Seems weird to say. There's really no reason to like this one best unless you're somehow involved in it. And I mean, c'mon, a veritable celebrity commenting on a video he's featured in? That doesn't happen.
Matt just flexed so hard lol "oh you want 4 levels of Trivium? LOL how about four levels of songs I wrote when I was in High School?" All of these songs are from Ascendancy, aka an album that came out in 2005... Matt was 19. Level 1 is actually originally from Ember to Inferno, which is even older.
I vaguely remember Heafy getting popular, like "yo this kid is fucking GOOD." And now it feels like he's an old head, he's a legend for sure. That's just making ME feel old lol.
18 when he wrote on it, 19 when it was released... and he had an album and some demos before that even younger :D glad to see my fav death metal band showing Trivium and my metal roots some love!
@DP 91 I don't hate it, I just don't like that non death metal will be featured on a series called 4 Levels of DEATH Metal. That's why I said it turned into 4 Levels of Metal or it should be considered as such, as a general rule of thumb, but if it isn't, eh. I don't watch this channel much anymore so whatever. Plus, I like all sorts of non death metal. Scatman John, Primus, Slayer, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, and Tigran Hamasyan. I'm sorta widened in my horizons, to be fair
That was good. Watching Dean try to get that efficiency picking in there when it clearly needs them DP'S. I've been DP'ing for so long I can't wrap my head around the techniques that ol' Deano employs half the time.
I literally use Into The Mouth of Hell We March’s riff that pedals off the first fret and the main riff from Scylla and Charybdis to tighten up my rhythm playing whenever I fall into a period of crappy playing.
I love that all these are on their 2nd album Ascendency. I can think of a bunch of stuff off Shogun that gave me a lot of trouble and that’s all on 7 strings
brought me back to high school playing these songs (and most of ascendancy) with my old band. Just riffing in the garage in the summer, no jobs, no worries, just jams. love and respect.
Seen Trivium live 2009 and all riffs front row center with the original line up and they where the main band so had clear sound balanced and tone . Great video .
Pretty crazy when you realize these riffs are from their second album. I tried to learn suffocating sight in high school after one of the first big youtube guitar heroes, Killrbuckeye covered it. Was truly the golden age of metalcore, I spent my whole time trying to learn trivium, all that remains and killswitch engage riffs.
Matt went super easy on you guys. Some riffs from Trivium are just insane.Some riffs from Enterance of the conflugation, Drowning in slow motion and Beyond Oblivion are just brutal.
@@terogates1 Yeah i want that too but i feel like corey and matt can barely play that shit i dont know how they are going to pull that off when they struggle with like light to flies haha
both y'all out here thirsting over Matt's muscles/hair/downpicking/regular picking/voice/dp capability/everything else, but how is Dean not a member of Okilly Dokilly with that prime 'stache? it needs its own youtube channel.
I came to love Trivium from a movie. In the movie Smoking Aces, the scene where the Tremor Brothers roll up on Ben Affleck and lay him down with machine guns, "Like light to the flies" is blasting from the dark interior of the old muscle car they are driving as the windows drop and they open fire. They've been in my archive ever since. Perfect scream with melody integration. I love it.
No fucking way!!! My favorite band!!! The first song was the first metal song I've ever learned on guitar, Rain solidified my picking hand whilst annoying my mom. Suffocating Sight I still struggle with, that pre chorus riff is sexy. Please do a song together, that would be godly
I’ve been a trivium fan since like 2003 and I never realized how technical and hard Matt plays until I watched 2 other great guitarists try to learn his shit in one session. HOLY FUCK that guys right hand is nasty
Yes! Matt, thank you: Drop D-flat. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just sounds so much darker than "Drop C-sharp". 🔥🔥🤘🏻 And, of course, thank you Dean and Claire for the 4 levels of a band I know and love. 😁👍🏻
Trivium is my favorite band, so this was an awesome and slightly unexpected collab! Heafy's riffs are no joke at all, him, Hetfield, and Schuldiner were my main inspirations to start writing music. Great video, this was very fun! Now ima go play some old Trivium! 🤘
@@MurryFBM how is it generic if he did it before most everybody? He was doing that 20 years ago. Trust me I remember because I love metalcore and when embers to inferno came out there was hardly a scene at all for metal core for his style to ever be considered generic. You can't be generic when you're the four runner of a style.
That attitude toward trivium has mostly died out especially since they hit a winning streak with The Sin and the Sentence, What the Dead Men Say, and In the Court of the Dragon. Not to mention the neckbeard gatekeepers also love to hate Archsipre so it's unlikely they'd be here.
