Little fun fact, Matt Heafy is friends with and a huge fan of Nergal from Behemoth as I know you guys admire him as well for his song writing abilities. Strange how those circles kind of form. Matt is a great artist and an even better dude, but not quite a writer like Nergal.. Anywho, You guys should check out Fit For An Autopsy - Black Mammoth ..w the Video ! Cheers guys!
The best part of your videos, the more you two discuss the songs and your interpretations, the more you learn about each other, it's awesome to watch. You guys are friggin great.
You two both have an amazing thought process when it comes to thoroughly dissecting the lyrics like this! I have appreciated this song and fell in love with it ever since it became a single and got released on UA-cam! Your input and intellectual thoughts about this song is great! Keep up the good work you two! Brought a whole new meaning to this song for me thank you!
Yeess! Finally checking out Trivium. Check out these songs too: Pillar of Serpents Like Light to Flies Becoming the Dragon Shogun In Waves As I Am Exploding Until the World Goes Cold Beyond Oblivion
Hey guys :) I love your channel. I do have a request, but I'm not begging it to be done soon. There's a backstory to why I'm requesting it too. I lost a very very close friend recently in a car accident. Parkway Drive - Wishing Wells, is the song I'd love to have you guys react to at some time. My feelings are reflected in the song pretty on point. The compression of grief is real. Anyways, not trying to play a sympathy card, but the song is deep, dark, and heavy. \m/ Peace out my fellow children of God!
I just want to give Vin a handshake. Your commentary on life in general is like no other I've come across. Your vocabulary and articulation to convey thoughts is astounding. I may not beileve in the same things as you in respect to religion or spirituality; but on a personal level, in respect to self-awareness, a agree with you 100%. Understanding yourself is the first step to understanding others; one cannot completely empathize with another human being without looking within ones self.
the lyrics have lied to you. "Penence in the fire." "the flames grip your throat." "they will genuflect to a lie." these are just the ones in the chorus and it changes the meaning of the song EDIT: u noticed
pretty sure it's also "you better practice your lines" not "lies". Also coming directly from Matt Heafy it's "condamn" not "condemn" (although this could be how he said it or due to an accent misunderstanding) I hate when people make lyric videos but get them wrong just for people to react to them and interpret them wrong
I really love listening to you guys talk, I'm not a very religious person but do and have always considered myself to be spiritual. I've been through some hardships in life as we all have which have made a lot like Vin with always trying to be self aware, not putting stock in others opinions of me and just being myself. Hearing you guys talk about these sort of topics is like a catharsis for me as I live in quite a small town and don't get chance to really have conversations this deep as I'd like too, so thanks Vin & Sori for helping me today! :)
Don't forget "To Forgive is to Suffer" by Death. So cool to see you both absorbing so heavily into those sounds! I forgot to mention on the Slayer video. Slayer's final tour is with Anthrax, Behemoth and Lamb of God. It would be epic to see you guys do a reaction to that live show! Just a thought. All the best from the Southern hemisphere, keep rocking! \m/
This seemed like a good place to write down this thought/interpretation of mine, since you’re talking about it and trying to interpret it... **“You don’t understand me” comes from the King. The king was betrayed and dethroned by a liar.** The liar’s sin was the means to his downfall, and the sentence, for that matter. “The king you flipped” (his throne turned upside down, aka: dethroned) “to a lie” (there was a conflict of whose word would you believe more, and the lie beat the truth). Now without thinking about the song, a couple of reasons one might make lies to dethrone the rightful king could be... 1. to trigger a struggle for power (greed), or 2. to exact revenge-motives unclear (vengeance). I’m guessing it’s vengeance, because there are emotional factors mentioned in the song, like “you condemn me because you don’t understand me”...But! This king was no naive, undeserving fool as somebody might think. He’s wise, and won’t be so easily pushed off a cliff. This struggle was a masterful one... In Trivium’s video, the singer plays the king and there’s a confident and mysterious woman in the picture (who I could only assume was the antagonist, sue me), who I think is the liar with the dagger eyes staring back at him. She might be his wife (maybe he did something to piss her off?) or a relative in the family, or a sorceress or whatever, take your pick... If he’s a king and a rightful ruler, then matriarchy is out of the picture. So I think the more likely reason for doing all this to a king was for revenge or to hurt him for thinking he can be a good king (the second possibility is a common trope among political or kingly stories - like Julius Caesar or King Arthur), and that would somewhat explain why he says “You don’t understand me.” Anyway, to sum it up, the liar sinned, the king served the sentence, and this is a story all about how his life got twisted turned upside down, fresh prince of Bel-Air yada yada. The rest of the explanation might simply lie in the idea that there was a misunderstanding, which would best explain “You don’t understand me,” but there’s next to nothing to go by in that scenario, so I leave it here. I’m not a member in disguise talking like I wrote the thing, nor am I a nerd for the band... but dis shit got me thinking and I tend to overthink lmao.
