two lesser known songs from [I]Ascendancy[/I]

[URL=http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1JN5QGVVMT2P832RXBLYIAJ1T2]Trivium - Declaration[/URL]

[URL=http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37Q1DLE99BNIZ3R99W75HAJDRJ]Trivium - Departure[/URL]

These songs are masterpieces, the thrash part in the middle of Departure is nothing short of insane, the death metal riff that comes in at :16 of Declaration is classic

in an interview with guitar world, Matt heafy said that declaration best represents trivium.
"It's got a little bit of everything that is Trivium: parts that are fast and angry, and others that are sloew and melancholic; elements of foreshadowing and irony; and best of all, constantly moving juxtaposition."

juxtaposition-To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.

Yeah one of my faves by them definitely, love the crushing thrash riff that closes out the song and album

That song comes a close second to "A Gunshot to The Head of Trepidation" on my list of favorite Trivium songs.

I saw Trivium last night. They were pretty shi[size=2]t[/size]ty really.

After the show I saw a few of the guys outside but went to get some water instead :)

Yeah OK better than the cr*p you listen to..... f*ggot hair metal, go put on some leather pants

oh god an opinon on the internet, what next.

I tend to think opinions in band threads should be more than 'they are ****' really. That kind of comment doesn't really lend itself to a interesting discussion now does it?

Trivium are amazing, saw em live about a month ago, have travises drumstick on my wall... these guys are going places...

Yeah, plus if you're into glam/hair metal, of course you would hate Trivium, why even go on the thread in the first place?

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I second this man's request for the album Ascendency.[/QUOTE]


hold on. I shall upload it. :thumb:

Thanks a bunch.

Ok, fine.

I thought they had some bloody good riffs, but overall it was just too heavy on the ear. I couldn't really pick out any nice melodies over the 'vocals' and drumming, and apart from some of the guitar work they didn't really appeal to me.

:wave:

Much better evaluation dude. I admit, for someone not into metalcore growling, Matt Heafy's screams would sound quite abrasive. The drumming is about as good as it gets outside of death metal IMO

Trivium aren't metalcore though, they're Metal.

[QUOTE=BlackDahlia]Trivium aren't metalcore though, they're Metal.[/QUOTE]

I'm with you dude, but so many people on this site call them metalcore. His screams are somewhat metalcore, although he uses basically the same vox in his other band Capharnaum, and they are considered death metal

Yeah I getcha better now. Appreciation of metal tends to depend on your ability to find melody in it. Not sure I agree that the drumming is that great? got any good examples?

I didn't say it was bad drumming, he certainly knew his chops, but I just felt it was all too overpowering on the music.

Rain is a good example of it, but he's just so solid throughout the album, the drums are always felt, whereas in many bands I feel the drums disappear a lot. You want to hear insane drumming, check out Darkest Hour's drummer, the guy is a machine.....

Please don't reply that so and so death metal drummer is a thousand times faster, LOL

Sorry buddy, I was talking to Kittens! Yeah hes a solid drummer, certainly better than some in the genre.

Ok, now that i have heard other songs by them except Pull Harder, i can give my judgement.

To me, they seem to be standard run-of-the-mill metalcore with better solos and a singer who actually SINGS. Otherwise, they don't really stick out for me. Sure, their drummer is better than others (younger too), and the guitars have pretty good solos, but the rest has all been done before.

not really,you can like hairmetal and other genres such as metalcore and thrash

Yeah, I love my thrash and death metal too :-/

I just can't ever consider these guys in the same genre with bands such as Hatebreed and Norma Jean, they are just metal to me...

But if I had to categorize, I'd say a mix of Gothenburg and thrash with metalcore screams/singing

______________
Trivium is the next Metallica alot of you would disagree with me here are my reasons
1. killer guitar solos of mythical proportion, i didnt even know you
you could do that **** with a guitar!
2.The voice of the lead singer he sounds like he is PISSED
Off and every metal head loves that.
3.Music videos, pull harder on the strings of your
martyr GENIOUS!!! who else could think up a sic
demented creature painting something but you dont know what and then a the end they show what he painted,
and its there motha F/N cd cover that is beautiful my friends.
their just an awesome band so think about that when you
say there just another metal band >case closed<

Not a fan. Not a fan at all at all.