This was such a big boost to my confidence to see Dean struggle for once and with something I can play. I can't nail it though don't get my wrong and suffocating site is the only song I've ever had to do the yngwie pick arm flail, if you do the yngiwe pick hand flail in the pre chorus it stretches your arm and rejuvenates it slightly so you can torture it again in the next verse
All riffs from Ascendancy album. This proof that Ascendancy are insane albums and some people still thinking this album are not so great. Tbh, this is true underrated Trivium albums 😀
How surprising to see a guy like Dean fuck up songs like Rain. Man, To have played a lot of Trivium songs in the past, and tried 1-2 of Archspire, this is fucking counterintuitive.
I LOVE THIS EPISODE
omg it's Matthew "Girthy Arms" Heafy
🙏
Girthlord
Seems weird to say. There's really no reason to like this one best unless you're somehow involved in it. And I mean, c'mon, a veritable celebrity commenting on a video he's featured in? That doesn't happen.
The Heafy DeePee!
Matt Heafy: *Writes a riff*
My wrist:"And I took that personally"
💀💀💀
incredible
Dean "I like to touch my wife's shoulder a lot" Lamb
Bahahahahahaha.. they are too sweet together
In the vows when he said "you're my rock" he meant it as in "something to brace against now and then in case I might fall over".
Ascendancy still holds up today, great fucking album
Matt just flexed so hard lol "oh you want 4 levels of Trivium? LOL how about four levels of songs I wrote when I was in High School?" All of these songs are from Ascendancy, aka an album that came out in 2005... Matt was 19. Level 1 is actually originally from Ember to Inferno, which is even older.
Pretty crazy...
I vaguely remember Heafy getting popular, like "yo this kid is fucking GOOD." And now it feels like he's an old head, he's a legend for sure. That's just making ME feel old lol.
Yea, the album Ascendancy, which all these riffs are from, came out 16 years ago. And Matt just had twins in 2018 I believe! Time flies.
I started reading this as "I Vaginally remember" what's wrong with me?
*Face palm*... Ugh. 😞
He started young and received fame young so ya he's a young old head 😂
Dude I remember that I played "A Gunshot Through the Head of Trepidation" when I was 16 in a school event. Now i'm turning 29. LMAO!
The Road runner United king diamond solo video that went crazy on UA-cam.
What’s even crazier is that Matt heafy wrote ascendency riffs when he was a teenager!
me n Matt are near enough the same age, i still cant play some of that shit lol.
@@Mister-Sinner0 bro i feel your pain😂, i can’t play any of that stuff
18 when he wrote on it, 19 when it was released... and he had an album and some demos before that even younger :D glad to see my fav death metal band showing Trivium and my metal roots some love!
AND he joined Trivium around 12/13 and they put out their first album Ember To Inferno when he was 17 which also has lots of crazy riffs on it.
It’s like Mario Duplantier of Gojira playing Terra Incognita drums at 16.
Heafy X Lamb EP
MAKE IT SO.
PLEASE
Imagine a fuckin trivium archspire collaboration
I need it
I want a Matt fronted side project with Archspire on the instruments
4 Levels of saying good things about Matt Heafy
This quickly became 4 Levels of Metal. Can't say I'm surprised. They wanna do other bands with this but it isn't even 4 Levels of Death Metal anymore
@@alk3603 I’m all for it tbh, there are countless incredible riffs that aren’t death metal
@@EvilSewnit I wouldn't want that personally, but as long as there's no deception and it just tells the truth. 4 Levels of Metal
@DP 91 I don't hate it, I just don't like that non death metal will be featured on a series called 4 Levels of DEATH Metal. That's why I said it turned into 4 Levels of Metal or it should be considered as such, as a general rule of thumb, but if it isn't, eh. I don't watch this channel much anymore so whatever.

gET Josh Middleton on this
Hes an actual monster. Consistent too
agreed
and Dave Davidson, they are not very active on youtube though, so they might be harder to get
fuuuuuck yeah
Yesyesyesyesyes
That was good. Watching Dean try to get that efficiency picking in there when it clearly needs them DP'S. I've been DP'ing for so long I can't wrap my head around the techniques that ol' Deano employs half the time.
Ol'Deano
@@DeanLambOl'Deano
So basically, what makes Matt's riffs hard, are the FUCKING. INSANE. Gallops and DP's at FUCKING. INSANE. Speeds.
I'm trying to learn Kiriste Gomen and the main riff is so fucking hard to play at full speed
I literally use Into The Mouth of Hell We March’s riff that pedals off the first fret and the main riff from Scylla and Charybdis to tighten up my rhythm playing whenever I fall into a period of crappy playing.
