The Trivium Thread

[wolfking]

Just did it.

Nice.

[Kotowboy]

One of my favourite moments from the new album :

In Rise Above The Tides - when Matt sings " We're Lost Forever , Were Lost Together " and then it goes up a tone and he sings it again with the harmonies.

Awesome moment.

[Kotowboy]

Oh and that Meshuggah-ish riff that comes in at about 2:30 in " Beneath The Sun " is pretty sick too.

[Kotowboy]

  Sorry to Triple Dip - but went for a long walk and listened to "Shogun" and FUCKING FINALLY - the album has clicked for me.

  Love it.

[Scorpion]

Fucking finally! Still their best album for me, the title track is pure brilliance.

Got the new album today, will have a listen to it tonight or tomorrow and report back with my thoughts, but from the songs already released I probably will like it more than Vengeance Falls, so that's something.

[Kotowboy]

I have yet to listen to Shogun the song. My walk ended before that. But yeah - Silence In The Snow > > Vengeance Falls and it's nowhere near as heavy.

The production is WAY better.

My top 5 right now :

1. In Waves
2. Shogun
3. Silence In The Snow
4. Ascendancy
5. Vengeance Falls

[wolfking]

So Shogun is number 2 even though you haven't heard the full thing?

Lulz.

If you listened to Master Of Puppets and then listened to 9 songs off Death Magnetic - you wouldn't be able to decide which one you preferred from that ?

[wolfking]

I rate Trivium's albums more closely than the ups and downs of Metallica.

Not sure if you have the Shogun bonus tracks, but make sure you get those if you don't, just as good as the album songs.

Shogun would be my second fav, after Ascendancy. 

I honestly don't know where I'd rate the new one.  It's just so different, unique and mature.

[Kotowboy]

I like Shogun and IN Waves mix of clean/harsh vocals. Ascendancy has too many harsh vocals for me and i'm not keen on Matt's harsh voice back then.

[wolfking]

I love his harsh vocals, always have, and possibly my fav singer when it comes to that department.  That's why I'm so surprised I like this new one so much.

I love the mix of cleans and harsh on those two albums too.

[wolfking]

The chorus to The Ghost That's Haunting You is fucking incredible.

[adace]

Wasn't really digging the new album at first but it's definitely grown on me a lot.

Favorites are: title track, Until the World Goes Cold, Ghost That's Haunting You, Rise Above the Tides

[wolfking]

Even though I really like this album, I hope Trivium don't abandon the harsh vocals for good.

[Anguyen92]

I like this new album, good enough.  I'm not one of those guys that will complain about the lack of harsh vocals.  I, for one, don't care much for it if it dominates the song.  It's fine in moderation like in the songs from In Waves though. 

Favorites, thus far.  Blind Leading the Blind, Rise Above the Tides, The Thing That's Killing Me, Breathe in the Flames, and The Ghost That's Haunting You.

[wolfking]

The Thing That's Killing Me is situated deep into the album that it seems to fly under the radar but it's an incredible tune.

[Cyclopssss]

Great album. Loving it.

[wolfking]

This is one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard.  It's not overly compressed or loud and you can turn it up and it doesn't distort, still sounds nice and clear.  The drums sound insane.

[mikeyd23]

Yeah I'm still digging this album too. Over the last couple days I've had a choruses from Silence in the Snow, Dead and Gone, Pull Me from the Void, Until the World Goes Cold, The Thing Thats Killing Me,  and Cease All Your Fire stuck in my head at different points in time.

So, like half the choruses from the album stayed with me,   definitely a great album in many ways: song writing, chops, production, but definitely also catchy choruses!

¡Charlie! ‏@david0akes 
@TriviumPaolo Hey. Just wondering. Did you record SITS to tape ?


 Paolo Gregoletto ‏@TriviumPaolo 
@david0akes nope

¡Charlie! ‏@david0akes
@TriviumPaolo Oh alrighty. i thought you may have done since Mike recorded the last Slash album to tape and SITS sounds really good.


 Paolo Gregoletto ‏@TriviumPaolo
@david0akes the tape saturation plugins are pretty close to the real thing now.





There you have it.

[wolfking]

Well, for a completely digital recorded album, that's quite impressive.

[Cable]

Yet another drummer switch.

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/trivium_debut_new_drummer_paul_wandtke.html

Am I missing something here? Last four albums, three different drummers. It all seems to go something like "needed a switch to keep the band going. Survival of the band, necessary switch for the energy."

I swear this release and the one for Nick were pretty close in reasoning.

[wolfking]

I wonder what happened to the last bloke.  His work on the new album was great.

[Train of Naught]

Wait Trivium has more songs than just Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr? (for real I only knew a few songs of Ascendancy)

I heard some of their newer songs (from In Waves and Silence in the Snow) yesterday when a friend had them playing, pretty cool stuff, they've become like a Rise Against with heavier instruments in their latest album, and In Waves (title-track) is fucking awesome.

Um, they have 7 full length albums.

[Train of Naught]

Yea I kid, just thought it was funny that I knew them at one point and then completely forgot about them until now.

Yeah it's weird. I really liked Nick's playing though.

Thanks bud.

[fadetoblackdude7]

It was Mangini who recommended him:

[wolfking]

Son of a bitch Mangini.  But I guess is Mangini speaks, you should listen. 

[Kotowboy]

So in a couple of years Trivium will have 3 albums in a row with 3 different drummers. . .

That's not really a big deal to me.

[snapple]

I picked up Silence in the Snow and I fucking love it. It's a great metal record.

[Kotowboy]

Catchy but good. Better than Vengeance Falls. Not as good as In Waves.