Two videos a day is pretty damn prolific. Especially when they’re 30+ minutes a pop. Trivium is a band I need to get back into. The stuff I’ve heard from their last two albums have been intriguing. They’re not afraid to change up their sound and experiment. I think a good song for the underground show would be “Adora Vivos” by Woods Of Ypres. Definitely worth a lyrical breakdown.
That’s what I’ve been gathering from the response I’ve heard. I actually liked the clean, almost power metal stuff they were doing on “Silence In The Snow”. Still have to check out “In Waves” as well.
Yeah, there's a bit more of that on the new one and some heavier 'Ascendancy'-esque stuff too. In Waves has tons of groove on it, worth checking out for sure.
also check out the sina and the sentience the album as a whole it truly is a great album i wont say its better then shogun but its a very good whole album.
Really loves the dialogue regarding group thinking and how it pertains to racism and stereotyping of Christians or other religious sects, etc. Vin you’re absolutely right that people are all too quick to put others into a box. Love you guys!
Keep it up i love your reactions! As always i am going to request for a reaction the song called: ''Living waves - Persefone'' You 2 seem to be ''spiritual'' people so i think that you are going to love the song lyric wise and discover a great band that is so underrated!
YES! I requested this! Loved the analysis and conversation it created. Very interesting to watch you guys converse. Keep the Trivium coming! Next up: SHOGUN
This reminds me of the time me and my grandma got lost in her backyard lmao!! It was so crazy. Tommy was like hey! And that one time when the pancakes were burnt. My favorite tree is the Triadica Sebifera so thank y’all for talking about it in that lovely poem. My neighbor has a pond that he dropped a poem in and the fridge broke lol. Ok bye!
I'm sure that I don't have to say this, but just ignore the haters. Anyone bitching about not getting their request filled obviously has no idea how much work goes into making these videos. And you do two a day! There are precious few youtubers who do that. Hell, most don't even post daily videos due to the amount of work involved. You two are dedicated as hell and the rest of us love you for it. And Sori, the youthful jubilation that comes bubbling forth when you get really into a track continues to be an absolute joy. That's always the reaction I look for whenever I introduce someone to a new band. Don't ever let that die. Vin, once again, my man, very insightful thoughts about the lyrics. It's always been amusing to me to watch two sides of something go at each other and watching neither side understand the irony of what's going on. It's truly sad, though, to watch it go on so blatantly in our current political climate. So much could be remedied by just taking a step back and really listening to each other. As for the track...this is actually the first Trivium album I've enjoyed since Shogun. I got into them just after Ember to Inferno was released and that album and the one that followed, Ascendancy, are still in my weekly rotation. There are some seriously wicked tracks on those two albums and I'd highly recommend checking them out. The Sin and the Sentence got a solid 7 out of me as a whole. As always, much love! -Jason Requests (and the pester machine carries on!): Troubled Cells by SubRosa The Beauty of Suffering by Spiritbox Understanding Love as Loss by Silent Planet
Joseph Wallace I just think that people should think outside the box and not request artists and songs that already have a ridiculous amount of reactions already.