@@animal1439 the trem riff? aside from the intro thats like the easiest part of the song
Suffocating Sight is one of my all-time favorite riffs and introduced me to Trivium.
Matt heafy is such a legend 🤘🤘
Omg the old riffs from Ascendancy really hit the nostalgia. One of the best albums ever
Claire's band shirt is Blackwater Burial for those wondering
Wow, always respected Matt as a gutiar player but I never expected you guys to have such a hard time with his riffs. Really cool that you had him on!
The Suffocating Sight main riff, absolute DADDY
Don't forget Forsake not the dream.
@@KolaTheBear dude, YES
Since he recently shouted you out you should do a 4 Levels of Death Metal with Ola Englund.
Oh yeah! That would be awesome! XD
Hell yes that would be awesome
+1 this would be rad
What episode was that in?
YESSSSS
Trivium is my all time favorite band it was so amazing to see this collab!! 🤘🤘
I love that all these are on their 2nd album Ascendency. I can think of a bunch of stuff off Shogun that gave me a lot of trouble and that’s all on 7 strings
I greatly appreciate that matt showed himself playing it as well. Maybe everyone else can't play their riffs haha.
He also said in the road runner united dvd that he spent like 7 or 8 hrs a day just playing guitar so it makes sense
Ok I put it on a shirt
shop.spreadshirt.com/deanlamb/sports
The tombstone would be good too
Needs more DP
Have you done a 4 Levels of Death Metal for Marc Okubo of Veil of Maya? Because those riffs are spicyyyy
LOL
You two = relationship goals 😂
This is why i love trivium, easy way to make your right arm the size of a tree trunk
My partner and I watch your videos religiously and love the dynamic between you two on camera. The banter is hilarious!!
brought me back to high school playing these songs (and most of ascendancy) with my old band. Just riffing in the garage in the summer, no jobs, no worries, just jams. love and respect.

aaaaand i need to go re-listen Ascendancy and Shogun!)
thx for dat Dean and Claire!))
Matt went super easy on you guys. Some riffs from Trivium are just insane.Some riffs from Enterance of the conflugation, Drowning in slow motion and Beyond Oblivion are just brutal.
Into the mouth of hell is the craziest
That fucking pre solo riff in Entrance of the conflagration still screws with me
the entire Shogun album
Like Light to the Flies is my favourite song to play and you guys' relation ship is goals!
I think this is a new favourite series for me
What's wild is I've played these songs/riffs for years and though I know it's tricky I'd have never guessed Dean would have problems with them
Dean talking about Matt's right hand like he didn't write Involuntary Doppleganger
Seriously lol
Exciting! My favorite band when I was 15 played by the guitarist of my favorite band when I am 31! fan boying on two different levels today
LOVE this collab! Trivium was my most listened to band on Spotify for 2020 and Dean/Claire’s YT channel was probably my most watched in 2020 lol
I haven’t listened to this band, and I’m changing that immediately. Really cool to hear these riffs on a Les Paul
You have 9 albums of stuff to look through forsake not the dream/ inception of the end off in waves has some greeeat riffs to play
Just listen through the whole shogun album, greatest album of all time imo cant say anymore
@@adnansusic1650 now I wanna see them do some shogun riffs
Scylla and into the mouth of hell we March
@@terogates1 Yeah i want that too but i feel like corey and matt can barely play that shit i dont know how they are going to pull that off when they struggle with like light to flies haha
@@terogates1 The In Waves album is just riff city. Great stuff
Dayuuuum! That was a fun show 🔥🔥🔥🔥
both y'all out here thirsting over Matt's muscles/hair/downpicking/regular picking/voice/dp capability/everything else, but how is Dean not a member of Okilly Dokilly with that prime 'stache? it needs its own youtube channel.
The editing just keeps getting better. Love it!
And he opens up with my favorite Trivium song, bless you Matt Heafy 🙏
This series just keeps getting better, keep it up buds!
Its awesome seeing these to amazing guitar players semi struggle. In a good way. Mad respect. If just shows the struggle of guitar playing.
Trivium x Archspire x Thy hallowed catharsis is the absolute pinnacle of metalhead bliss for me
Dean's GIRTHY DP BBC is still my go to
Please do Sylosis at some point with or without Josh Middleton curating!!! His riffs are insane!
love that man
Yessss
you guys are so great to watch, always enjoyable
Came for the riffs, stayed for the small talk
Perfect
I'm so glad Matt gave them some old school stuff!!!
oo that's amazing, Matt is such a great dude and Trivium is a killer band
"Like Light to the Flies" is level one? Oh boy....this ought to be good.
Yep suffocating sight is no joke, you can throw that hybrid picking right out the window. You gotta work for them chugs.
