Firstly, I want Paolo's shirt. Secondly, I'm real stoked to see Matt going back to harsher vocals, I'm glad to see his healing process went well. And thirdly.... Dem blast beats caught me off guard. Looking forward to the album!
I think Trivium has earned every praise and headline show that will come their way. The Sin and The sentence blends so many styles together. Never before a band has done that in this variety and fashion. Other good bands would kill to have a album as that for a Best Of.... Trivium can just take the album, have their set, play it live and people will go crazy.
good point, and this album would beat almost any other Best of... album I could imagine even for my favorite bands. Trivium have reached a legendary status with this release
Chris B. I love trivium but I'd have to say you need to listen to more bands if you believe no other bands have blended various styles of music together in this fashion
i agree completely, there is really no subgenre to try and pigeon hole Trivium, there are so many elements to their music. This album goes from something super radio friendly (Heart from your Hate) to something brutal (Wretchedness) and so many things inbetween. The gang vocals was such a pleasant surprise that theyve really havent done. They keep evolving into their own sound. I dig this album more than the last two.
The title track, Beyong Oblivion, Wretchedness Inside, Other Worlds, Sever the Hand, Into the Fire...so many heavy hitters on this album it's crazy. My favorite album since Shogun and Ascendancy
because Trivium has no idea what is even good even after writing and playing it. They literally have no fucking clue, and shrug when their fans say they sucked ass from half of In Waves until after SITS. It's like they finally have someone giving them the direction they need to know how to make good music again.
Album is fucking AMAZING. I love their sound, and I can't wait to see what they can come up with next. I really hope, no I pray that Alex finds a permanent home with these guys!!!
I "found" Trivium with "In Waves". It was very important to me, at the time. I loved a few older songs too. I was very disappointed with almost everything after "In Waves"... Now, I must say, maybe this newest is the BEST of anything Trivium has made. "I.Fucking.Love.It!"
Miika Suominen If you like this new album. You'll like Shogun. It's like The sin and the sentence but a bit premature. I feel Their new album did everything right that was wrong in Shogun. Except endless night. What a shitty song.
Oh, I have listened all Trivium material and Shogun has awesome songs. No doubt about it. Earlier isn't to my taste and even though I totally can listen the stuff between In Waves and the newest one, they just don't appear on my playlist :) This newest is just one of the most beautiful "Return To Form" records, I have listened for a while. And that's fantastic!
Miika Suominen God damn you're right. But I hate VF and SITS. I only listened to a few In Waves songs. My favorite is Shogun. When I explored their music I listened to Shogun all the way through and went and bought it right away at the closest FYE. The sin and the sentence was a preorder for me. I love that album.
I think that Shogun and Ascendancy are of the best of Trivium style, now The Sin And The Sentence is part of the big three. In Shogun everything is beatiful, it's a travel to the mistyc world of mythology, the transmission is impressive, and in Ascendancy the pureness in all the tracks with such violence (excepte for Master of Puppets cover wich I personally hate), there are songs like Rain, Suffocating Sight (wich I want a new version) and Declaration, that track is awesome. I think that they kind of returned to that.
According to your name you're finnish, and they have the most harsh, badass death metal bands (Wolfheart, former Before the Dawn). And you say, Trivium's style before Shogun is not your taste? :D (don't take it very to the heart, just kidding ;) )
Thank you Paolo. Who gives a shit about the genre and type of music. "It's just Trivium" they love all types of music, so they incorporate it. The best bands do it. TRIVIUM will b here for a while. I loved the first CD and I love the most current and will love the last... why? Cuz it's TRIVIUM baby!
The funny thing about Trivium is they seem to want to please a mass audience, but they have no clue what's actually good, or what their fans really want. So of course they had no idea Sever the Hand was going to be a fan favorite. I'm just happy they are back on the right track.
For some reason I get the vibe that Matt and Palo have been arguing a lot lol. The past few interviews I have seen something just seems off between them. Regardless, this album is in my top 3 albums of all time
Why do people hate crusade so much? Its got amazing songs like entrance of the conflag, anthem, sadness will sear... Becoming the dragon was the first trivium song i ever listened to and it got me hooked.
he said he had no clue people would love Sever the Hand, and that tells pretty much everything about Triviums music career. THey have no idea what's good or what the fans even want. It's all shoot-from-the-hip happy accidents.
