Down from the sky was about the bombings and aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.. Matt's family is from Hiroshima so he's telling the story of the people that have lives there
Hell yeah, Trivium is always a safe bet to react to, you’ll never get let down with them. Even the songs that aren’t as popular all have something special about them, either lyric message, epic guitar solos or riffs, brutal screams or beautiful cleans, they will keep you on edge wondering what the next song will bring.
As much shit as he gets, I don’t think he was a bad drummer. I heard he had problems with staying in time, and would lose rhythm sometimes and I get how that can effect the band as a whole and I’m sure there was more going on behind the scenes but I personally think he did a good job on the albums he was on. Alex will always be the drummer for trivium in my personal opinion though, even with his problems aside he wouldn’t compare to Alex ( again just personal opinion )
That song is just insane. It’s a journey every time even after listening to it as many times as I have. The ending will always be my favorite part though, just soooo good 🤘
I paused you at 1:24. Tonight I’ve been watching hella reactions. Not only from trivium but other bands. But you sir!!! I seen your video reacting to my favorite trivium song so let’s see how you rock out
matt heafy is half irish and half japanese from what i understood growing up. me and my cousin wished so hard he fallowed up with celtic themed album after shogun.
Felt like the video was uploaded in mono or something Gibby. Might be me but just sounded a bit off, but hell maybe I ripped my bong too much 😂😂😂. Great reaction dude! Please do The Deceived, Shattering The Skies Above, and Shogun by Trivium!!! They always bring it and their live shows are a lot of fun!! Damn I miss Trivium and Killswitch Engage shows so much!! 😐😭
"I've opened up my eyes, seen the world for what it's worth, tears rain down from the sky... they'll blow it all to bits, to prove whose god wields all the power, blood rains down from the sky."
Something I find interesting about the Shogun album is that the title and the album cover are Japanese themed... yet the lyrics for a lot of the songs are clearly inspired by Greek mythology (Into The Mouth of Hell We March, Between Scylla & Charybdis, Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven...)
I believe the concept of the album is to explore different "mythos". Those three, and I believe also Of Prometheus and the crucifix are about greek mythology. Kirisute Gomen and Shogun are about the Shogunate and the samurai. The overarching theme seems to be gods, mythology, and so on.
This song is very much about misconceptions of war. It's about how we're made to believe so many wars have been about protecting our countries, our safeties and our freedoms, but how soldiers are actually fed with misleading propaganda and sent to sacrifice themselves for a cause that is nowhere close to being just. "This battle's not the same as they have led us to believe; a synthesis of propaganda, terror and deceit. We are the cattle, they the slaughter, our meat; gasoline. They pump us through the machine's valves to cleanse the world's disease, we are the ammunition that will cause all life to cease."
This song isn't about war so much as greedy politicians brainwashing people so they can get them to just accept it when they decide to drop bombs. You definitely figured it out. The band's lineup on Shogun was: Matt Heafy - guitar, vocals Corey Beaulieu - guitar Paolo Gregoletto - bass guitar Travis Smith - drums Matt's guitar here was his signature model that he only used during this album cycle; the Dean MKH Rising Sun. Absolutely beautiful, but Matt snapped the neck and Dean wouldn't replace it for free, so Trivium cut ties and switched to Epiphone.
I wouldn't say that war in unbiblical. In fact, God often raised up warriors to lead armies to fight for God and His people. But there are in fact wars with dark hidden agendas behind them.
"It's non biblical"? Clearly a man that has never read the Bible. God has not only ordered his chosen to war several times, but is guilty of what we would consider war crimes (and guilty of ordering others to commit them)
Oh so you’re putting god on trial now? How arrogant of you. Easy to judge the past through current times. We have evolved and we learn from the lessons of the past not cast judgment that is a waste of time.
@@enriib4820 you can't put on trial an entity that doesn't exist. However, God supposedly had no problem telling his people not to kill, but not to rape or enslave others. It's not arrogance to judge an entity by it's own rules, which god has also violated. Arrogance is thinking your way is the only way.
My man… I know this is your channel and all, but if there’s one thing I CANNOT STAND is the constant pausing. As a watcher of reactions, I want to take the journey with you. When there’s a big and tasty part of the song that’s about to drop and you pause it to talk for a full minute, you miss out on the pure juiciness of that part. It’s just something that drives me nuts and I may be alone in this. You’re just robbing yourself of some really good “reactions” like facial expressions when you do this. That’s what your viewers tune in to see because most of us know these songs. We get a thrill off of watching your facial expressions change throughout the song. I don’t mean any disrespect, all love, just something to think about.
This album straight up redefined my taste in music.
I don't remember how I stumbled upon this album many years ago but I'm glad I did. It is perfection.
hands down, true.
Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr next! One of the best Trivium songs EVER! Do a lyric video!
The lyric video, not theofficial music video
D-Gibby: I hope you have all the banger shades for Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr. Make sure you are ready for it.
Lyric video it up.
Love that song!
Pull harder got me into trivium. Good ol yahoo music in 07
Down from the sky was about the bombings and aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.. Matt's family is from Hiroshima so he's telling the story of the people that have lives there
“A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation” by Trivium. One of their early bangers!!! Studio version tho cuz the music video cuts off a couple minutes.
This, such a great guitarists track too.
Dude he’d go ballistic on that!!!!!
Trivium needs a bigger playlist on your channel for sure this band is insane
Ah Shogun...such a brilliant album
Hell yeah, Trivium is always a safe bet to react to, you’ll never get let down with them. Even the songs that aren’t as popular all have something special about them, either lyric message, epic guitar solos or riffs, brutal screams or beautiful cleans, they will keep you on edge wondering what the next song will bring.
Travis Smith was the drummer during this era of Trivium
As much shit as he gets, I don’t think he was a bad drummer. I heard he had problems with staying in time, and would lose rhythm sometimes and I get how that can effect the band as a whole and I’m sure there was more going on behind the scenes but I personally think he did a good job on the albums he was on. Alex will always be the drummer for trivium in my personal opinion though, even with his problems aside he wouldn’t compare to Alex ( again just personal opinion )
Travis was my favorite Drummer. His foot work was unbelievable
I love that travis uses the whole kit when he’s at it. Pull harder on the strings of your martyr is a great example of his skills and creativity
@@Tyler-hr8hj he wrote them groves tho
Yes! More trivium! 🤘
Ahhhh smack down vs raw 2010 man the MEMORIESSSS BRO !!!!!!!!!!
Dude, gotta do Shogun. An epic 12 minutes that should be a crime if one said was a waste.
That song is just insane. It’s a journey every time even after listening to it as many times as I have. The ending will always be my favorite part though, just soooo good 🤘
Trivium is the most consistent band in the world, they continually improve upon their craft and remain humble
This was one of the song of my childhood from wwe smackdown vs raw 2010 I find myself listening to it from time to time 😂 it’s now made my playlist
Moooore Triviummmm!
Best song off of shogun by far!!
Please gibby react to Dancing Dead by Avenged sevenfold!
All the A7X 🤘
Only Set Me Free from Diamonds he reacted
The riff on this album is absolutely insane ngl plus, it gives like Metallica vibes for real.