0:56 what is that a reference to? Sounds like Kendrick lamar "Not like us" 3 years before it was released
4 levels of Merrow would be so good. Keith writes the best riffs
Imagine this with Josh from Sylosis
Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh DO IT
Lucky you. They literally posted this video two days ago
I came to love Trivium from a movie. In the movie Smoking Aces, the scene where the Tremor Brothers roll up on Ben Affleck and lay him down with machine guns, "Like light to the flies" is blasting from the dark interior of the old muscle car they are driving as the windows drop and they open fire. They've been in my archive ever since. Perfect scream with melody integration. I love it.
Great series! Perhaps Scar Symmetry would fit the bill, they used to be a big deal within the guitar community a while back.
No fucking way!!! My favorite band!!! The first song was the first metal song I've ever learned on guitar, Rain solidified my picking hand whilst annoying my mom. Suffocating Sight I still struggle with, that pre chorus riff is sexy. Please do a song together, that would be godly
Matt heafy is a legend!! This is amazing!
Now that Sheet Happens intro needs an actual Morgan Freeman impersonation
Ascendancy riffs are what got me into guitar playing. Back in the day I could rip em out too! But not anymore lol, it took so much practice and work
Like prince william and the duchess of cambridge but in the metal world. You two are just adorable together. Fucking love it
The new set, segments and even the editing in this one are a step up from the already awesome format. This was awesome
I’ve been a trivium fan since like 2003 and I never realized how technical and hard Matt plays until I watched 2 other great guitarists try to learn his shit in one session. HOLY FUCK that guys right hand is nasty
Had a proper belly laugh with tears and all at the grave stone. Thanks for that :D
I like the improvement in editing and new backdrop.
I used to practice this shit in my bedroom back in 2007 like everyday... its crazy to watch these riffs still being a MENACE today haha.
Gawd I giggled that entire video trying not to wake my wife. Thanks for the chuckles you Heafy thirsting dorks
This series just keeps getting better
I love this channel 🤘🏻
The new set / redecoration looks great! I also liked the production improvements and the Q&A.
That was awesome! Gotta thank Matt for introducing me to this channel! \m/
You guys are a crack up🤘
the production on this video 🔥🔥
This was great dude, Matt and trivium are so good. Was great to see your take on these riffs 👌 can't wait for the new archspire album.
Yes! Matt, thank you: Drop D-flat. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just sounds so much darker than "Drop C-sharp". 🔥🔥🤘🏻
And, of course, thank you Dean and Claire for the 4 levels of a band I know and love. 😁👍🏻
Holy shit these videos are pure gold.
Like Flies to Light and Suffocating Sight are two of my favorite songs from Ascendancy, really really good songs
Never seen Dean concentrate so hard on a riff😂😂😂😂😂 suffocating sight got em lmao
Got em
Not surprising that Metallica is one of Matt Heafy's biggest influences with all that down picking.
First time I heard Trivium I thought it was Metallica
@@gruu probably something of the crusade
He's a DP gawd
Great episode!
Thanks for coming on ThunderRooster you guys! \m/ Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Another fantastic video from bald guitar man and wife team

So glad he played a ton from Ascendancy. My favorite album of all time.
I'm more surprised how well received this video was, I was expecting more sweaty neckbeards calling you a poser for doing something with Matt heafy
all Dean's followers already know he is a poser
Not a big fan of Trivium but cannot deny he's a fantastic guitar player and Heafy is a legend.
@@ukwonderboy i think it's the vocals, that generic metalcore scream - cannot deny though he's fantastic at what he does.

Konnichiwa from Japan! I really enjoy watching you guys! I hope you guys come to Osaka when this whole situation comes to an end. And...Go Canucks go!
We'd love to come back! Haven't been since 2018
Love to see matt come back for 4 levels of shogun
This was such a big boost to my confidence to see Dean struggle for once and with something I can play.

3:45 expectations
3:42 reality
I always come back to these for a great laugh and learn that a lot of these songs are hard as fuck!
Suffocating sight is a mother to play all the way through! I love it though
Love the video editing.
The editing on this one was pretty good, GG.
Love your videos! My wife doesn't listen to metal or play music, but she likes watching these with me just because she likes Claire.
Whatever claire's paying her I'll double it
ah this was so good!
Damn! This is the 1st time u guys didnt nail level 4! And he even sing on that part.

RIGHT? I was like dude i can play that. But i cant play archspire
😎 I guess I suck
Hey thats not a positive attitude towards ur tEaM
The cross over episode I never thought I would see. I'M FUCKING STOKED.
As a guitar player myself as well, I do also enjoy the *DP* practice at home