There's a billion reactions to obnoxious metalcore and mallcore bands out there, but outside of the commercially large bands like Megadeth and Iron Maiden, most metal legends get no attention at all. Candlemass, Venom, Kreator, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, etc... these bands built metal, they built the house that these -core bands are stealing from, and they get no love at all. It's all completely backwards relative to how it should be.
ICED EARTH - Dante's Inferno please! I feel like the only requesting Iced earth. Wish some villagers would give it some likes because it is amazing song and deserves a reaction for sure. Especially they do an amazing job telling story from the 13th Century Poem. Love the reaction again Vin and Sori. Best part of my day is to watch your two reactions everyday. Keep it ups guys!
Vin said something that made me think he was an Iced Earth fan or at least aware of them. But absolutely they need to react to Iced Earth. I honestly don't understand how a band as popular as Iced Earth isn't reacted to more. I know Iced Earth isn't as good as they once were but the albums are still decent. Kinda like Maiden they have entered a sort of twilight phase where they are putting out solid albums, but the band is still a force. Go see them live and tell me that they are over the hill. The song My Own Savior is what got me (back) in to true metal.
2003 - Ember To Inferno 2005 - Like Light to the Flies 2006 - Becoming the Dragon 2008 - Throes of Perdition 2011 - Dusk Dismantled 2013 - Strife 2017 - Betrayer One each from most of their albums. "Silence in the Snow" (2015) isn't bad, but it doesn't hold up b/c the lead singer blew out his voice.
i love it when you really get into the song... you were rocking to it... i love how you break it down, good job i'd love to see you react to rise against
This song give me goosebumps every damn time I hear it. When I saw them live, they opened with this song and immediately everyone that was packed into the House of Blues immediately started moving and moshing to the point where we would be pushed to one side, then another, almost falling over only to save it, then fall to another side and save ourselves from falling over. We ended up moving away to the side. It sounds terrible but honestly it was kinda fun looking back. At the time it was anxiety inducing.
Die hard Trivium fan here, the band has actually gone on record discussing the meaning of this song. They talked about how the times are today when you do something wrong and in the social media age, you are dragged through the mud.
BTBAM are awesome and I think Sori in particular would dig them but I would send the band a message on twitter first. Sumerian is super strict unless you have permission from the artist. For example Misha from Periphery just tweeted the LIV guys to not be worried about a strike as they have given them blanket permission. I suspect most bands are more than willing to do that, especially if there are concerns. The only bands I would unequivocally avoid are the japanese bands. And it has nothing to do with a racial thing, just that the Japanese Record Industry is going nuts with copyright strikes as of late. Its a shame cause there are some really cool bands out of japan. Concerto Moon, Tricot and Galneryus to name a few.
Khellendross they havent always been on sumerian they just got on that label they were on Victory and Metalblade so that shit is all fair game.Just nothing from the new album.
I am 41 years old and I've been a metalhead for 25 years and Trivium, in my opinion is THE best PURE metal band to come out in the last 15 years...period in my opinion! There is NOTHING in their music that isn't flawless, top-notch genius!
Paolo gregoletto the bassist of Trivium recently came out and spoke about how the lyrics to this song regard social media today and how people get so scrutinized for saying anything similar to past history in a continual infinity, but to beware of what judgement we pass on to others, because we're all capable of giving that one bad tweet or post out of a lack of thought, then being torn to shreds by the very ppl we judge on social media and in general.
Trivium to me is that band where no one really stands out, as this guy is most talented guy or this guy is the weakest link. Because they’re all playing and performing on an incredibly high level. and manages to jam it all together. Trivium is a fantastic band, and Matt heafy is awesome.
