Best trivium song

Depp

What do you think is there best song? i'd pick Pull Harder

D.Q

rain.

Ascendancy was class.

Everything else was ****. Sooner the better they realise Metallica has already been done.

Depp

How can you even say that

Schism

She makes a fair point Depp, although I do have some love for Like Light to the Flies.

D.Q

I was at that Download performance; they played a fantastic show. As soon as I got home I got their Ascendancy album and played it to death. Nothing that they have done since has impressed me at all. It's like they peaked too early or something.

Am i the only one who thinks their albums got increasingly better?

My favourite song is probably Shogun, its got great verses, chorus and the clean bit is great. The main solo's a bit of a let down though but that little bluesy thing is good.

Depp

you are not

you my freind are quite the lucky man, where abouts in the crowd were ye, it looks rather savage

Yeah but the general thing that people say is that ascendancy is the best. It's a great album but i find The Crusade and especially Shogun to be much better.

Joe_Dull

I have to say, Ascendancy is one of my top 5 favourite albums - pure class from start to finish. As for one song, I think the title track pips it for me.
However like many others I'm sure, I just wasn't that impressed by their subsequent (and previous) output. Apart from 2 or 3 tracks The Crusade is fairly godawful, and Shogun is grand but nothing on their sophomore effort.

As I recall Trivium were the first band on the main stage on Saturday morning. I'd been trying to hunt down something edible for breakfast when they started playing. After listening a couple of songs I headed over to the main stage and I was just in time as the place filled up very quickly. I remember looking around at one stage thinking that there's never normally that many people up checking out the first band. I ended up pretty close to the front on the right hand side.

I was also at the Trivium gig in the Ambassador a couple of years ago and while they are undeniably talented musicians, they really just seemed to be going through the motions.

Patricide

I think trivium were the biggest fad in metal music ever. I dunno what it was like everywhere else around Ireland but when Ascendancy came out and they were hyped up to hell by metal hammer/kerrang etc as being the saviours of metal everyone seemed to buy it down here. In tralee they suddenly became everyones favourite band and i had to hear how class they were from everyone.

I tried to get into em but there music irritated me(bar the solo section in gunshot to the head of trepidation, which i later heard was wrote by producer jason sudacoff). Anyway 6 months later people were declaring there hatred for the band, and the only people i know personally that still like em are like 14 year old metal kids who are starting off getting into metal who eventually seem grow out of them.

LightofDarkness

I just saw them as a watered down metal-core act at first (like a Killswitch Engage for kids with more sensitive ears), then they became a Metallica wannabe band. I've always disliked them, and likely always will. There's such a plethora of much more talented metal acts that I can't understand the infatuation the kids seem to have with them. I recently watched them for a few moments at Download and they were just boring. Seems they've sort of gone by the way-side anyway recently, so I guess all the positive press in the world can't make the band inexorably popular.

Yeah I remember everyone pretending to not like them when that "WooooOOOAAAhh" song came out

lads i have triviums 4 albums and all i can say is there all master pieces and i'm proud to say that the crusade is one of my favourite albums of all times, shogun just showed how mature they are and how well they can use 7 string guitars they may have sold out but that didn't stop them making incredible songs.

O there great musicians, im not denying that fact. I just personally dont like there music, for me nothing theyve put out could be called a masterpiece. It kinda sickens me that most of there fans put em up there with metal greats like metallica/megadeth/slayer etc.

On the plus side they introduce a hell o a lot of kids to metal. Plus they can actually play to boot.

karlm49850

ah yeah man i get you we all have our own opinions and should be allowed voice those opinions without anyone arguing with us,
i would put them as better than metallic and slayer just cause i rather their music but there is no denying the fact that metallica made trivium

Hyperbullet

on a side note, they just revealed uk tour dates for 2010, expect irish dates to be announced next week.

Dude i love trivium to death but thats just disgraceful tbh!

Best trivium song is the title track from ember, or pretty much any of ascendancy.. dont care for the crusade.. shogun was a good return to form.

rainbow kirby

I enjoyed Ascendancy, but the rest of their albums don't do much for me. Best song by them is probably either Ascendancy or Pull Harder...

