Alright, I take back everything I said about Trivium.

[cookiecutter]

Great, now they are a Metallica Rip-off.

If that's how Metallica sounds, I'm glad I skipped Metallica.

Don't judge Metallica on those grounds. 80's Metallica sounds 10,000 times better than that.

 

[The Ozzman]

i'd rather not... if i wanna listen to metalcore ill listen to as i lay dying... and that's as far as ill take it

You won't even listen to Unearth or All That Remains or Killswitch Engage?

Way to jump on the bandwagon.

Trivium is still not that Thrashy, therefore they don't sound like Metallica. I like Trivium, but Metallica has much better solos anyway.

 

[The Ozzman]

I honestly don't see the problem with Trivium. I like Ascendancy, but The Crusade is going to rock. I've only listened to the songs posted on their myspace though.

 

[Hatebreeder]

As I Lay Dying's drummer is such a damn wanker. He does double-bass in the most unnecessary places.

Umm... new have you listened to newer metallica? Thats the sound man. Listen to it yourself and try and tell me that doesn't sound like Metallica? There is no bandwagon dude, just common sense.

 

[Maggot9]

I actually think the new songs are even worse than the other stuff they have. they're trying so fucking hard to be metallica its actually outrageous. i can't even describe how shitty the new stuff is, like other people have said it really has no feeling and just feels annoying.

haha, i feel the same way. i heard about 2-3 songs today. they suck. Ascendency was a much better album for what it was..a metalcore album...Crusade just SUCKS

Newer Metallica doesn't count, dumb shit. In fact, that's the point.

All this talk about Trivium would give matt heafy a hardon

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I know what emo is. I said they are emoCORE, not emo. What I heard by them is not too unlike recent Killswitch Engage, though even less heavy.

I don't really like Trivium or Killswitch, but...

Are you sure? I think Justin Timberlake is heavier than fucking Killswitch Engage!

 

[Zhou Tai 04]

I'd much rather listen to Capharnaum (US). Matt Heafy does vocals. It's technical death metal.

Killswitch was the best with Jesse Leach. It went somewhat emo with Howard Jones, but it's still good shit.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

vx5 and Authentic just explained towards the top of this page why your view is incorrect. There's emo, and then there's pop music; Killswitch plays the latter.

edit: Hey vx5 or Authentic - What about Season To Risk? I always thought they were pretty emo-ish.

It would be cool if somehow we could get everyone on the same page on genres of music. Weed out the genres that don't really exist and subgenres for that matter. It's just to easy to start using a title for a kind of music and make it stick. Having worked in Metal radio for 16 + years, I've seen all of these titles of music form, come and go. Trivium seems to fall in about 5 genres or so according to this thread. I guess if we all knew each others age would explain alot to. For me I was a child of the 70's, teen through the 80's and in Metal radio 1990 to today. I have a pile of Triviums latest coming in the mail. Perhaps I can get a few in the mail to some of you who are interested.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I'm making this post simply because every post I've made in the past day or two ends up at the bottom of the god damned page.

 

[MetalAges]

Ok, I am just now listening to the Trivium ecard (I think it is new: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/crusadeecard/ ) and I must say this kicks WAY more ass than what I previously heard from these guys.

If you've already dismissed them, check out the first two tunes of this ecard and make a new decision. I actually think I will be buying this album after hearing the couple tunes I heard.

 

[Dee Snarl]

I thought it was common knowledge that Trivium was worshipping/ripping off Metallica since Ascendancy, at least.

 

[CaGeD iN]

It isn't even metalcore.

trivium gets more trash than i think they deserve, there are much worse bands out there like slipknot, which shouldnt even be mentioned on this site
