It's funny how so many people don't know that Matt is a huge fan of video games, and that this song was written specifically for God of War III. I think it fits perfectly.
@Jhoel Ortega Yeah, t'was released on a God Of War 3 special album called Blood & Metal Track Listing Killswitch Engage - My Obsession Trivium - Shattering the Skies Above Dream Theater - Raw Dog (Instrumental) Taking Dawn - This is Madness Opeth - The Throat of Winter Mutiny Within - The End The Turtlenecks - Even Gods Cry
+Nick Argyilan gotta listen to Ember to Inferno then...when Matt was like 15, pretty raw album but very intense.....their first three albums were very intense and they got refined from say Shogun
As a fan of the God of War game series, I was really suprised to find out that Roadrunner had actually made a six song tributory EP for GOW 3. When I first heard this song, the EP's 2nd track, I immediately liked the song's structure. Hard and heavy, yet also calm and cool. Awesome song.
It’s a bit repetitive. I remember when it first came out thinking the chorus is repeated non stop and it gets old. If you didn’t know the name of the song when it started, you know by the end that’s for sure
I discovered Trivium during the Ascendancy days, so I’m one of those folks that really isn’t a fan of the In Waves era. THAT BEING SAID: This song is fucking KILLER. Nick’s grooves on this one are so smooth yet brutal. He did amazing on this one, and that pre-pre-chorus riff is pure thrash awesomeness.
I dont know about anyone else, but they have always seemed to me like people you would want to hang out with. They seem to do such an amazing job of being a band you can relate to and hear from individually. Not only is their music beyond amazing, they seem to be just as awesome themselves. Thanks Trivium. You are all fantastic. Cant wait to see your show!
How could you not mentioned Nick? I was afraid about Trivium when Travis left but, bloody hell, Nick fit just perfectly into Trivium! Trivium took a HUGE step with Nick being part of the band, he deserves be recognized!
This might just be me, but the whole Album In Waves is from top to bottom perfect. Every song feels like it fits, it's heavy without being too load to where it doesn't sound like pure noise (in other words, there's a rhythm and melody to ever song,) It feels like this should be a seperate game in the same vain as GOD 3, obiviously maybe with a bit of japanese themes behind it.
I have to say, this bands screams are the stuff of legend. Perfectly understandable, and still providing that edge that speaks to you on another level. Makes you want to kick peoples teeth in and laugh at the moon.
I came to listen to this unique song, because this with each subsequent album made with Nick, it became clearer to me that Trivium song like this will never happen again... And so I applaud this piece of aggression undiminished by melody. Don't get me wrong not crying about direction Trivium is taking, just trying to appreciate what seems to be and to be for all eternity Trivium with extreme metal drumming.
A lot of singers of this type of music try and ween themselves off of it after a certain amount of time. Constantly singing like that has to be absolute murder on the vocal chords and eventually you just can't do it anymore without causing permanent damage. Where that limit is is different for each person but you can't sing metalcore forever. That's why ASX switched up their styles, cause Shadows wouldnt be able to keep singing like that and keep his voice intact.
Tommy Messina you seem to have missed the point of my post - extreme metal drumming. Yes, Matt is clearly leaning towards clean vocals, but my post was more about what a great song this is.
trivium is a great band and totally undermined,they deserve more popularity and support from metal fans!albeit,dear trivium,you have many fans in Greece too!We're longing for a show :)
First of all, 'screaming into the mic' isn't what makes it MUSIC, the drums, guitar, bass, and yes, vocal tracks are. Second, people (like myself and the others that enjoy Trivium's music) enjoy this, and 'screaming' isn't exactly what he and Corey do. There's more to it than that. Also, music is sound that people like. A large amount of people like this sound. Put two and two together.
I've been listening to trivium for like 2 years and now they are my favourite band.It is my dream to meet every single person in the band.I love Matt's brutal screams,his clean vocals,Paolo is one of my fav. bass players,Corey is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen in my life. I am a bass player and I have a band. My dream is to be just like Matt Heafy, to go on a tour with them! This song is my favourite because its full of agressive energy and emotion at the same time.TRIVIUM FOR LIFE!