I always love bands where the singer himself is also a monster lead guitarist which is the case with Trivium. Matt and Corey trade solid in most songs and its damn impressive!
Their new album (which has this song) is absolutely killer, but the first one and Shoguns still their masterpieces. I can' t wait for your reaction of Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun guys, this song will blow your minds
Actually, I don’t want you guys to upload more than 2 videos/day. I like to keep tracking every video and quality is over quantity. You put out some great stuff with great details.
I'll keep reminding you about: TesseracT - King LeProus - The Price or Mirage Twelve Foot Ninja - Coming for you Any song from Enter shikari Keep it up guys, can imagine you're being overwhelmed by all the requests.
Already liked it before I watched this 🤘 just learnt this on kit a few days ago. Great song and too think he only took 1 take to do this in the studio. Huge respect for Alex bent
We all need to pick a song and just spam the shit out of these comments until we get David Gold's music up here haha. I like Traveling Alone because I think Vin and Sori would have a lot to say about the lyrics. But I also like almost the whole album, Woods 5. Adora Vivos is great. Lightning & Snow is pure adrenaline for me. Finality and Alternate Ending are emotionally crushing.
Epica - Storm The Sorrow, Sancta Terra, Dance Of Fate, Consign To Oblivion (female vocals) Helloween - I'm Alive Judas Priest - Burn In Hell (live) Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (live Tilburg), Trains (live) Iron Maiden - Paschendale Jinjer - Who's Gonna Be The One (female vocals) Arch Enemy - Dead Eyes See No Future (female vocals) The Agonist - Danse Macabre, A Gentle Disease, Raven Eyes (female vocals) Nightwish - Romanticide, Ghost River, Elan, Stargazer, Endless Forms Most Beautiful (female vocals) Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers, Rainbow In The Dark, The Last In Line, Stand Up And Shout, I Speed at Night
You should really check Satyricon - Mother North (Live at the Opera). Especially look at the live opera version. Satyricon is a classic norwegian black metal band but this song with glorious opera chorus becomes a masterpiece.
Trivium is one of my favorite bands of all time. You'll be able to beat the hell out of their discography and not find the same song twice. If you do some more by them, I highly recommend Throes of Perdition or Shogun.
You guys should do a podcast with George and Ryan from Lost in Vegas about Free Thinking. Would be super interesting and good promotion for both channels I reckon.
Your reaction videos are so amazing. The way you approach listening to new songs and genres is perfect. You don't go in with judgement and you actually give the music a chance even if its completely different from what you typically listen to. You guys should check out our video "Anchors" and do a reaction to the video. Its a metal song with a very heavy concept involved that includes personal struggles with addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts/actions and a sense of not belonging. I feel like based off of past videos that you have covered you would actually be able to connect with some of this and your thoughts would be greatly valued. "ANCHORS" VIDEO LINK: ua-cam.com/video/4ZROOPsSVt8/v-deo.html
probably the strongest Alex's drum line at the last album but its arguably because he did difficult drum parts like that in every song. Trivium - Down From The Sky.
Shade empire - Ruins They are one of the few i've herd with such a chaotic and melodic sound. I think you two would like them and would love to see someone do a reaction to that song,I've yet to see a reaction to that song or band.
I'd like to suggest Watain - The Wild Hunt. Also they have a DVD called "Opus Diaboli" in a mix of interview and show who the vocalist Erik Danielsson explains his point of view about satanism. Watain and Dissection songs have a lot of elements to explore.
Trivium - Shogun
Sayok I’m here for you
Yess! Please do shogun! Pretty please!
PS: 'Down from the sky' will do too!
yeah!!
H e l l
Y E E E E E
Me like this to see
Haven't ever heard anyone breakdown metal lyrics this thoroughly, This is pretty good.
Thanks man!
Serious pet peeve whenever the lyric video manages to get the lyrics wrong.
