21 years since the Ember to Inferno album release, it dropped my freshman year. Matt is still surprisingly young considering the other bands that were around at the time (he was 17 when the first album was released).
Matt's vocals on Shogun (2008) & In Waves (2011) were some of his most brutal, Trivium's last 3 records since 2017 have also been pretty great with the addition Alex Bent on drums & have been like a whole new era for the band🤘
Not strange since Careless Whisper has been the prelude song in the last Meshuggah's tour. So all of the sudden this old Wham's score has gone crazy Metal 😆
Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard from Matt! Matt’s vocals were very close to this heaviness from Shogun to the end of In Waves before he damaged his voice. This is peak BEEFY HEAFY NOW! Paula and Nik are crushing it with the couplecore music!
Matt does so many styles of music. I love his twitch streams when I’m getting ready for work. He’s always doing something awesome. I remember seeing Trivium right after In Waves came out in Manhattan and they opened with In Waves. The lights were dark and you see them take their spots and you hear this Nergal-like “INNNNNN WAAAAAAVESSS” like two steps down and this head aging riff, and then he goes into this perfect harmonic singing for the verses. He’s incredible he did every single era of trivium exactly uniquely
Yes, Paula is a lefty and she doesn't use a pick. She uses her thumbnail. If I'm not mistaken, I think I hear Nik doing background vocals. I love this song! Beefy Heafy indeed 🤘😁🤘🔥
Trivium is my favorite band. while Matt has been doing some crazier stuff on stream lately, so far he hasn´t done anything like this on any Trivium album. but their albums Shogun and In The Cort Of The Dragon are absolutely amazing. highly recommended.
You definitely should check out more Trivium. Matt doesn't sing a lot like that on Trivium, but he does have some heavier vocals on some songs, like Dusk Dismantled, and A Skyline Severenve; both off In Waves. Trivium is among my favorite bands, and I've been a fan since the Ascendancy days. I've loved their evolution, and their last 3 albums with drummer Alex Bent are among the best theyve done overall. Different than their early stuff, but I appreciate all their stuff.
Tank, what you said about solos/breakdowns is 100% spot on. I love a good breakdown but there is nothing better than a super sick solo, or set of solos. So many bands miss the mark with me because they don't put a solo in their songs. It honestly kind of drives me nuts lol great take!
The last 3 albums of Trivium since Alex Bent joined the band are amazing. If you want to be even more blown away by Matt vocal listen to the album Fractured by Capharnaum (tech death with Dan Mongrain of Martyr) he was only 16 years old during the recording on that project.
Matt experimented with these more extreme vocals on Shogun, which is also arguably Trivium's most experimental and heaviest album to date. Any track from that is definitely worth a listen if you ever get the chance
The Ember to Inferno, Shogun, and In Waves albums from Trivium had very similar vocals from Matt on a lot of the tracks. The Ascendency album (their 2nd album) Matt dialed back on the screams because he was doing them in unhealthy ways, so he took voice lessons and reintroduced it into the sound after he could scream properly without straining his vocals. The Ember to Inferno vocals were very raspy (and you could tell it was harshly done) but it is my favorite album from Trivium. The instrumentals in that album was phenomenal too.
Every single time Nik blows my mind with his musical creativity, watched his vid from a stream making metal riffs outa random clips, and his ability to hear something and instantly have like 4 good riff ideas in his head is insane! Paula is just nuts on guitar, being a lefty and the fact she can play this kinda chunky-rifftastic-epic soloing, with her fucking finger nail is nuts 😂 Matt blew me away on this too im like you only ever really listened to a few trivium and never heard any like that, that and im sure nik lives near matt now (remember seeing nik post a pic with him at a bbq) they prob did this acc in person minus chris with the drums which is ace to see
Trivium is an awesome band. My favourite. And Matt doesn't normally sound like that. But he's definitely improved massively since ascendancy. You really should check more Trivium out. Their sound keeps evolving and they definitely keep getting better