May not of cared much for the latest album, but gotta hand it to Trivium, always adapting and trying new things, never sticking to the same one sound is a great thing! Some people may not like that but its truly a great thing and real fans will still always listen to them even if they just stick to their older material.
Doing the math, it is impossible for you to have listened to it that long.thats almost 25 years and I'm 25.this has been out for almost 8 years....just kidding lol.
Absolutely if you're filled with rage heavy metal burns it to ash and then you're mellow it's healthy stress relief and we listen to metal for the MUSIC the instruments is what we're attracted to the singing and lyrics are secondary and if you're Educated you know metal composition is remarkably similar to classical so those of us who Rock simply appreciate REAL MUSIC
I vaguely remember this song and it was the introduction to Trivium I never knew was Trivium, my brother got the soundtrack and it was my favorite off the soundtrack and looking back at this song now, I can remember everything from it, I started to sing it as I heard the start of the lyrics, good ol' trivium
I do know Matt is a huge fan of Spawn and Final Fantasy, I wouldn't be surprised if he enjoyed himself some GoW. Esp since Shogun had quite a few Greek myth songs.
It's awesome when you have a band that writes such dynamic, unique metal and they don't need to make a video of people getting shot and blood going everywhere to be badass. MUSIC
This song is only on the special edition of in waves, and was written for a compilation album that was released along side of one of the god of war games
+LarsUlrichIsMe went way overboard. There was a reason travis smith was drummer of the universe at one point. He stole the show when needed and let the band have their part. Travis smith is a master, earned title... Also makes this guy look like an amateur. Being fast isn't what it's about

@Jhoel Ortega He's telling you that the song was written for GOW3, it doesn't matter what Matt is playing on the video!
@Jhoel Ortega Yeah, t'was released on a God Of War 3 special album called Blood & Metal
Track Listing
Killswitch Engage - My Obsession
Trivium - Shattering the Skies Above
Dream Theater - Raw Dog (Instrumental)
Taking Dawn - This is Madness
Opeth - The Throat of Winter
Mutiny Within - The End
The Turtlenecks - Even Gods Cry
it was written for the HD collection i think! a great fucking song tho
Fucking yes it does. In fact this song is the times more epic than that game lol!!
The lyrics in the booklet of ascendancy are in the same font that the original God Of War guide is in.
Matt’s screams during the In Waves era were just blistering!
His screaming during that era was amazing. Id call it the highlight of his career
it was throat cutting for sure he almost lost his voice bc of that glad he can still scream and not damage himself at the same time
Check out Suffocating Sight from Chapman Studios sessions… epic🤘🏼
@@dylanmyers995 it's the best version of that song.
That was during the shogun era tho, this song came out 1 year after shogun
can't believe this song released 11 years ago , feel like yesterday , when I rented ps3 to plays god of war 3
wait you rented a whole ass ps3?????
Where could you rent a ps3 at seriously 🤔😳
Chris Faulkner rent a center i think lol
@@eddiebrock3353 he's from Indonesia, here in southeast asia we have places to rent ps1/2/3/4, the same goes for computers and internet
I used to play smash brothers on GC when this song came out, one of the best times in my life
Truly the greatest Metal band of all time. Not a single bad track in this massive discography. This song is always fucking killer.
I still think this is the best song they’ve ever written. There’s just such an insane energy to the song that never gets old
"ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED!!!"
5 years later and this is still THE Trivium song for me. Such an amazing track, fuck me.
+Luuk Derksen there is an intensity in this song that really isnt in their other songs
I dig your name
+Nick Argyilan gotta listen to Ember to Inferno then...when Matt was like 15, pretty raw album but very intense.....their first three albums were very intense and they got refined from say Shogun
Akil Manwaring oh I know, I've been a trivium fan for 10 years now. Yes their first few albums were very raw
I love all their first five albuns, all of them got me really hard
This song was pretty much Trivium saying "We've got a new drummer. He's not too shabby really"
+Liam Podmore lol
Travis smith will always be their best.
+RC Fanatics Travis smith has issues .....
+Liam Podmore Then he got kicked out cause he couldn't play shit on the live shows.
