lol

Video is hella cheesy but the last minute of this song is the best thing they've done in years

Does it suck the biggest of booty cheeks like their usual recent material?

so he's gone from pretending to be James Hetfield to... Chad Kroeger?

Looks suitably edgy :]

Sounds like a combination of all their previous work. New album should be interesting.

Also, the new drummer seems to be pretty good, hope they keep him.

good to see atreyu is still around

I miss the Shogun days.

Cool drumming tho.

I actually like it a lot compared to their last few albums.

There is nothing outright BAD about this. It's just really boring and uninspired sounding.

Love Matt's vocals on Ascendancy don't care what anyone says

I expected this to suck, but I'm surprised. This is a step in the right direction for them. The drumming is on point.

Right on Alex

lmao

God those vox are so ridiculously monotonous

never liked this band to be completely honest, I mean I should, but I don't

Pretty average tbh

Not a fan of his vox but song's okay

smh

Song has my attention.
The last minute has Matt screaming better than he has in years.
Shogun-esque solos and tunings are a plus. Could they finally be making Shogun 2?
I like this drummer, keep him ffs

pretty solid song honestly. The last minute of this has Shogun vibes.

The last part of the song is fuckin sweet, this is the best thing they have done since vengeance falls

The screaming is basically all it took to make this the best thing they've done in a while.

This is better than anything off of Vengeance Falls

His screaming had deteriorated

Not been this excited about a Trivium album since In Waves

I thought it was awesome. Always a good day when Trivium release new material. I enjoy all their albums.

Holy shit 8 albums

Song sucks, and why does every music video always have some shit with Matt being imprisoned or something lol

Really good drumming though

Pretty good song, not revolutionary but a good modern metal song I'd say.

Much better than what I expected and for the love of God I hope they don't fire this drummer.

Usually I love Matt clean vocals but they too boring on this track . Loved the growls and the last min . Drummer sounds good . Didn't know they found a replacement but based on the latest 2 drummers they might fire him soon :-)

Enjoyable.

Actually quite enjoyed this, not listened to them since in waves but this has caught my attention.

Hate most Trivium, but this was bearable at least. New drummer has got some chops for sure.

Genuflect

This is a huge improvement over their previous album. Cool that they're getting the growls back in there as well. Looking forward to this new album.

Hopefully they'll keep this drummer around.

Well the drummer was originally from Battlecross so it's likely he'll fit in just nicely.

fuck I haven't listened to this band since Ascendancy and this was actually pretty okay
Kind of sounds like what I imagine All that Remains was going for when they went all clean vocals but kept missing

Average song, but if including these lame ass blast beats was the "black metal" influence they were speaking about I'm pretty disappointed.

listenable

I can't stand this guy's cleans. Why does the singing have to be over the top? Sounds like a watered down version or either KSE or old All That Remains. Generic early 2000s metal.

"Average song, but if including these lame ass blast beats was the "black metal" influence they were speaking about I'm pretty disappointed."

They've been using blast beats in their music since at least 'In Waves'. I am not sure what they mean by "black metal" influences, but they surely mean something other than blast beats as that's not at all new for Trivium.

Black metal Trivium lol. 100% guaranteed that is Matt Heafy saying anything he can to try to hype the record and make it sound interesting.

why does he sing like that : (

what the fuck this is pretty good

It's a step in the right direction. Worst part is the 80s riffing in the first and second verse

Yeah, I feel like the verses could've been spiced up riff-wise, but the chorus, solo section, ending, and drumming are solid.

why do they make the shittiest videos

cause they're a shit band

They have so much potential, shogun is still a great album.

This was not near as bad as I expected it to be.

This is good one so far
