Members SlayerofShadows Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 *Stops playing main riff from Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr* What? Trivium? I like them. I saw them live with Amon Amarth and COB and it was a pretty good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dysfunction Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 Derivative in the extreme. Plus, though I haven't seen them live, I've heard very bad things about their live shows (apparently Amon Amarth, at one show, joined the crowd in booing them off the stage).

Members Vendor Defendor Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 The one song I heard of theres wasn't too bad. But nothing I am going to go out of my way listening too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDarxide Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 I love the guitars. Hate the vocals. Also hate the way their songs have 'parts', rather than flowing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Splendor Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 They're alright. Better than the 'nu-metal' from the past few years, but something feels out of place to me when I listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members curseoftruth Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 Like lots of bands in that metalcore genre, I can't stand them for one reason -- the screamo vocals. I mean come on kiddies, that trend really has gotten old and that whole thing does suck. On like one or two bands, I can handle it, but not every freakin metal band that is out! Thats why you are starting to see bands like The Sword get some notice. Old school Sabbath approach with clean vox. Even though The Sword is more hype than quality, the singer is only OK for them IMO! Love the music though. Trivium -- I thought if they put a killer vocalist in there or stopped screaming for 90% of the song, kept the Iron Maiden thing going, they would be a kick ass band! And what is this paying your dues {censored} everybosy seems to be throwing around lately. {censored} that. I am not a Trivium fan, but they have been touring internationally for the past 2 years. Is that not paying dues for a new band???And this entire Circle of True Doom (COTD) says the same thing about bands like The Sword who must be dismissed because they got on a decent label and are actually making money are being a band. What a joke of a concept. More like jealousy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yzfou Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well I saw them live with in Flames, they did a Dimebag tribute that was great, They are young but they realy can play, the singer plays some pretty {censored}ed up rythm parts while singing. I agree that there is too much screaming. As for paying their due, they can play, they have fans, they give good shows. Nobody can force people to buy a CD. At least they are musicians, not a freakin boys band. BTW In Flames were better, but they have a couple more years of experience behind them.

The "not paying their dues" comes from the singer's daddy paying for a whole pro-quality independant release(titled Ember to Inferno), recorded at Morrissound Tampa, which was then distributed by an indy label. It's what got them signed. Hell, the lead guy was in the band for like a month before they went major label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
