Trivium steals riff off Opeth

[ROBL2500]

Theres a part on the Deliverance song where it sounds like Trivium stole the riff..the song im listening to is Deliverance where the lyrics go "The Piercing sounds you make, staring higher, higher now, and once left in my wake" sounds almost exactly like Trivium's Light to the Flies.
Has anyone else ever noticed this?

 

[the opeth affinity]

mmmmmmmmmm Trivium, im suprised they would even listen to opeth to steal the riff in the first place.
There both on roadrunner now? Anyhow, from what ive heard of Trivium they rip of all old school bands any way with there shitty soundind guitar tones and twin gutar and as for the vocals.................i havent the time to go into depth about how shit they really are

1. Go rot Trivium are awesome
2. What bit in Like Light... sounds like Deliverance?

 

[DEMIgOD]

well atleast copying opeth might be a step in the right direction

 

[belialsprophet]

I dont think its possible for Trivium to take another step in the wrong direction, they are at the bottom of everything.

 

[Weakness]

Brutal

 

[ROBL2500]

The bit im talking of is the "Light to the Flies" song where it goes "This seems to suit you better bleeding out the eyes"..compare that to the part in Opeths song, and they sound the exact match.

 

[DirTh]

I really wouldn't say exact, similar yes, enough for law suits to be flying left right and center probably not.
Both great bands I must say

Thanks that really made my day

 

[Tubbs]

Trivium = garbage

This proves it.

Ah... what the hell is going on when someone with a Gorgoroth icon is so familiar with Trivium to be able to make that call?

Let me know when Trivium aren't ripping someone off.

 

[DirTh]

They are
I don't deny they rip shit off, but I don't think they ripped this off.

Well if you knew my life story..which I very much doubt you do..you'd see that I used to like shitty bands until I discovered Black Metal..which then prompted me from the age of 20 to sell all of my Lamb of God/Trivium and other crap CDs to replace them with my Black Metal collection I have now (I am now aged 23 and have 500 black metal CDs currently in the collection).
Infact isnt it better to know when a shitty band is ripping off Opeth, than be ignorant of it.

This may be true, but 99% of black metal is still better than Trivium and Lamb of God, iyam.

 

[Lothlorien]

fuck trivium. nothing they do is original.

 

[ROBL2500]

Yea so these days I basically listen to Black Metal, Folk, Classical music and a bit of Opeth now and again...I dont really care what anyones opinion on my music is like, its a hell of a lot more taste than listening to Emo anyway.

 

[Davling]

What the fuck... are you talking about? There's nothing to that "riff" that is alike the one in the "The peircing sounds you make"-part in Deliverance. Not even the vocal line for bananas sake!

Wtf?
