Hey, glad to see the thread still going strong. I just got back from vacation and was blasting them in my headphones for 2 straight weeks!

Im gonna see them sometime this summer.

Seein them in september at oxford zodiac!gonna rule

I wish I could see them at ozzfest....:upset:

how many albums do Trivium have, just the one? and does he use the screaming-type vocals in all songs? i'm thinking of getting an album.

2 albums.He pretty much uses harsh vocals in all their songs.

ember to inferno
Ascendancy

i might get Ascendancy, i think the 3 songs i have already are off that album - Pull Harder...., Rain, Like Light to the Flies.

would you like me to upload the album?

no its alright thanks, i'll feel better if i buy it...besides, i wont have time to listen to it as i'm going on holiday tomorrow.

Please tell me you are female! :p

He is an incredible guitarist especially at such a young age.

Rain is my new favorite song.

Hmmm... to me Trivium's "Ascension" is fairly samey... all the songs seem to follow a similar theme. Plus, I don't really like the screaming on the album.

However, I saw them live at Download and they kicked arse. Seriously. The scream was vastly better, in fact every element of their songs was pulled off with a great degree of showmanship and skill.

I hope that Triviums next and third album will include a more evolved and varied sound... if so then I will consider myself a fan. Until then they are a band with a lot of potential and some talent that need not go to waste.

Jeez, i didnt realize how young this band was. That makes them so much better, they already were one of my favorite bands.

The opening of Rain reminds me of Slayer "Silent Scream" so much. CLASSIC

Yeah I just listened to both of them, haha, its so true. A lot of my favorite bands seem to be highly influenced by Slayer. Lamb of God especially.

Lamb of God definitely has those dark, evil sounding riffs that give off the Slayer vibe. If you want to be reminded of Slayer, get Darkest Hour's new CD Undoing Ruin, and check out tracks 3 and 8. They could've been off Reign in bLood!

Hold on, I'll upload the videos now, it might take some tme though.

Does Trivium do screaming for vocals? I'm looking for bands that are new that don't scream A LOT, some is ok but not like Hate Eternal and stuff like that.

They use harsh vocals quite a lot. They don't have crazy metalcore screams though. Their clean singing is very good. If you can get past thge screaming, they are a very good band. They have awesome guitar melodies and such. If you wait a little while you can download a video from them, hold on.

Like light to the flies video:

They do leads and solos and stuff too, that's a big thing for me.

oh yeah they do some awesome lead work, although some of their the solos seem lifeless.

They have 2 albums to my knowledge but may have more that i dont know about. he does use screaming in nearly all his songs

i love trivium i think they're great, and was shocked to find out today that the singer, matt heafy is only 19.

for being so young they are alot better than most of the other bands out there i mean they blow away jet and blink 182. theyre just insanly good for being so young. i'm trying to figure out a shot to the head of trepeadation but after the first couple of riffs i'm blown away by it.

Blink guys are old dude. plus metal usually blows away punk or copied stuff easy.

i'm seeing them this coming wednesday with shadows fall, in flames and mudvayne. i can't wait

I orgasm everytime I hear that song. My god its so good. Best album of 2005 IMO

it said on their site forums that they were shooting a video for a gunshot to the head of trepidation. im pretty excited for it.

[QUOTE=sack-man]i might get Ascendancy, i think the 3 songs i have already are off that album - Pull Harder...., Rain, Like Light to the Flies.[/QUOTE]

deffinatly get it all the other songs rawk too.

I really wanna see the gunshot to the head of trepidation video.

Yeah it says on their site it will be up soon, but unfortunately they had to use an abbreviated version of the song for the video. Its supposed to kick *** though

I just checked out a couple tracks from Ascendancy, The music is fantastic, the clean vocals are excellent, but the screaming ruins it for me. I wish these newer bands would stop that screaming crap and just sing. They reminded me of Killswitch Engage, another band that can rock hard but ruin it all with the screaming yelling type vocals.

I love the screamed vocals, they make the music more intense. KsE and Trivium have some of the best screamed vocals around

At first I waas not a fan of screaming vocals, but I gave it a try, and I like the vocals now, like kittensinmicrowaves said, it makes the music more intense. Drowned and torn asunder is just incredible, i can't stop listening to it.

I wouldn't say Trivium has the BEST...they're pretty generic screams.

What band do you think has the best screamed vocals (i.e. any harsh vox outside of death vox)?

[QUOTE=KittensInMicrowaves]What band do you think has the best screamed vocals (i.e. any harsh vox outside of death vox)?[/QUOTE]


I 2nd that question. I think that both KsE and Trivium have awesome harsh vocals. I can't think of anyone with better screams and growls.

After being deterred by the HIDEOUS advert I saw on TV for them, I checked them out and HOLY SH[size=2]I[/size]T are they good. The riffs, the vocals, THE SOLOS, everything. Fantastic modern band, and proof that metal is just as good as it has ever been.

IMO the Trivium scream isn't all that great. But their live version is much better. Less generic, more anguished and just generally far more powerful.
