+George Baron They don't require a 7 string because you can tone it down to drop B on a 6. He even said that. So he's using the '6th string' to people with a down tuned 6 string.
You can actually just play the riff in standard E. Obviously it won't sound identical, but that's only in pitch. The riff itself can be played with a 6-string in E. When he says riffs that don't require a 7 string, he probably means the riffs won't involve 7 different strings, like chording on a BEADGB.
DamageIncM I seem to base my opinions on nostalgia. The Crusade? Poor, apparently. But that album got me into metal, and will always be special to me. It opened up the previous two albums for me as well. Then out came Shogun, and holy shit my dude it was amazing, even without nostalgia to back it up. The speedy solo in the title track gave me shivers and froze my entire body. I was around for In Waves release as well, obviously, and I was disappointed by In Waves (the title track, and first single release) but it grew on me and is now very nostalgic, which is why I like it now. Vengeance Falls has a couple of good tracks, but it never became nostalgic. SitS will be here in less than a month, I can't wait to see what that'll bring for me.
I'm actually amending my previous post. Silence in the Snow is a really great album. It is not the Trivium album I was hoping for but when judged as an album unto itself, it is extremely good...
0:25 Down with the Sky (Corey) 3:41 Insurrection (Corey) 7:31 Shogun (Matt) 10:20 Into the Mouth of Hell we March (Matt) 12:58 Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis (Matt) 18:26 Kirisute Gomen (Matt)
The guitars = Corey play's a Dean CBV (Corey Beaulieu V-Shape) 7 String. Only Corey has / had two of these particular models. One of them black (as shown in this vid) and the other one in black too, but with silver sparkle pinstripes. These 2 are Dean Custom Shop Guitars (Made in USA). The only "on the market" model is the Dean CBV 1122 in Red with just 6 Strings. THEY'RE NOT RAZORBACKS, even if Corey was the first to play a Razorback V-Shape. Well and Matt play's a Dean ML 7 String in White with a Trivium Logo on the 12th Fret. Also a Custom Shop Model, cause' Dean never made a 7 String ML in White for the market. Matt's Guitar which you can buy, is called the Dean MKH (Matthew Kiichi Heafy) Rising Sun AGAIN with only 6 Strings.
"He said down the sky not down from the sky" it could just be his American accent that is causing that anyway they wrote the song so they can say it however they like
I like how matt explains that is not necessary spend money in a 7 string guitar... just thicker strings for a 6 string, and then tune tour guitar in B Standard, and voila... problem solved! And for those guys who are not sure if is that possible, those guitars (matt's and corey's), are 25.5 scale lenght. So, is not necessary a 7 string.
“Gonna show you some stuff that’s you can play right away so you don’t have to run out to buy a 7 string or down tune” Proceeds by teaching a riff exclusively for 7string...🤣
He doesn't. He clearly says Down From the Sky. The only one I can't make out is In Waves. khdfiuosjdpisonifhfpwheoeInWaves lol And this is irrelevant, but do you know why he says Only the lonely on Suffocating Sight?
Shoguns unique quality that shines it away from other metalcore albums is their mixture of clean singing, harsh vocals and screams. Most other metalcore will scream and then sing a bit here and there. Also Trivium has a tendency to add dedicated guitar solos with emotion and technicality. Not many metalcore bands have guitar solos. Also they did an iron maiden cover.
+Dao Yang I personally think that they got away from core since ascendancy. After that they got their own unique style. Shogun does not even have a slight hint of metalcore in it.
Kiichi Kanyos You're kind of right and wrong. the core of Metalcore (hehe core of metalcore) is heavy metal and minor verses with pop and clean choruses. i.e into the mouth of hell, throes of perdition. But as I said you were right too. They mixed growls, screams, and cleans. Something very unique from the heavy metal genre. They should have done some more of that in In Waves. that album was completely metalcore but felt a bit more uninspired in regards to their riffs and the format of their songs. Ember to inferno, Ascendancy, and Shogun were all unique albums with very excellent writing.
looks cool but cant forget that i believe this is the only album were they just used dean's to record this masterpiece. Usually they always used their Jackson's and Les Pauls
Im aware that the techincal music thing says they aren't triplets but we are guitar players... no one says alright the pattern is two 16th notes one 8th note two 16th notes one 8th note and a quarter note, they say two triplets and a chug or just simply roll their tounge to the rhythm lol
