion but Trivium's ETI was an amazing concept album with poetic lyrics. Metallica dealt more with gov't although lyrics on past three albums have been awful. Trivium has better song titles

Drums: BIG advantage Trivium. Lars sucks and I never thought he gave the band any edge with his drumming. Travis is incredibly fast with his double bass and his presence is always felt in Trivium's music

So, slight edge to Trivium although it is tough to compare because Metallica has so much more material and historical relevance, and their new stuff is god awful. Let's hope Trivium stays strong, I think they are only getting better

I actually see some slight similarities to Hetfield's voice in some Trivium songs.

Instruments great, besides bass, which didn't seem to do much. Vocals, I dislike, the cleans were good though. I'll put on Dying in your arms or Like Light to the flies every so often.

Yeah most notably in the chorus of "pull harder".....

I'm trying to get into Trivium what are some good songs to check out?

[QUOTE=6Stringer]I'm trying to get into Trivium what are some good songs to check out?[/QUOTE]

"Falling to Grey", "A Gunshot to The Head of Trepidation", "Requiem" and "Drowned and Torn Asunder" are pretty good songs to get introduced to Trivium by.

I like Trivium, I need to get their latest album.

I implore you to shell out the 15 bucks to buy [I]Ascendancy[/I]. Today.

What is so good about them? I'm sorry but I have trouble separating them from the rest of the bands of today. They sound very generic and the vocals to me suck.

Yea, i think the weakest part of the band are the vocals...

However, they do write some decent solos...

I don't understand lots of these metal bands everyone is drooling over, they are pretty good sounding but have the worst vocals ever like In Flames or Lamb Of God.

I take it you are a fan of clean vocals?

That's nice and all, but don't come in here bitching about it, dude. Because most of us don't give a sh[size=2]i[/size]t.

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]I take it you are a fan of clean vocals?[/QUOTE]

No, it's just that there is no distinction between them they all sound the same.

fixd.

Ever hear thrash or death dude? Some of those bands don't sound the same??? Find another thread buddy......

:evil:

The breakdown in suffocating sight just gave me an orgasm.

[QUOTE=Detuned0]What is so good about them? I'm sorry but I have trouble separating them from the rest of the bands of today. They sound very generic and the vocals to me suck.[/QUOTE]

They sound very different to me, just because they do growled verses and clean vox doesn't mean they can't sound different... they do plenty of other stuff in their music to differentiate.

I am actually starting to get into trivium all that I have heard is pretty good I might go out and buy there cd and kittens where have you been of late?