Oh my God I was so annoyed. "King you flipped to a lie" BOI. It's genuflect to a lie. Oh and "Burn it in the fire". It's Penance in the fire. Ugh.
This! So much this! Gah
It's you genuflect
It's "Practice your lines"
I don’t know. “We honest men becomes a razor king” seems perfectly reasonable.
Alex Bent is a beast.
Best drummer I've ever seen
I rarely notice the drummer.
When I do, it's normally a fill or two.
This might be the only song that I focus on the drummer.
...I'm a guitarist.
Trivium - Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis
Yeah, listen to this because of reasons
My top request, which is different from "favorite song. "
This song has so much meat, everyone gets a bite. Your preferred flavor doesn't matter.
The whole album is fire. Probably my favourite Trivium album to date.
Agreed this then shogun then ascendency
I have to disagree, they have some great tracks on this one, but Shogun, Crusade, Ascendancy and Ember to Inferno imo are superior.
Javier Belmer LOL it’s way better than ember and the crusade
Wintersun - sons of winter and stars from sonic pump studio.
Unleash the archers - Awakening.
Both will blow your minds
YES!
Wintersun is a must
Little fun fact, Matt Heafy is friends with and a huge fan of Nergal from Behemoth as I know you guys admire him as well for his song writing abilities. Strange how those circles kind of form. Matt is a great artist and an even better dude, but not quite a writer like Nergal.. Anywho,
You guys should check out Fit For An Autopsy - Black Mammoth ..w the Video ! Cheers guys!
Trivium is an amazing band
Death-flesh and the power it holds
The production on this album were freaking on point. The drums sound amazing.
If you already have the sin and the sentence, you can't go without doing Thrown into the fire reaction
Be'Lakor - "An Ember's Arc" and "The smoke of many fires" both have awesome lyrics and banging instrumentals
Glad be'lakor is getting around now.
Add countless skys
Just an FYI the lyrics are not "The King you flipped to to lie", but rather "they genuflect to a lie". Bugs me when clever lyrics are missed haha.
Ya i corrected it ! 🧐 smh they did such a terrible job
Jacob Lewis, I've been refraining to comment on that but the mistakes on some of the lyrics videos are making my OCD go off the scale! : /
The best part of your videos, the more you two discuss the songs and your interpretations, the more you learn about each other, it's awesome to watch. You guys are friggin great.
Thy Art is Murder - The Son of Misery and/or Puppet Master. Just a reminder;)
Shadowphantom81 YESS!! SON OF MISERY!!
Hell yeah Puppet Master!!! "THINK FOR YOUR FUCKING SELF!!" *breakdown*
If you're going to do more Trivium, then do A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation
Mike Fairchild Is that your promise if we ever lay a finger??
MasterZoro is this battle *really* on all?
If I can't make you see
how badass this song is...
You two both have an amazing thought process when it comes to thoroughly dissecting the lyrics like this! I have appreciated this song and fell in love with it ever since it became a single and got released on UA-cam! Your input and intellectual thoughts about this song is great! Keep up the good work you two! Brought a whole new meaning to this song for me thank you!
That’s awesome! -Sori✌🏻
Yeess! Finally checking out Trivium.
Check out these songs too:
Pillar of Serpents
Like Light to Flies
Becoming the Dragon

Hey guys :) I love your channel. I do have a request, but I'm not begging it to be done soon. There's a backstory to why I'm requesting it too.

Thank you both so much

I was really hoping someone else caught this.

Thanks for the constant content guys, I actually learn a lot about some of the intricacies of religious history from Vin's insights, cheers for that!
Thanks boss !
I saw Trivium for the first time live last month at Welcome To Rockville. Great live performance. I've been listening to them for a couple years.

Aw damn, turns out the lyrics really are wrong. *crumples up useless paper in frustration*
Two videos a day is pretty damn prolific. Especially when they’re 30+ minutes a pop.
Trivium is a band I need to get back into. The stuff I’ve heard from their last two albums have been intriguing. They’re not afraid to change up their sound and experiment.