Dont you mean "The Antfarm, we're standing at the Ant Farm"

I loved Ember to Inferno, but Ascendancy was just their best bar none. I agree with the point made that they peaked way too early, but I do think Shogun was rather decent. It definitely had some class tracks, Into the Mouth of Hell We March being my favourite off that album.

As for favourite overall...

Like Light to the Flies would probably be the first think that comes to mind, but I've always had soft spots for Ascendancy and Washing Away Me in the Tides (from extended rerelease, if you didn't know already) and Blinding Tears Will Break the Skies.

ah dude i can't listen to any full song by slayer and metallica are great but i wouldn't class them past twenty in my favourite bands i find the likes of trivium bullet avenged bodom wintersun all better just what i'm into

BFMV, a7x and COB would be what I would class as "childhood angst bands", as in teenagers go through a phase of liking them, then grow up, acquire some taste, and appreciate good musicianship like slayer, 'tallica, megadeth etc. Ive never heard of wintersun so i wont comment.

:rolleyes:

karlm49850

thanks for you reply dude but megadeth is one of my favourite bands, but metallica really in my opinion arent that good, i have a good taste in music, a vast taste in music i like bands like trigger the bloodshed to the fray to kitte and arch enemy to bon jovi, and i respect you taste is music but that doesnt mean my tastes are any less mature thanks

Yes! In the same sentence you've claimed to have a good taste in music, but then said you dont care for metallica, but you like bon jovi?!

haha kittie is a girl metal band and see tries scream its funny : )
you may not think my music taste is good but its vast and i think thats what it takes to have a good music taste.
dude i like rap hiphop dance electro hardcore and all that and i think people who don't try and open up and try new fiorms of music is just closed minded.
but if thats there music taste i respect that and i cant say anyone has a bad music taste :P

If you want to see a girl screaming, go listen to Arch Enemy. It helps that Angela Gossow is rather easy on the eyes too

karlm49850

also listen to otep they have a girl screamer and a bassist the outshine the guitarist

Kittie seemed to be everywhere a few years ago. I can't remember the exact timescale but I assume they were riding the coattails of Evanescence's explosion in popularity. Whoever was marketing them forgot that it's one thing to have people take notice of an all-girl metal band but they have to deliver song-wise. If they don't then people are going to quickly move past them.

If you're interested in women that do screaming vocals check out the previously mentioned Arch Enemy and Otep as well as The Agonist, Save, Walls of Jericho, Circle The Sky, My Ruin, Bloodlined Calligraphy, Luna Mortis, Straight Line Stitch, Rolo Tomassi and Wykked Wytch and early In This Moment.

Apologies for going completely off-topic

Well I too share youre conviction on that - I like all types of music, from rap (NWA) to metal, Pop (Lady GaGa/Amy Winehouse), Rock (Foo Fighters) to Dance (cascada).... just dont get how you can like bon jovi and not metallica.. any way each to there own i guess

Continuing the OT may i second the recomendation of In This Moment, their album "Beautiful Tragedy" is worth a listen if female screaming is youre thing!

And by the way, these girls are awful! Like avril lavigne with a screaming backing track.. the music and clean vocals sound out of place with the screaming vocals!!

Maria Brink doesn't just scream, she's got quite a decent singing voice especially when she combines both clean and screamed vocals in the same song. She gets bonus points for being able to do both styles live as well...

Went to that Trivium gig in the ambassador awhile ago... to see Gojira as support and then left:pac:

I think COB's lyrical content and target audience (emo kids - similar to a7x and BFMV) would prove my point!

I never said Trivium were comparable to the rest of that tripe? I actually like Trivium a lot!

They dont say "we are emo" but theyre music always seems to attach that fan group. Theyre always lumped in with BFMV etc rather than with Deicide etc

Can't say I've ever heard of them being lumped in with BFMV, or anything emo at all. If anything, I'd say CoB would be closer to the melodic death metal scene, along with bands like In Flames and Arch Enemy.