Tank we were rocking the same length beard and I recently shaved mine off also. Dk if I’m going to go back to the big beard, I’m actually kind of enjoying it being shorter and I’m liking the change
Shattering the skies above is a good one to hear his range. Granted, that song is also over 15 years old, but you can hear the deeper growls he can do on that track.
as some one who has been listening to trivium forever i've never heard matt go that low, but after listening to it back you can tell that it is all him on vocals,
God Damn, Matt!!! I love Trivium and i don't think i've heard this from him before. He does harsh vocals, but holy shit this is a new level. And it works well with him.
Matt just ascended to a higher God tier of vocals. Absolutely insane if those are him doing the lows after a quarter century of not approaching them at all in Trivium.
on songs that will probably never be performed live, Matt is willing to go CRAAAZY on vocals. He tends to play it safe with Trivium stuff because it has to be done live over n over again
Shogun is one of the best metal albums ever. Between 2008 and the release of their last three albums, they went through several drummers and explored a lot of different directions. It's a journey in which everything is fresh, but you never know what to expect from one Trivium album to the next. However, the last three albums have been freaking amazing since they found their drummer, Alex Bent.
Definitely check out The Sin & The Sentence. I don't think Trivium have ever made a bad album but that one is my favorite. Bangers from start to finish. And shows off Matt's clean & harsh vocals.
Trivium is my favorite band of all time and has been for a while now. If you want some vocally heavier Trivium stuff maybe try one of the following: Dusk Dismantled A Skyline's Severance Thrown Into the Fire Amongst the Shadows and the Stones (my personal favorite of those I mentioned) Bending the Arc to Fear In the Court of the Dragon
Check out "Trivium - Dusk Dismantled" (In Waves album), where Matt does his lower guttural growls more often. He throws em here and there on the record where necessary too.
He's looking more and more like a member of electric callboy every day. Lol i think the band is rubbing of on him, it's the beard and stache, my brain is stuck on old tank. Love the channel brother, keep on keepen on.
That’s all Matt Tank. Matt can definitely do heavier harsher vocals it’s not new to him. He doesn’t often, but he has been trying to improve his voice/vocal range over the years so he can do it more properly without destroying it. This is probably the heaviest his vocals have sounded so far. A good Trivium song to check out with Matt’s heavier vocals is “Dusk Dismantled”.
I agree that Dusk Dismantled is one of his heaviest vocal performances but this is far and away the most "deathcore" he has ever sounded by a fair bit.
Goddammit, I was listening for whispers when I saw people talking about Careless Whisper and didn't realize that's the name of the song being referenced...
MH mentioned on his SiriusXM hosted Chaos Hour he had been retraining his vocals to go heavier in a safe way. But I had no idea he had that level of heavy in him and had the same reaction as Tank. 🤘
When Trivium comes to SA on their Poisoned Ascendancy Tour next year (God please let them come), you and Paula come with them and perform this song Nik dammit!
He was getting back into harsh vocals on the latest Trivium album, and it extended into his personal project Ibaraki, maybe Trivium 11 will feature more Meat Beefy screams
Matt pretty much does black metal screaming and Trivium screaming. He didn't do the all out "album screams" live (and during the streams) for the last years, mostly just a safe tecnique that with time he made sound very well but had limits because he had hurt his vocal chords baaadly. But now, like last few months, he all out screams a whooole lot more again.
Tank my man, Shogun album is one of their best albums. Sin and the Sentence with Alex Bent just was an amazing addition to Trivium. Vengeance, Silence in The Snow Matt had throat issues and call Avenge Sevenfold to get the voice coach to scream healthier. Still has some bangers on those two albums.
Thanks for checking out the track my dude!! We praise our metalcore dad Matt Beefy 🙏
"our metalcore dad".... does that make you and Paula...siblings? What the Kentucky is going on?
😂😂😂
Now get Tank some of your NN Awards! :)

