A kick ass band. Best songs 'pull harder on the strings of your matyr', 'like light to the flies' & 'Rain'. They are metal and harcore depending on the song. Instruments used: Gibson les paul custom, Jackson KV2, Bc rich custom mockingbird, Tama or Pearl drums with sabian cymbals. An amazing drummer!

One of the more modern metal bands of the 2000's that have roots in thrash with Metallica being their biggest influence. They are one of the most talented bands of the new age and continue to make awesome music

A band that punk ass metal fans don't like because one of their albums entered the Billboard top 40. They didn't copy Metallica. Metallica might've influenced their some of their work.

Corey Beaulieau-Guitar/Vocals
Paolo Gregoletto-Bass/Vocals

Their first album, Ember to Inferno was released on Lifeforce records and was written by Matt Heafy when he was 15 to 16. The fact that he he did this is a testament to how much of an awesome band they are. Ember to Inferno, Requiem and If I Could Collapse The Masses are essential songs to download of this album.
after Ember to Inferno, they were signed onto Roadrunner Records where they recorded their seminal album, Ascendancy. They also recorded some songs for the 25th Roadrunner anniversary album, The All-Star sessions, where they played alongside such legends as Jeff Waters and King Diamond. Matt Heafy was also made a Roadrunner All-Star, alongside Joey Jordison, Rob Flynn and Dino Calzares. Ascendancy was one of the biggest albums of the year when it was released. Trivium experienced massive fame due to Ascendancy which was liked by almost every person that can justify calling themselves a metal fan. At Download Festival '06, word got out about Trivium playing a small set there which caused huge hype about the band who were then moved to one of the main stages simply due to the huge success of Ascendancy. Essential songs to download are Rain, Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr, A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation, Drown and Torn Asunder and Suffocating Sight.

There a pretty good band, even if it is different from the old days, I still consider it Metal. People who say it's not metal basiclly just can't relise shit can't stay the same, and that's something we can't change. If it's Metal it's Metal, not pussy rock you would hear from finger eleven and it's not fake metal like The Darkness. If you think Trivium is not metal then your just too old for their kind of Metal. I won't force you to like them, if you don't want to find but, the things you about them is not true, like " there not metal" or "posers" or that messed up word 14 years olds use " mallcore