I think a good song for the underground show would be “Adora Vivos” by Woods Of Ypres. Definitely worth a lyrical breakdown.
Neil Murray Their last album is a pretty big return to form. They've finally found their sound again.
That’s what I’ve been gathering from the response I’ve heard. I actually liked the clean, almost power metal stuff they were doing on “Silence In The Snow”. Still have to check out “In Waves” as well.
Yeah, there's a bit more of that on the new one and some heavier 'Ascendancy'-esque stuff too. In Waves has tons of groove on it, worth checking out for sure.
Make sure to check their first record and shogun
also check out the sina and the sentience the album as a whole it truly is a great album i wont say its better then shogun but its a very good whole album.
More Trivium! \m/
Really loves the dialogue regarding group thinking and how it pertains to racism and stereotyping of Christians or other religious sects, etc. Vin you’re absolutely right that people are all too quick to put others into a box. Love you guys!
Killswitch Engage - Strength of the Mind. :)
Keep it up i love your reactions! As always i am going to request for a reaction the song called: ''Living waves - Persefone''
You 2 seem to be ''spiritual'' people so i think that you are going to love the song lyric wise and discover a great band that is so underrated!

I’ve met Trivium twice, gonna be 3 times in July. They’re the nicest guys ever! Glad you like them!
react to "Kirisute Gomen" by Trivium!! It's one of their best songs, and you will love it! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
That entire record is pure fire! The title track is their magnum opus in my opinion.
Deftones - You've Seen The Butcher
Gojira - Born In Winter
Clutch - Shogun Named Marcus
Ray Blaquiere I second Gojira
I second Deftones
I'm sure that I don't have to say this, but just ignore the haters. Anyone bitching about not getting their request filled obviously has no idea how much work goes into making these videos.

Yes!!!!
Appreciate that!!
I appreciate that you do hard work, I just think you should react to metal bands instead of non-metal genres like metalcore and mallcore.

"Misery's Crown" or "Terminus" by Dark Tranquillity.
The new album from Trivium, "The Sin and the Sentence", is a masterpiece, and it will be remembered as a game changer and as one of the best forever!
Big Ice Masterpiece? Game-changer? Sorry but for Trivium this stuff seems to be bland and sub par.
TSATS is a phenomenal Trivium album, right up there with Shogun and Ascendancy. I love every Trivium record but those 3 are the cream of the crop.
Your lyric breakdowns are amazing guys, keep up the awesome work. Love your open mindedness.
Thank you !!
2003 - Ember To Inferno
2005 - Like Light to the Flies
2006 - Becoming the Dragon
2008 - Throes of Perdition
2011 - Dusk Dismantled
2013 - Strife
2017 - Betrayer
One each from most of their albums. "Silence in the Snow" (2015) isn't bad, but it doesn't hold up b/c the lead singer blew out his voice.
I love this song, it's always on my playlist.
TOOL - 46&2 Definitely Overdue with all the Tool you have done. Keep it up! Awesome Reaction Videos!!
Austin Jones Yeah especially with Vins knowledge of Jungian theory and whatnot
Yes Vin and Sori, react to one of THE most overplayed Tool songs EVER.
As always great video guys! Keep it up. Love how it’s more than the casual “reaction video” ! Awesome , keep em coming !
One of my favourite metal songs!!! 🖤
i love it when you really get into the song... you were rocking to it... i love how you break it down, good job i'd love to see you react to rise against
Death - Flesh and the power it holds
Hey out there. I suggest reacting to Wintersun - "Loneliness." This work will blow your mind. Wintersuns music is just unreal like NeObliviscaris!
You guys actually got Paolo's meaning on the song pretty spot on. Damn Vin y'all are very analytical!! I love it!!
Great song. This band is absolutely amazing. Keep it up. You should do Thrown into the Fire off the same album.