+Wolfrik Hordenailer no not the actual reason he didn't like being away from family so constantly if you followed Nick on IG you'd know
As a fan of the God of War game series, I was really suprised to find out that Roadrunner had actually made a six song tributory EP for GOW 3. When I first heard this song, the EP's 2nd track, I immediately liked the song's structure. Hard and heavy, yet also calm and cool. Awesome song.
…What are you talking about?
@@viniciusgmachado1204 .. What are YOU talking about? This song was the second track of the God Of War Blood & Metal EP
Absolute masterpiece. I've been recently obsessed with this song. I'm literally in love with it. I can't stop listening to it.
I found it in 2020 during the pandemic, if I don’t listen to it daily, I feel like I haven’t don’t anything productive.
@@r3ap3r68 and the best thing is that lyrics basically repeat themselves so it's really easy to memorize.
It’s a bit repetitive. I remember when it first came out thinking the chorus is repeated non stop and it gets old. If you didn’t know the name of the song when it started, you know by the end that’s for sure
And the best part: this was written for the God of War: Blood and Metal EP released as DLC for God of War III!
It's ageing like fine wine 🤙
remember the documentary before they released this song 🥺
I like how brutal this song is and then the video is just them derpin' around. The combination is kind of funny. :)
andrew welsh The same with Thy Art Is Murder's Immolation vid, so funny
@Emperor's Champion The one with the eggs lol
I love travis and all but Alex is by FAR the best drummer they’ve had
Check out Black Dahlia Murder's music video for Necropolis, you'll like that too.
They make their hardest/angriest music when they’re having a good time
I discovered Trivium during the Ascendancy days, so I’m one of those folks that really isn’t a fan of the In Waves era. THAT BEING SAID: This song is fucking KILLER. Nick’s grooves on this one are so smooth yet brutal. He did amazing on this one, and that pre-pre-chorus riff is pure thrash awesomeness.
I agree, found them at their debut. However the new album is pretty damn good
I'm simply expressing how much I love Matt Heafy and his music, and what an inspiration he is to my music.
The main riff sounds like something Dimebag would've come up with. Man, I love Trivium.
R.I.P. Miyuki
@Onarashin The Peppers' Daddy Matt's dog. :(
The video was hard to watch...
:(
Who is myuki?
@@waynequerry5773 Can you read? It was Matt's dog that appeared in several videos.
I used to wear my hair like Matt does here when I was 16/17. Something about that half man bun, half samurai top knot that is just bad ass.
hes japanese, this hair fits for every japanese man . badass
I dont know about anyone else, but they have always seemed to me like people you would want to hang out with. They seem to do such an amazing job of being a band you can relate to and hear from individually. Not only is their music beyond amazing, they seem to be just as awesome themselves. Thanks Trivium.

How could you not mentioned Nick? I was afraid about Trivium when Travis left but, bloody hell, Nick fit just perfectly into Trivium! Trivium took a HUGE step with Nick being part of the band, he deserves be recognized!
He was not great live, but now Alex Bent is just amazing.
For those that want to know what album Matt's showing at @4:08, it's "Apocalyptic Revelation" by Krisiun. Great Brazilian death metal!!!
Trivium are one of the few bands that can play really good live. Much respect
This song has all you can like in Metal, blast on the drums, powerful chorus, shred, scream, harmonies. A fucking good song
Really? Hmm… 🤔🙂
4:17 the best moment in the music video
Still remember when In Waves first came out, was such a fucking gem of an album. Those were much better days.
It was good, not great. Huge disappointment after shogun
This might just be me, but the whole Album In Waves is from top to bottom perfect. Every song feels like it fits, it's heavy without being too load to where it doesn't sound like pure noise (in other words, there's a rhythm and melody to ever song,) It feels like this should be a seperate game in the same vain as GOD 3, obiviously maybe with a bit of japanese themes behind it.
Matt's screams are the best !!!
My most favourite band ever since i've heard about them till today. who's with me ???
Me.
guilty as charged
2:36 mark & beyond is what makes this a goat level song
I have to say, this bands screams are the stuff of legend. Perfectly understandable, and still providing that edge that speaks to you on another level. Makes you want to kick peoples teeth in and laugh at the moon.