And their sister, "they did fun metal things there". 😂🤘🤘
UUUUUUUU!!
🤣
You know you're aging when you realize Trivium's been around for 25 years.
Then you realize they've been putting out nothing but bangers for a quarter century
WAIT WHAT
No wonder these 00's bands can be called dad metal lol
My knees and back feel like they’ve been Drowned and Torn Asunder
21 years since the Ember to Inferno album release, it dropped my freshman year. Matt is still surprisingly young considering the other bands that were around at the time (he was 17 when the first album was released).
1990 was 40 years ago..
You can hear him do a bit of this on Shogun, but this is another level. Matt's killing it
Heafy has only REALLY recently unlocked this new heavy range he can do safely, it’s evolved just in the last few weeks
After he blew out his voice, he’s been training to do harsh vocals correctly
But yeah only recently has he reached new levels
As a Trivium fan "mostly from Silence in the Snow" to their last album, when did Heafy go full deathcore?
@@CGGS_0 he can do it all now, and regularly does
@@jseter Now I need a Thy Art is Murder sounding Trivium album

I had no idea Matt could do lows like that, and i've been listening to Trivium for awhile, lol.
Same
Ya, he can scream, but I've never heard lows like that from him.
Same but it make sense, he's been hanging out with some deathcore bands lately. Check "The witch beckons" from signs of the swarm. @jhamilton1007
You should have a listen to Shogun's bonus tracks, sick lows!
My jaw dropped when I listened to the first few seconds in the verse 😅
4:49 the careless whisper riff in this guitar solo
Matt's vocals on Shogun (2008) & In Waves (2011) were some of his most brutal, Trivium's last 3 records since 2017 have also been pretty great with the addition Alex Bent on drums & have been like a whole new era for the band🤘
Shogun is one of my favorite trivium albums
4:46 Careless whisper
Beat me to it
Was totally Careless Whisper 😂
lol thought i was crazy for a second haha
I paused it right after that and came straight to the comments for confirmation.
Not strange since Careless Whisper has been the prelude song in the last Meshuggah's tour. So all of the sudden this old Wham's score has gone crazy Metal 😆
Nik's and Paula's new project is so cool! I'm so excited to see what's happening!
Listen to The Sin And The Sentence. Its Alex Bents first album with Trivium and you can tell they leveled up with him behind the kit
Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard from Matt! Matt’s vocals were very close to this heaviness from Shogun to the end of In Waves before he damaged his voice. This is peak BEEFY HEAFY NOW! Paula and Nik are crushing it with the couplecore music!
You have to listen to Trivium's Shogun album. It's my favorite of them.
It’s underrated for sure
I've been a massive Trivium fan since their first album, and this might be the hardest he's ever gone. Guh damn.
Matt does so many styles of music. I love his twitch streams when I’m getting ready for work. He’s always doing something awesome. I remember seeing Trivium right after In Waves came out in Manhattan and they opened with In Waves.

He’s incredible he did every single era of trivium exactly uniquely
"Sin and the Sentence" gets my vote.
Matt’s vocals left me stun locked, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him go that hard
Those chorus vox have strong Bleed From Within vibes with how it's layered. Not mad at that. This was a solid track!
That lil Careless Whisper riff in there is sick.
Yes, Paula is a lefty and she doesn't use a pick. She uses her thumbnail. If I'm not mistaken, I think I hear Nik doing background vocals. I love this song! Beefy Heafy indeed 🤘😁🤘🔥
Def get caught up on Trivium, you'd enjoy it! These are not his consistent Trivium vocals and it's epic to hear this range from Matt!
the careless whisper harmony in the guitar solo was a tasty touch. i'm here for it
Matt do have his solo thing going "IBARAKI" inspired by black metal.
really want to hear more of matt doing this, its insane :D
Trivium has been my favorite band for the last 20 years and I’ve never heard those kind of vocals come from Matt ever. So good!
The Careless Whisper part of the solo was a nice touch.
Awesome video man !! Greetings from a heavy metal vocalist from Mount Juliet, Tennessee 🔥
Trivium is my favorite band. while Matt has been doing some crazier stuff on stream lately, so far he hasn´t done anything like this on any Trivium album. but their albums Shogun and In The Cort Of The Dragon are absolutely amazing. highly recommended.

I wanna hear more nik's trap metal project,I wish more songs
Matt Heafy starting to resemble Load-era Kirk Hammett 😂
I think he kinda looks like Kirk from the start
@@anvil777 true, but maybe the hair is thining a bit more now 😥 #happenstousall
Back in the Cursade/Shogun days he resembled every other-era Kirk Hammett 🤣
@regor5150 F for all us kings with thinning crowns 😂😂😂