This song give me goosebumps every damn time I hear it. When I saw them live, they opened with this song and immediately everyone that was packed into the House of Blues immediately started moving and moshing to the point where we would be pushed to one side, then another, almost falling over only to save it, then fall to another side and save ourselves from falling over. We ended up moving away to the side. It sounds terrible but honestly it was kinda fun looking back. At the time it was anxiety inducing.
Die hard Trivium fan here, the band has actually gone on record discussing the meaning of this song. They talked about how the times are today when you do something wrong and in the social media age, you are dragged through the mud.
Some random power metal suggestions (cos I’m feeling power metally):
Beast in Black - Blind and Frozen
Edguy - Mysteria
Iced Earth - Dracula
I am awaiting the glorious day when you guys hear Between the Buried and me for the first time.
Jabrane Amami "so are you"?
Thomas Schumann Sumerian records will take down anything from automata 1
BTBAM are awesome and I think Sori in particular would dig them but I would send the band a message on twitter first. Sumerian is super strict unless you have permission from the artist. For example Misha from Periphery just tweeted the LIV guys to not be worried about a strike as they have given them blanket permission. I suspect most bands are more than willing to do that, especially if there are concerns. The only bands I would unequivocally avoid are the japanese bands. And it has nothing to do with a racial thing, just that the Japanese Record Industry is going nuts with copyright strikes as of late. Its a shame cause there are some really cool bands out of japan. Concerto Moon, Tricot and Galneryus to name a few.
Khellendross they havent always been on sumerian they just got on that label they were on Victory and Metalblade so that shit is all fair game.Just nothing from the new album.
THIS!
you guys are too funny ..... keep up the good work this father (35 )son(9) metal heads 4 life....we both enjoy what your brining to the table,,
I am 41 years old and I've been a metalhead for 25 years and Trivium, in my opinion is THE best PURE metal band to come out in the last 15 years...period in my opinion! There is NOTHING in their music that isn't flawless, top-notch genius!
"I know that real monsters lie between the light (heaven) and the shade (hell)." Speaks well by saying that we are the real monsters. Love the lyrics.
Trivium-pull harder on the string of your martyr
Paolo gregoletto the bassist of Trivium recently came out and spoke about how the lyrics to this song regard social media today and how people get so scrutinized for saying anything similar to past history in a continual infinity, but to beware of what judgement we pass on to others, because we're all capable of giving that one bad tweet or post out of a lack of thought, then being torn to shreds by the very ppl we judge on social media and in general.
Trivium to me is that band where no one really stands out, as this guy is most talented guy or this guy is the weakest link. Because they’re all playing and performing on an incredibly high level. and manages to jam it all together. Trivium is a fantastic band, and Matt heafy is awesome.
I always love bands where the singer himself is also a monster lead guitarist which is the case with Trivium. Matt and Corey trade solid in most songs and its damn impressive!
Meshuggah - Dancers to a Discordant System...Its one of their best songs with a great commentary on our society.
Their new album (which has this song) is absolutely killer, but the first one and Shoguns still their masterpieces.
I can' t wait for your reaction of Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun guys, this song will blow your minds
Walk with me in hell - lamb of god
Actually, I don’t want you guys to upload more than 2 videos/day. I like to keep tracking every video and quality is over quantity. You put out some great stuff with great details.
guys trivium is my favorite band!!!!! THANK YOU xd so glade u love it
Katatonia - My Twin
I'll keep reminding you about:
TesseracT - King
LeProus - The Price or Mirage
Twelve Foot Ninja - Coming for you
Any song from Enter shikari
Keep it up guys, can imagine you're being overwhelmed by all the requests.
The age of apocalypse by the end. I heard it once and it's my new second favourite song right below beyond oblivion by trivium.
"This video is about trivium". Yes, you are correct.
Love the vids, great song choice and I'll continue to make my request. Thanks guys
Karnivool - New day!
