      Shogun is such an insane combination of their talent, influence and maturity. I prefer the style of Ascendancy, but there are moments in The Crusade and in Shogun that really show how gorgeous they can write.

      Have you ever listened to Protest the Hero's album Kezia? They wrote that in high school as well I believe. Both bands I listened to in high school. But PTH, while maybe not in most people's wheelhouse, is an absolute impossibility of talent.

    I'm so glad that you're checking out some Trivium! This band really pushed me deeper into the metal rabbit hole when I found them in high school compared to when I was mainly listening to Metallica and A7X (nothing wrong with that tbf). I would suggest checking out their albums "Shogun" and "The Sin And The Sentence" if you want to dive into some of their different styles throughout the years🤘🔥 P.S. Your guitar moment with Pull Harder was dope af 🔥🔥

    Trivium and Avenged toured a lot during that time frame cause they both released ascendency and city of evil within a year or less and they toured a lot plus the factor they also got to tour with metallica (bullet from my valentine also was another band in that tour) and both bands got that stamp of approval from metallica as metallica viewed as the new generation of guitar centric bands that were inovative and up coming at the time. That generation of bands was great (Avenged, Trivium, BFMV, Killswitch, Atreyu, just to name a few)

    Absolute MetallicA from the music, along with bands like Death, and In Flames. This album generated gigantic hype at the time, m'chara.
    "The next Metallica" was a tag I saw on every magazine at the time. And at 19-20, they were up for that challange.
    They've had some peaks and valleys since. Albums like "The Crusade" was a melodic 80s metal inspired album, that was sometimes attacked for being too much like Metallica/Megadeth.
    But "Shogun" is a prog, tech metal stunner. A massive comeback, huge props and acclaim.
    I love how they, despite some ups and downs at them, they kept going. Outliving and outplaying various tempos and trends to deliver, in my opinion, their best album yet, with "In the Court of the Dragon".
    An maith ar fad, go beith tù ag èisteach le Trivium. Very good that yer listenin to Trivium.🤘👊👍

    You should do the old Darkest Hour Album Deliver Us. Similar vibe but more pronounced Vocals, I think you may have mentioned once you didn't like those kind of vocals but that was a good time ago. More raspy, melo death, but with great Metalcore riffs just gives tje incredible feels. One of my all time favorite Metalcore albums and I always get teary eyed and emotional from it. Can only recommend

      @@DrewFortune97 I realise this and I'm sure people are way way way too angry about it. I know how the internet is, but at the end of the day, they just want you to get the feeling they did when they first heard the song. Reaction content is inherently kind of a social thing, hard to explain but I watch them because I love showing people new songs or films and I get the same thing watching people get enjoyment out of songs. I might be totally wrong but that's how I usually feel about it when people talk over the best parts or miss them on accident.

    Trivium has evolved quite a bit in the time between Ascendancy and What the Dead Men Say. This album is the one that shot them into the mainstream. Lots of music publications went so far as to say these guys were the next Metallica because of this album. Interviews with these guys looking back at this time frame is cool. It was intriguing to see how they felt about this album, and then the absolute about-face that fans and critics took with the very next ablum.