Matt is the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen live! Long Live Trivium!
Never been a huge Trivium fan but I can't stop listening to this song, fucking good music!
That’s what the trivium effect has 😂
@@spook58119 i listened to like 5 of their songs and now i am probably the biggest trivium fan in my country hahahahaha
@@Vuk1405 fr fr
I love that this is specifically for GoW3 , but there's so many MCs this song fits. Evil Ryu. Asura. Ehren. Hollow Ichigo. Baki. Kenshiro.
It's a great wake up song ! I wake up to this song every morning.
tokai ngepet Yes to shatter the skies above lol
"I won't rest until I am drenched in blood"?
I love this band because of the extreme evolutionary approach they take with every album. Definately a phenomenal band.
I love how that few lines can make such a good song.
I came to listen to this unique song, because this with each subsequent album made with Nick, it became clearer to me that Trivium song like this will never happen again... And so I applaud this piece of aggression undiminished by melody.

you seem to have missed the point of my post - extreme metal drumming. Yes, Matt is clearly leaning towards clean vocals, but my post was more about what a great song this is.
I feel like Nick was underappreciated. Hes such a great drummer.
Maybe was not so clean on live but the ideas in drum and the power he have is incredible
BEST METALCORE SONG EVER BEEN WRITTEN. PERIOD.
Agree 🤘
This new album is killer. In Waves is a great track. That whole intro riff in the song is amazing.
Bro the video quality is actually good for being 13 years old
trivium is a great band and totally undermined,they deserve more popularity and support from metal fans!albeit,dear trivium,you have many fans in Greece too!We're longing for a show :)
Definately Trivium's best song
0:48 The drummers face...
"You want me to play WHAT?!"
2:15 "OK guys I've got it..."
Lol
Trivium needs to make more songs like this
Mother of riffs.... my fingers...hurts..but still awesome
Paolo is such an amazing bassist, he's really under rated. I've been playing guitar for 5 years but I bought a five string bass in honor of Paolo :)
18 years later and I still love trivium I been listening since high school 2003
How did You discover them? For me it was roadrunner roadrage
@@AFacemarkedbyFea best friends from high school listened to them and got me into them
I can listen to this song on repeat all day err day. So perfect.
the fact that they're playing God of War just makes me love trivium even more.
I have no idea how many times I've listen this song. I can't stop!!
Shat myself first time I heard the drums on this track. You will be missed Nick!
^^^
First of all, 'screaming into the mic' isn't what makes it MUSIC, the drums, guitar, bass, and yes, vocal tracks are.

just started listening to Trivium& I'm obsessed. God I fucking love this song; it's been on repeat loud af
i'll never get tired of this one...!
Trivium and God of War, two of my absolute favorite things in life
I've been listening to trivium for like 2 years and now they are my favourite band.It is my dream to meet every single person in the band.I love Matt's brutal screams,his clean vocals,Paolo is one of my fav. bass players,Corey is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen in my life.

Best song on the album. I love the whole album but this track just hits better and the composition I love it !!
Anyone remember the great documentary that came with this!!??
2:10 One of the things I like about this band is their willingness to add references to Extreme Metal in some of their songs. Keeps it interesting.
May not of cared much for the latest album, but gotta hand it to Trivium, always adapting and trying new things, never sticking to the same one sound is a great thing! Some people may not like that but its truly a great thing and real fans will still always listen to them even if they just stick to their older material.
Matt has the flow man. He needs to grow his hair out again, epic metal hair
AZ95Yotes No - it was receding
AZ95Yotes Epic man bun.
Damn the lead singer is fiiiiine!!!!
Starships will be starships leave them alone..
8 years passed and this is still one of my favourite badass musics from Trivium.
TriviuM = The future of Metal.
Definitely the best song of Trivium!
4:13 OMFG EARGASM
Ogola Plays I completely agree! This song is amazing, but that one scream in particular has always been my favorite part!
Wow 4million is it bad that i have viewed this 2.9million times
8
hahaha big fat ditto!!!!!! \m/
It becomes a ritual... killer song!
Doing the math, it is impossible for you to have listened to it that long.thats almost 25 years and I'm 25.this has been out for almost 8 years....just kidding lol.
