2. Oh yeah, I love hearing how depressed people are. Please do whine to me about how many people hate you! I really wouldn't rather be listening to someone SINGING about sex and drugs :)[/QUOTE]

Obviously you haven't read Trivium's lyrics. Then go listen to Motley Crue dude!!!

[QUOTE=xxXmetalmonsterXxx]i rather hear them whine then listen to potheads talk about how awesome it is to smoke pot and trip smokin pot ruins ppls lives scru that[/QUOTE]
Do be fair I think Motley Crue were on a little more than pot in the 80s....
I think the Metallica comparisons are a little premature but they are a genuinely exciting band and Im a cynical old git

And there you go again (but I'll gladly listen to the Crue :)).

I was referring specifically to
[QUOTE=xxXmetalmonsterXxx] 2.The voice of the lead singer he sounds like he is PISSED[/QUOTE]
I do not give a flying fu[size=2]c[/size]k what the lyrics are about, if you're going to make music thats basically a voice for your 'opression' I don't want to listen to it.

Thay're not bad, but I'd hardly call them the new Metallica.

Puuurlease

Sure the guy can sing/shout whatever you call it, but I'd rather hear a song about something that's interesting or that I can relate to, most of their songs are recycled lyrically.

And the guitar solos? Any one who can play the guitar will know how to make 'widdly' solos, just a few pull offs etc.

But I'd listen to Trivium...

I doubt Trivium will be the next Metallica...they aren't really doing anything revolutionary, like Metallica did.

Also, i don't wanna see the band sink into the craphole that Metallica did...the band has too much talent to fall into a Metallica-esque pattern.

they are revolutionary, they will be the band that leads metal back into the glory it once had. They are revolutionary in a community of nu-metal and the garbage that the music industry is pumping out.

Calling them revolutionary is ridiculous. Promising, yes. But revolutionary? No.

[QUOTE=StandingStill]Calling them revolutionary is ridiculous. Promising, yes. But revolutionary? No.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. I love their music and they have huge potential... but no, they are definately not doing anything revolutionary.

That was pretty dumb.

Still, I don't think they will be the next Metallica. The mainstream is too brainwashed for that. I go to a ghetto school and anything that isn't hip-hop sounds like scratching a chalkboard to them.

I bought Ember To Inferno, I liked it.
I bought Ascendancy, I liked it.

They really don't thrill me...like, all their riffs are very similar...they use a lot of overplayed rythm behind the leads. Like the solo on the song ''Like Light to the Flies'' at 3:55 or so...It's the exact rythm as the song ''Poision was the cure''(Outro Solo). I know a LOT of riffs have been copied and played a lot...but when I heard that, It dissapointed me. The solo barely makes it out of Pentatonic. Don't get me wrong...they're talented. It's just Just not what I expected that album to sound like.

On the other hand...
[B]Ember to Inferno[/B] was half-way decent. :thumb:

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]I smell a fan-boi.[/QUOTE]

well yeah mabey, but ive been obsessed with pretty much Metallica, with other bands that ive liked thrown in there.

Sadly I was sucking on a bottle when the black album came out. Trivium is the first good band ive heard that is active and at their best during my lifetime, so yeah, im really into them.

metallica, maiden, megadeth, priest, all the big names in metal were inspired by black sabbath, as well as maiden.

Trivium, and GOOD modern acts grew up listening to the bands that dominated metals glory days, seeing their influence in new music is really cool

[QUOTE=KittensInMicrowaves]He pretty much only growls, he doesn't go to a high pitched scream like other metalcore acts... I think his growl is a hell of a lot deeper than most metalcore acts

I like when he occasionally does the half sing/half growl like in the insane middle part of "Departure"[/QUOTE]
He plays with a high pitched scream in "Suffocating Sight".



Anyone else here on their forums?

Yeah nobody likes metal in the mainstream anymore, which is better, I'd rather not see Trivium get that popular. I hate posers who like a band because it is cool to like them

Yeah I see girls at my school wearing Killswitch Engage shirts and Unearth and it just makes me not want to listen to them, even though they are two of my favorite bands.

Trivium are already a mainstream metal band, and they are already very popular.

It doesn't necessarily make them a bad band to be somewhat mainstream, though. People talk about mainstream music like it is some form of taboo.

I didn't say it did. I don't like them personally but I have no problem with bands getting more publicity. The Black Dahlia Muder for example, are far from underground but they are still one of my favourate bands.

[QUOTE=spankyoplank]I've got to agree. I'm extremely skeptical of most music but when i heard this band i really thought that they were worth listening to and the guitatist kicks ***, i play bass but i can still see who ace that guy is. Even my closed minded Steve Vai warped friend admitted he was good (acheivement i tell you).[/QUOTE]

Your friend reminds me of a guy in my school, lol.

Trivium are far from generic, the guitar riffs are amazing, but they could do more with the bass.

I wish I saw more cute girls wearing those shirts... I'd have an easy in to nail them!!!

Thank you on the compliment.


Trivium is mainstream, but not to the extent of most other metalcore bands out in the media. They have very little fan base in comparison to Shadows Fall or Killswitch Engage. Saying that, Trivium has one of the fastest growing fan bases in metalcore. Trivium will probally explode fan population wise after the ozzfest tour.


On an other note, does anyone in this thread like Capharnaum? They are an other band of Matt Heafy's. He does lead vocals in this band, but I don't believe he plays guitar. They aren't quite metalcore or melodeath like Trivium is, they are a technical death band. I suggest fans of Trivium's harsh vocals check them out.

I have Capharnaum's album, very heavy, I like it. Heafy basically uses the same vox he uses in Trivium minues the clean stuff. Trivium isn't really metalcore, they are a mix of thrash, melodeath, and metalcore. Just call them metal!

I believe in a couple tracks later on in the album he uses actually death growl. I'm not too keen on if that is really him preforming those death growls on those tracks, but they seem to be well executed. A little more practice on those and he will have them mastered.

And most people refer to Trivium as metalcore. Technically, they are a melodic deathcore band. Trivium called themselves that on the intro to their old website. But as of now, Trivium likes to be called plain metal.

Yeah, the vocals you're referring to were done by Jason Suecof. He's the guy who produced [I]Ascendancy[/I], and is rhythm guitar for Capharnaum. Check out the BDM thread dude

And THAT is a prime example of over-genrealizing (my word). :thumb:

Metal works...it encompasses lots of stuff.

Melodic Deathcore? I'm sorry even if 'Deathcore' existed Trivium would not be part of that genre for the same reason they are not Metalcore, the reason being they have no Hardcore influence at all.

if you dont have anything to do, go to [url]www.fabchannel.com[/url] , you can stream the Trivium gig from Amsterdam a week or two ago from there :)

ive got ascendancy and its awesome i just need to find somewhere in the uk that sells ember to inferno

you'll have a hard time looking unless roadrunner licenses and re-issues it.
