Ascendancy was one of the first metal records I ever bought and that was in like 7th grade. I do not find them great at all anymore, they seem almost immature.
yeah seriously trivium can't decide who to rip off, why don't they just stick with one? first they wanted to be melodic trendy metalcore, then they got more rockish, then they wanted to totally be metallica and even sang the old songs with the new hetfield vocals and now they want to be soilwork/gothenburg? seriously how can some people be stupid enough to actually follow and enjoy this band and think they're something good? definitely not the next maiden or metallica, that would be embarassing.
Many will criticize this band...but it's the "only" band that can be embraced by every metal fan just like Maiden and Metallica..I'm not comparing them to those bands, but Trivium's influences are of course from these bands, but once Maiden and Metallica call it quits, Trivium will be handed down the torch.
they're just fucking playing raffle of bands to rip off.