The last trivium song I truly dug. Miss these days in the band. Brutal song, love it
Woahh the camera quality is so good I didn't even realise it was a decade old!
The song is fucking perfect! All metal videos should be like this one it's so awesome!
4:17 c´mon you cannot deny that this is the funniest clip of Corey ever...😂
Matt with his hair tied back looks like a Legit Samurai.
This band is perfect!!
Best song off In Waves!
I wish Trivium make more songs like this. UNBELIEVABLY heavy :)
Matt โหด เถื่อน สุดยอด
7 years!! are you serious?
Yokyto Lakaca That's what I said!! I watched this the day it was posted...
10 now
14 man
This song should of been on the original track listing for in waves. fucking insane song
It is on the special edition
yeah but its a bonus track, i only bought the regular version
Matthew G In waves is a concept album. This song is great, but not part of the concept.
+Diego La torre Really? i though only the videos for "built to fall" and "in waves" had a story not the album
Take my evil
To the skies
Take my evil
All light dies
The double kicks on the drums are siiiiiiick!
Absolutely if you're filled with rage heavy metal burns it to ash and then you're mellow it's healthy stress relief and we listen to metal for the MUSIC the instruments is what we're attracted to the singing and lyrics are secondary and if you're Educated you know metal composition is remarkably similar to classical so those of us who Rock simply appreciate REAL MUSIC
I agree with you
Fuels my rage even more but I guess I got more anger than most people.
🤘 Sangre Y Metal 🤘 👍😊 Chile [🇨🇱] Esta Banda Es Increible 👏👏👏👏
2024 🎉❤ On
Yes sir.
thumbs up for shattering being the best song on in waves
Full of emotion song !
I have to admit Nick is a great new drummer.
He's gone lol
Eu não sou fã de vocais limpos, mas tenho que admitir que o Trivium consegue mesclar técnica, agressividade, melodias e belos vocais com excelência.
I vaguely remember this song and it was the introduction to Trivium I never knew was Trivium, my brother got the soundtrack and it was my favorite off the soundtrack and looking back at this song now, I can remember everything from it, I started to sing it as I heard the start of the lyrics, good ol' trivium
So Matt's a fan of God Of War? I'm not surprised.
Jared Escobedo Cool, I don't recall it being in the game though.
It was in the official soundtrack cd 2.
I do know Matt is a huge fan of Spawn and Final Fantasy, I wouldn't be surprised if he enjoyed himself some GoW. Esp since Shogun had quite a few Greek myth songs.
It's awesome when you have a band that writes such dynamic, unique metal and they don't need to make a video of people getting shot and blood going everywhere to be badass. MUSIC
4:05 Krisiun - Apocalyptic Revelation
i am from NIGERIA.... seeing this makes me proud!!!!
And people said In Waves sucked??? Lol, this song (and the whole album really) is amazing! Shogun is the best but In Waves is right up there...
MegaTechpc in waves is so badass, don't know why so much hate to the album
This song is only on the special edition of in waves, and was written for a compilation album that was released along side of one of the god of war games
I loved In Waves album when it came out, listened to it nonstop. Its 100x better than Poop in the Snow and VF...
This song is so much fun to rip on my guitar.
he looks so fucking cool with long hair
What? 11 years already?
This song brings me back dorm memories when i am still at school
Loving Matt's #manbun :) ;)
Matt, this one sick. Keep working on that style. Fuck the modern industrial punk-rock-metal. Its bullshit man! This one a much better!
Ya but all of there music is good
Dat fucking drummiiiiing!
***** Yeh, bye nick :c
+ThatInsaneDane he was a good studio drummer, but live he was fucking terrible. They need Travis smith without all the drugs
RC Fanatics I saw nick live? D:
He seemed even more insane than in the studio? That insanely fast drumming n_n
+ThatInsaneDane yeah more insane, that not what you need ALL the time. he went overboard.
+LarsUlrichIsMe went way overboard. There was a reason travis smith was drummer of the universe at one point. He stole the show when needed and let the band have their part. Travis smith is a master, earned title... Also makes this guy look like an amateur. Being fast isn't what it's about
BEST.SONG.EVER.
