[QUOTE=A Spoonful Supreme]okay let me piss everyone off and say: wdf is trivium and why did they name themselves something so gay and irrelevant?[/QUOTE]
'cause it's coool.

but i would like to know whether they just made it up. is it a word in any language? its sounds kind of like [I]trivial[/I], but that would not be consistent with their all-over un-trivial music.

[QUOTE=Drunken Viking]Cool.

Did anyone else think that song was ok, nothing to special. The first solo was pretty much a Slayer rip-off. Whammy bar with mindless shredding.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that song wasn't too bad. Really reminded me of Metallica in some parts. Yeah that did sound like a Slayer solo rip-off. I don't think the drums sound as complex as they did on Ascendancy. We will have to wait and see what the other songs are like though, may be in for a surprise.

Trivium has something to do with the apocalypse. I think it's something along the lines of, when the antichrist comes on Earth, Jesus will return and everyone will be judged except for a certain number that had a minimum number of sins. Jesus would reign over those that weren't judged for 1,000 years. I think that period is called Trivium. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't like triviums new direction

Their bassist is an asshat on AIM. ftr

He blocked me for saying Matt sounds like sh[size=2]it[/size]. :(

Anyone else think it's ironic that in both the Pull Harder and Gunshot vids Matt is all metal and stuff, but now that Dying in Your Arms has been released he's turneded into more of a scene kid?

Trivium is a real word
Look it up on wikipedia and it comes up with something else other than the band.

And I dont see how it is ironic at all that Matt's image has changed somewhat

I meant that Dying in Your Arms is more, well emo then the rest of the songs from that album.

Matt is GHEY he doesnt even scream the old songs anymore making them even GHEYER than him

The new direction is more thrash. I like it!

Lol, ahh funny post. Yeah I can't stand Dying in Your Arms. You go through the album wanting to go kill something, like a genuine metal album. Then you get to DIYA and you want to break the cd. It just reminded me a lot of emo.

yea yea, definately. well, more emo-influenced than plain emo. i really dont likethat song. its the only trivvers song i never listen to.

That's what I meant, emo-influenced. One more thing to add:Heafy looks like a damn monkey.

It's my favorite song from them, I mean I still like the rest of the album, but the vocals bring down the songs a lot.

a gunshot to the head of trepidation is my fave metal track of the new millenium. i love the guitar work. trivium i think are quite repetitive however gunshot being the standout track.

[QUOTE=Drunken Viking]I meant that Dying in Your Arms is more, well emo then the rest of the songs from that album.[/QUOTE]

Declaration and Departure are more emo IMO.

Not that I would say any Trivium is emo because the general message of songs such as DIYA is that you always have the choice to "break free" etc

Declaration, emo?

It's nothing like emo. It's more thrash. I love that pre-chorus riff so much.

yeah, and it's certainly not more emo than DIYA. but then, as i have said before, the lyric in Declaration, "bear witness to me" is sung in a very emo-esque way.

Well considering the lyrics for departure are:

"this weight is so unbearable caving in my lungs
all my life is flashing in front of my eyes
run away from all the pain run away and hide"

I think it's slightly more emo than:

"when i shoved you far away now i live the life i dreamed of you're dead to me"

God, the word emo is being thrown around too much and it's annoying. I never used to like Trivium, and I call anyone who listens to Trivium an emo becaue I like their reactions to it, but I don't seriously think they actually are. Just because he sings melodically sometimes...

Quick question. Has Matt and Cory switched to Dean guitars for good? I'll miss the Les Paul if they did.

I thought they were only alowd to use them for that one tour.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]I thought they were only alowd to use them for that one tour.[/QUOTE]
Man, I hope so. I personally don't like MLs unless Dime is playing them.

I don't like them at all, so I guess I can agree. Corey's V is nice.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]I don't like them at all, so I guess I can agree. Corey's V is nice.[/QUOTE]Amen

They are using them since Dime's widow gave them to them.

I really like the new direction Trivium is going in! Well thrash. And DIYA is not an emo song.

[QUOTE=Drunken Viking]They are using them since Dime's widow gave them to them.[/QUOTE]

That's what I read, but also that she'd let them use them for that tour.
It was in a Guitar World mag I believe.

[QUOTE=SimonCore]I really like the new direction Trivium is going in! Well thrash. And DIYA is not an emo song.[/QUOTE]

No one ever said it was emo, just that it sounds emo-influenced. And I was saying it sounds emo because of the guitar riffs and the sound of his vocals, not the lyrics, I really don't pay too much attention to lyrics unless they actually take quite a bit of thought, like LOG's. (not saying that Trivium's didn't take thought).

DIYA has direct roots with Matt's early Pop-punk stage. It's really as simple as that.

I'm going to make a drumtab for Pull Harder On The Strings of Your Martyr, does anyone have a recommendation for a tab editing program?