Can't wait for you guys to react to Thrown into the fire from this very same album
Already liked it before I watched this 🤘 just learnt this on kit a few days ago. Great song and too think he only took 1 take to do this in the studio. Huge respect for Alex bent
Traveling Alone by Woods of Ypres!! Come on!!!!!
That’s a good one as well. I’ve been pushing “Adora Vivos”.
Yes
Woods of Ypres is quality shit with good lyrics
We all need to pick a song and just spam the shit out of these comments until we get David Gold's music up here haha. I like Traveling Alone because I think Vin and Sori would have a lot to say about the lyrics. But I also like almost the whole album, Woods 5. Adora Vivos is great. Lightning & Snow is pure adrenaline for me. Finality and Alternate Ending are emotionally crushing.
I love that there are so many Woods fans out here. Seriously one of the most criminally underrated bands to ever grace my ears
Well then how about Draconian - The Morningstar or Death Come Near Me!
Love the content! Idk what's so mesmerizing about reaction videos, bit I like it!! Love to see yalls thoughts on ~All That Remains - This Calling ~
Shannon is one of the few drummers on Alex Bent's level imo. ATR went way downhill after The Fall of Ideals.
Epica - Storm The Sorrow, Sancta Terra, Dance Of Fate, Consign To Oblivion (female vocals)
Helloween - I'm Alive
Judas Priest - Burn In Hell (live)

Listening to Trivium reminded of "A gunshot to the head of trepidation" by them...it's an older one but of my favorites along with a minute long solo
You should really check Satyricon - Mother North (Live at the Opera). Especially look at the live opera version. Satyricon is a classic norwegian black metal band but this song with glorious opera chorus becomes a masterpiece.
Mercyful Fate - The Oath plsss
Trivium, love this band. Thanks my dear! Baby Metal next please. You guys are awesomeness.
Trivium is one of my favorite bands of all time. You'll be able to beat the hell out of their discography and not find the same song twice. If you do some more by them, I highly recommend Throes of Perdition or Shogun.
I Love Trivium And This Album Is So Amazing Very Good Music.
You guys should do a podcast with George and Ryan from Lost in Vegas about Free Thinking. Would be super interesting and good promotion for both channels I reckon.
I always thought the “free thinker” thing meant to think for yourself. To not follow the trends. To be open minded. Hmm
Time for some Underground action!
Please, check out Protest the Hero. Anything from the Kezia album is amazing
They're a little too progressive for me but crazy talented for sure.
Love you guys, I have become a fan of yours. Keep it up. You guys rock.
Please do Between the Buried and Me!
Your reaction videos are so amazing. The way you approach listening to new songs and genres is perfect. You don't go in with judgement and you actually give the music a chance even if its completely different from what you typically listen to.
You guys should check out our video "Anchors" and do a reaction to the video. Its a metal song with a very heavy concept involved that includes personal struggles with addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts/actions and a sense of not belonging. I feel like based off of past videos that you have covered you would actually be able to connect with some of this and your thoughts would be greatly valued.

TRIVIUM-SHOGUN! known as one of the best metal songs ever written
probably the strongest Alex's drum line at the last album but its arguably because he did difficult drum parts like that in every song. Trivium - Down From The Sky.
Shade empire - Ruins
They are one of the few i've herd with such a chaotic and melodic sound. I think you two would like them and would love to see someone do a reaction to that song,I've yet to see a reaction to that song or band.
Don’t worry about the haters! The fans understand and appreciate your hard work.
I'd like to suggest Watain - The Wild Hunt. Also they have a DVD called "Opus Diaboli" in a mix of interview and show who the vocalist Erik Danielsson explains his point of view about satanism. Watain and Dissection songs have a lot of elements to explore.
Trivium... In waves
Sever the hand
The wrechedness inside
Betrayer
Protest the Hero - C'est La Vie
Septic Flesh-Martyr. And I am reminding for the 8th time so to speak. Lol
