“Masterpiece”, my thoughts exactly when I heard this song. Sonically, lyrically, vocally, it’s the full monty. Harkens back to their Shogun days. “In the Court of the Dragon “ is going to be fantastic if the first three songs are indicators. Trivium has only gotten better as time goes by. My most anticipated album this year 🔥. Can’t wait for you to react to the whole album. Great reaction to an epic song🔥❤️🔥
@@kingmichael5446 Shogun is my favorite Trivium album by far, but I meant for comparative reasons, the title track. However, the entire album is a masterpiece to me.
Trivium is a Latin word that means where three roads meet. In regards to them, it is the way that they described their stuff, the intersection between metalcore, melodic death metal and thrash metal. Down below I see the comment that Trivium doesn't make bad music and I struggle with that sentiment. I know I have been a fan since '05. Seen them 18 times in concert but had a three year hiatus where I went on strike because I was not a fan of the direction after Silence in the Snow. I thought it was decent music in comparison to the rest of the industry, but I have some high standards for trivium. The operatics and inflection in Matt's voice just got annoying to me. Maybe I haven't given Silence in the Snow it's fair shake, but you could feel it coming with each CD after Shogun. Each release got progressively worse. Each CD had some good tracks but wasn't like Ascendancy or Shogun where almost every track was special. UNTIL THEY GOT ALEX BENT IN THE BAND! I really believe that guy saved them and once I heard one song with him on the kit I said... Okay, I get it now. I understand why the other 45 drummers had to go. But they are on the opposite path as compared to post Shogun. Every release is just getting better and better. I am glad the youtube overlords are finally allowing some reactions to this song. Great reaction as per usual and are you going to do a complete album reaction on Friday or Saturday??
Honestly mate, now that we are almost 3 records past Silence in the snow, I'd say give it another chance, now that there isn't this sort of doomsday feeling of "oh god is this what Trivium are now?" doing that honestly gave me an appreciation for the album and helped me to listen and hear it for what it is, not what it isn't
I was a fan of theirs since Asendency. Then the Crusade happened and I was on the fence. Heard Kirisute Gomen from Shogun and have been hooked ever since. Even went back and The Crusade wasnt as bad as I though. Alex added so much more to their last two albums.

Also the video is based on The Elder Scrolls Online, they have some kind of partnership with Bethesda.
Imagine having a trivium album as part of the OST of the next Elder Scrolls game. Would be epic
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! SO FREAKING GOOD! EARGASM!

Well it was pulled off the unreleased material from Shogun, so that makes sense. Yeah, its freaking awesome.
The entire album keeps that same energy. It's damn near flawless.
@@MangoKai After hearing the entire album last night, I am adding the whole album to the “masterpiece “ category 🤯🔥🐉
You can check out 'Kirisute Gomen' from "Shogun" Album. I think it's the most underrated Trivium song.
I'm telling ya dude, you're missing out on this one! Ya GOTTA react to Trivium Amongst The Shadows and The Stones! MINDBLOWING song!!!
For future reference and to save you some time and energy just remember this ma man. Trivium doesn't know how to make bad music, PERIOD!🤘💀🤘
😂 noted
Matt said this song was supposed to be on shogun but never made it 13 years later we get to hear it.
DAMN that was fast hahahaha. I literally just requested it on your Patreon. I guess you filmed this already though
LOL I didnt even check patreon yet. Crazy timing
Great minds homie, great minds lol
@@UnfilteredReactions true
If you really like this song, I highly recommending their song Shogun. That is what I would call a Masterpiece of theirs.
He means the whole album. It’s a top 10 metal album for me and is say countless others.

Fun fact about this song. It was originally supposed to be on Shogun but they never completed it. Then polished it for this album.
Trivium teamed up with Elder scrolls online for this song
Hail metal
How the hell have you not listened to SHOGUN front to back??? DO IT NOW.

@@CarlJohnson-yc7tb yep! The direction was different but you can appreciation the variety that they have now.

This is the ghost of Shogun, which is hidden in that song. Simply brilliant! Even good for a fully blown orchestra and Trivium in the middle of it.
they did this video to link with an elder scrolls online event on twitch. It went live on a Bethesda twitch event for elder scrolls online
Amazing!🖤🖤🖤
Another 7 mnt song by Trivium \m/
Can you imagine this and shogun on the same album?
Man if you’re ever in Ireland hit me up, would love to have a pint and chat music and sports with you haha
I like it more than Feast of Fire, but Court of the Dragon is still #1 so far for me.
Damn I still haven’t heard court of the dragon
@@UnfilteredReactions wtf then you need to hear it ASAP
@@mariuss2200 lol f*ck you’re right. I will ASAP.
@@UnfilteredReactions thank me later🔥👌
Same
hey brother, do a reaction video for Two Towers by Fit For An Autopsy, I think you might like the song ;)
the phalanx is the last track on the album fyi
It's alright, but cmon. Shogun? Yeah nah, this isn't anything near shogun
Haven't heard Shogun yet but I think I have to now
This song is pretty good..but if I'm honest I'm not digging the chorus just not that memorable ..if this song had a better chorus would be amazing
Gonna disagree on that
