#Trivium
The guys were only between 18 and 20 when this song was released . Pretty amazing to me. I would recommend “Throes of Perdition” or “Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis” from Trivium. Great reaction 🤘🏻
ill put them on the list!
Great picks!
BOAT! RUDDER! STRANGE MOUNTAIN!
right
Yeah I agree with the cadence of his clean vocals on this album. He really improved his vocals on the silence in the snow album and the albums after that after he blew his voice out touring.
wowee
I agree with your take on the smooth vocals, Trivium also has a tendency to overstay their welcome with the lengthiness of their songs - but that crazy background music is pretty great
right
Size matters shogun is fire
Great band to take you on a journey of the last 20 or so years! Shogun is a MASTERPIECE album, and the track Shogun that ends the album is a masterpiece in and of itself! A maturation of this album for sure
i dig it, I'll do it!
I loooove the screaming in the song.
Me too. That chorus would NEVER be as iconic if it wasn't for the screaming, and Matt this a great fucking job at it!
PUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, HARDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR
As off cadence as the chorus is, I find that has become my favorite part.. it just fits for some reason.. for a freshman record this album kicked ass. Overall a great band 👌
oh, that was their first? i try not to read too much about bands because it can color reactions!
This was their second record, not first, but I agree. This album is incredible and Trivium are a fantastic band.
You should check out 2 Songs from "the sin and the sentence" album. " The Revanchist" and "Sever the Hand" These ones are bangers :) Greetings from Germany
thanks very much! i will!
The revanchist is so fire
Trivium can be a little hit or miss from time to time, but Matt Heafy is always an absolute fuckin' riot and a really rad dude. He'll tell you himself though that 'Martyr' represents some of the earliest incarnations of what would eventually develop into their kind of signature sound, and how very green he was as a vocalist at the time... You can definitely keep track of the changes album to album and really see how they come into their own over the next two to three or so records, with the following 2006 outing "The Crusade" (prior being 2005's "Ascendancy" with 'Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr' on its tracklist) being one of the quintessential foundations for their unique signature sound. The following albums seem to really temper and hone that into a more polished and refined style, with some experimention and sort of branching development along the way. Some of it is a little... Well, you'll see haha. Can't all be gems right?
Yeah I wars a pretty big fan of Trivium back in high school, so this would have been around '06 - '07 or so (graduated '09). At the time I was in one of my first "real" bands, and my drummer - and best friend - at the time actually introduced me to Trivium. He was quite the fan of their drummer Travis Smith and looked up to him as one of his heavy metal heroes, so while we were spending a Friday evening at his house doing some songwriting he pulled up "'Martyr" on the computer; specifically to allow me to hear the percussion and bass aspects of the track in order to spur some inspiration for the fast-paced, double-bass heavy bit of riffage we were working on. I ended up listening to the song three times in a row and immediately demanded that he show me more, haha.
Funny story too tho... The song 'Anthem (We are the Fire)' kinda became one of our band's "power tunes" or almost a sort of battle cry if you will. It's got angsty angry teenager injected into every damn bar, and looking back now it's hilarious 😅. However at the time, we wanted to scream this song and others as loud as possible into the faces of every single "brainwashed sheep" kid we passed in the hallway, bahaha. We would imagine playing it over our school's intercom one day while we ran around breaking stuff and taking the Lord's name in vain or something. For some context, we were the only five metalheads in a small private/parochial Lutheran high school in small town Wisconsin where everyone knows each other whether by geography, blood, or through the church synod (the other four were all one year below me actually, met through church and truly connected through a guitar clinic with Slipknot's Mick Thompson at a local music store). Our high school was literally sandwiched between a couple big-ass corn fields and neighbored by a bunch of farms. Here we were to be forged, force fed religion on a daily basis by our parents, teachers, and peers alike while simultaneously living as social outcasts, no companionship or support aside from eachother and no real healthy outlets to channel our emotions beyond music and what we had to seek out ourselves. Naturally we became best friends and immediately formed the heaviest and most edgy band ever because we had to do the polar opposite of what our judeo-christian status quo demanded in every way possible while displaying it obnoxiously for everyone to see. We were rebels and we were damn proud, and we wanted everyone to know it. Naturally we were insufferable 😆😅🤣. Parents wouldn't let thier kids invite us to things or hang out with us because we were a "bad influence" and likely drug dealers or literally possessed/surrounded by diabolical forces, or both; depending who you asked. Obviously we were neither other than the weed we smoked occasionally, but I digress.
Anyhow it was all quite utterly cliché and would probably make a great metalhead cult classic film or something... What was especially difficult was our single source of joy and light being ripped from us day in, day out in the attempts made by school faculty, parents, and religious leaders to separate us from what they considered to be the source of our "unruly" or "undesirable" behavior. Our parents even tried banning together at the behest of school faculty to confiscate our music collections, literally taking away our CD and tape libraries and "screening" anything that we may aquire afterward (MP3 players were expensive then and only one person had one, and digital music libraries weren't too ubiquitous for teens yet). Yeah, pretty messed up right?
Furthermore we weren't even allowed to fly our proverbial colors day to day in the form of band logo clothing, accessories, etc., nor don anything related to metal music or culture. The school dress code forbade clothing and any other items depicting music artists and logos, and some truly maniacal teachers/staff would really go about stretching the limits of what exactly constituted this designation. Obviously we wore band shirts and stuff all the time anyway because of course we did, and I mean fuck them anyway right? It was a game we would play to see how long we could make it through a day without a teacher noticing our band shirts, at which point we would be forced to wear our shirt inside-out for the rest of the day. I got real pissy one time on the anniversary of Dimebag's death when asked to turn my tribute shirt inside out, so I stood up in the middle of class and did as commanded after making a thing about it for a few minutes first. Yeah they did NOT like that being wound so damn tight, and I got in a lot of trouble for it. However I was also in really good shape back then and looked fine as hell, so wouldn't you believe it but I had *no* problem whatsoever finding a date for homecoming that year. The ladies in my third hour Religion class must have liked what they saw and spread the word, cuz I wound up getting asked to the dance by a Junior as a Freshman afterwhich I proceeded to date that Junior for the rest of the year 😁. Big Dick Swingin', as they say I suppose.
Well gee, I sure feel better. Might've been holding onto some resentment there and hearing this song again just brought so many frustrating yet heartwarming suppressed memories back to the surface!
Damn... Sorry about that dear reader.
have you put Power Snake by Brothers of metal in your list yet? Thats what's known as norse metal or mythic metal tells a story about mythology
i have now
React to 'Loco' by Coal Chamber
on the list now!
Would also Highly recommend Einherjr By Hulkoff - peak shit right there
sounds good
Not all metal is story telling some of it is just nuts to buts off the wall shit
yeah, but it's still nearly impossible to tell where song and artist part, so it's best to assume they dont really believe in whatever. i mean, that was the WHOLE POINT of say, slayer. "we tell little horror stories, man, we don't believe in a devil". read that in an interview with them
