New Trivium

[smy1]

anyway shouldnt we be talking about the new SLAYER!!!!!

I just checked out "Cult" on their website and it really is a sucky song ... I am a huge Slayer fan since South Of Heaven came out, but this track really annoys me. It starts out so cool with the deep toms but when they go fast it's just like they are rehashing the same old riffs and lyric rhythms (Dittohead anyone?).

If I want Slayer to sound like this, I'll go put on Seasons In The Abyss ...

yeah I was bummed too.

QFT.
I might be going mad, but I'm certain the the riff that opens "Pull Harder..." is exactly the same as the riff from "Corporal Jigsore Quandry" by Carcass.

It's close, but not even on the same planet. That's why this band sucks! You know when you hear Carcass your gonna love it. When you hear Tryvium, you just wanna turn it off!

Trivium is skilled, but I think their tunes are like eating chinese food; it's cool for about 20 minutes but doesn't stick with you. But unlike chinese food, they have too much EMO instead of too much MSG.

best post of 2006.

well everyone got his own opinion about the band.
a big mistake IMO from people is that people blame trivium for being "The New Metallica". i just want to say, they didnt say it for themselves that they are the new metallica are, the media did, and even if we know the tricks ofthe media, we still fucking getting napped by it.
anyway im going to so them tonight ( with metallica etc )
and i will post my judge about their whole act.

i enginneered the new record with jason. matt and jason produced. i'll be very interested to see how it is recieved by fans. i think this record is really fucking solid man... its killer and should gain them lots of new fans. it is definitely a heavy metal record through and through, not a hint of metalcore if you ask me. a completely new and pretty wise direction. i wouldnt be quick to judge the record based on the new live song they played as the record is so much more complex than that.

 

[NathanSoulfracture]

The songs actually grown on me, i like it, especially when it changes to the melodic bit halfway through.

 

[cobhc]

I like Ascendency. The more I listen the more I like. I wish there was more singing than screaming though. I love those poppy melodic vocals over cool, heavy riffs. Call me gay!

Well, they actually DID say it:

[...] To become an innovator of my instrument and build on my own technique, and with Trivium, we set out to be the next Metallica.

Going to ask em about that next week.

They're just a bit generic and uninteresting IMHO.

I feel this way about 90% of the "new-break-through" bands that Roadrunner released in the last eight years. It's kind of funny to see Monte proudly saying that he "signed Sepultura, Fear Factory and Machine Head", it happened like 15 years ago for christ sake!

I don't really know what's their criteria for "innovative bands", claimed by them everywhere on press releases and websites, but it's actually the same stuff over and over. I don't even feel like it's "playing safe" since most of those bands are commercially null.

And I like Trivium

Cool, thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to the new record, I liked the first one a lot.

Glad that I am not alone with that. All the Chimaira's and 36 CF and KSE just don't do anything for me ... never understood their signing policy. Even Slipknot I don't understand (although they are selling big) ...

Damn, took you long enough! I had that one all set up for you people!!

 

[MX582]

i gotta say i kinda like trivium but when i saw them live here (houston) i didnt think they sounded nearly as good as they did on the record and just overall the sound was thin..but i dunno maybe thats cus inflames went on right after them and holy shit..

 

[Andy Sneap]

i personally think 36 crazyfists are one of the best bands on the label.

They don't do anything for me, besides, who isn't on Roadrunner nowadays?

 

[smy1]

Hm, I prefer Glassjaw by far.

It's funny, some people used to compare my former band to 36 CF - although we sounded more like a cross between Machine Head and Pantera ... sometimes it's weird how differently people view music!

I agree. Good band.