Your reaction was hilarious dude, well done. That lean in.. "what the??.. THIS BATTLES NOT THE SAME..."
Cracked me up
Great for Trivium Tuesday. Thanks, Gibby! 🤘🏽🎸❤
Yes this album was fricken epic.....it solidified my love for this type of music!
Shattering the skies above
Strife is a killer track. Must do
Travis Smith was the drummer at the time.
smackdown vs raw 2010 lol
YES !
Was literally just recording a cover of this one of my favorites by them. Check out “He who spawned the furies” it’s so good!
Shogun was Triviums arrival as an inventive, modern metal band and they've built from there
"I've opened up my eyes, seen the world for what it's worth,
tears rain down from the sky...
they'll blow it all to bits, to prove whose god wields all the power,
blood rains down from the sky."
Aw man i missed your reactions to trivium, if its possible to make more please do ☺️
You need to react to Times of Grace, but you reacted to Strength in Numbers 7 months ago. They are going to release a new album this Spring 2021.
Something I find interesting about the Shogun album is that the title and the album cover are Japanese themed... yet the lyrics for a lot of the songs are clearly inspired by Greek mythology (Into The Mouth of Hell We March, Between Scylla & Charybdis, Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven...)

Underrated band. Unearth. They hit hard. I like Shadows in the Light. Chunky. Catchy. KILLER solo. Badass.
May I suggest: Iron Strengthens Iron by Dyscarnate. You won't regret it brother
And Backbreaker, too. The videos flow into one another.
Please react to more Trivium!
Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis
Departure
He Who Spawned the Furies
Entrance of the Conflagration
The entire whole Shogun album is a masterpiece and deserves to be listened to. Any and every song from it.
Trivium is God - God is Trivium.
This song is very much about misconceptions of war. It's about how we're made to believe so many wars have been about protecting our countries, our safeties and our freedoms, but how soldiers are actually fed with misleading propaganda and sent to sacrifice themselves for a cause that is nowhere close to being just.

*REACT TO DREAM THEATER - THE BEST OF TIMES*
This song isn't about war so much as greedy politicians brainwashing people so they can get them to just accept it when they decide to drop bombs. You definitely figured it out.
The band's lineup on Shogun was:
Matt Heafy - guitar, vocals
Corey Beaulieu - guitar
Paolo Gregoletto - bass guitar
Travis Smith - drums
Matt's guitar here was his signature model that he only used during this album cycle; the Dean MKH Rising Sun. Absolutely beautiful, but Matt snapped the neck and Dean wouldn't replace it for free, so Trivium cut ties and switched to Epiphone.
you HAVE to react to their song "into the mouth of hell we march" its my favorite song of all time and not many can come close
I wouldn't say that war in unbiblical. In fact, God often raised up warriors to lead armies to fight for God and His people. But there are in fact wars with dark hidden agendas behind them.
Bullet for my valentine pretty on the outside
You should react to Young guns- Bones, such an underrated and amazing song! trust me it's good!
I seen young guns in 2015 they opened for breaking Benjamin wish they would come back to corpus christi, texas
sick band
More trivium !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARCHITECTS
Becoming the dragon listen to that
Wars always happen because of greedy people and thats simple facts.
Pull harder on the strings of your martyr!!! ☮️
Epic reaction. Trivium is one of favorite bands! Please react to On My Side by Demon Hunter
My favourite song from them. Besides pull harder of course.