Sick. 🔥 my new fav genre: couple core
Dude you look great man, whatever you’re doing keep it up.
Nik and Paula are giving me heavy Synyster and Zacky vibes with the opposite hands and the harmonies.
Absolutely Matt! 🔥
Matt going full Japanese wagyu beef on this track🥩🔥
Well, Tank that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word. When you started out watching the video.
I see what you did there.
Matt has really been killing it recently on the vocals! A lot of filth in those screams! And as usual great guitar work from Nik and Paula!
Yup you gotta listen to all their albums bro. You won’t be disappointed
Hoping Matt does more of this in upcoming albums. Also I can hear some of the stuff in ibaraki so
The last 3 albums of Trivium since Alex Bent joined the band are amazing. If you want to be even more blown away by Matt vocal listen to the album Fractured by Capharnaum (tech death with Dan Mongrain of Martyr) he was only 16 years old during the recording on that project.
NIk and Paula are adorable lol -that careless whisper lead line was too much
4:46 the goddamn Careless Whisper solo

Tank how did you not comment on them fully playing careless whisper in the solo 🤣
The opening riff (which returns after the first chorus) really reminds me of Tallah's "Red Light", sounds really similar, maybe even an inspiration?
Trivium is an awesome band. My favourite. And Matt doesn't normally sound like that. But he's definitely improved massively since ascendancy. You really should check more Trivium out. Their sound keeps evolving and they definitely keep getting better
His vocals were great in ascendency I’d say he has slightly improved since then, a massive improvement from Ember and Crusade
*Haven't checked Tank's channel in a while, now I return and laugh so hard, that my eyes got teary.....* ⬅😈🔥🤣🤣
enjoyed!
Would love to see some trivium reactions
Tank missing the careless whisper lick and going "still not hearing it" after skipping to the wrong part was frustratingly funny 😂
Better vocals than all of his other Trivium stuff
Tank we were rocking the same length beard and I recently shaved mine off also. Dk if I’m going to go back to the big beard, I’m actually kind of enjoying it being shorter and I’m liking the change

Been awhile since I listened to Trivium but GODDANM...had no idea Matt had that vocal range either.
Matt got super awesome on the screaming scenario when he learned on how to scream properly, but you can tell when singing the Wretchedness inside.
Tank, come on Tank. We see what you are doing Tank. Geesh bro. Appreciate you brother.
God Damn, Matt!!! I love Trivium and i don't think i've heard this from him before. He does harsh vocals, but holy shit this is a new level. And it works well with him.

Damn matts vox sounds fuckin amazing on this song. Absolutely incredible
Matt did vocals like this on Upon The Shores from Shogun and does stuff like this while streaming
By the way missed the reactions. Definitely got me through covid and post covid. Hope everything's going well dude
Im in love with that cymbal tone 🥵🥵🥵

Matt has a side project called Ibaraki, black metal. Also Matt plays Aristides on his livestreams
HOLY MATT HEAFEY BATMAN!
I’ve been listening to trivium for a very long time and had no clue his vocals could go that low
This is giving me mid 2000s metal vibes and I love it
Definitely check out The Sin & The Sentence. I don't think Trivium have ever made a bad album but that one is my favorite. Bangers from start to finish. And shows off Matt's clean & harsh vocals.

Thrown Into the Fire

Bending the Arc to Fear

I dont know if anyone mentioned it but matt went pretty crazy on Ibaraki. He openly said that was a heavier project than Trivium.
In Waves!
LEFTY! 🤟🏼
Edit: And you quoting yourself was my favorite part of the video. 🤣
Ngl, it was way better than I expected.
I mean, Matt does have a Black Metal side project.
Check out "Trivium - Dusk Dismantled" (In Waves album), where Matt does his lower guttural growls more often. He throws em here and there on the record where necessary too.

To be fair, I looked like this when I first started UA-cam and had no idea who EC even was. Haha
I'm so happy they went for more solos instead of breakdown. I like breakdown, but love solos.

Always cool to see 2 goated guitarists/musicians collab on a track. nik is decent too.
Hahahahaha

This is sick. Can i download it anywhere yet?
Bro, Matt went full Deathcore in this...I didn't know he had it in him. I wanna hear new Trivium with those growls!
When Trivium comes to SA on their Poisoned Ascendancy Tour next year (God please let them come), you and Paula come with them and perform this song Nik dammit!
I swear I hear Careless Whisper's melody during the dual solo.
He was getting back into harsh vocals on the latest Trivium album, and it extended into his personal project Ibaraki, maybe Trivium 11 will feature more Meat Beefy screams
Banger of a track, but agree on the solo tone. Came in a bit quiet. Loved it though! NEED MOAR NAO!!

Like Between Scylla and Charybdis or Insurrection, imho best songs from this album
Holy crap!!
Been out for a while.
