I must say that if you dont like trivium, maybe you should avoid topics about them.
Secondly, to me they are not recycled metallica, what you hear is differnet from what i hear, and if you cant understand that, im sorry. Trivium for me, are one of my favorite metal bands, and yes they are metal, you most certainly dont have to like them, but they are metal. So anyway, here are some kick ass videos of Corey and Matt doin what they do best!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c3S42N0nb4 --The tapping solo at about 0:45 is just awesome, great melody!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhxFK5VQ-94 Cory and Matt do trade-offs from Roadrunner United's 'In The Fire' This post has been edited by The Uncreator: Aug 15 2007, 03:21 AM |

Woah, its a fair point I made, I dont feel the need to avoid topics about them nor should I, this is a discussion board and as you perfectly well know, most discussions have two sides to them, now;
The Metal Encylopedia cites Trivium as a: QUOTE Melodic Metalcore Band You may observe this here. It has also previously stated that: QUOTE Trivium are only in the archives due to their first EP Now, as Trivium is a Metalcore band, Metalcore is officially deemed by wikipedia as : QUOTE Metalcore is a fusion genre, mixing elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. Ok, so that means that its the mongrel child of metal and punk. Therefore, we can only conclude that this is not metal but instead a diluted form of two genres. Now, on the subject of Trivium's recent abundance of Metallica type songs: QUOTE There has been a lot of controversy among many of Trivium's fans. Some claim that the band have just dropped their metalcore style in exchange for playing a style highly reminiscent of Metallica's 80's thrash sound, based mainly on the belief that metalcore is slowly dwindling in popularity. - Citing Wiki again here.Popularity indeed. Looking at Metal-Archives reviews there seem to be a lot of people that agree with me when I said this, again, to quote: QUOTE If that's true, then Cliff Burton must have faked his own death. Seriously, there is no band that has done a better job at plagiarism and marketing than Trivium, and "The Crusade" is absolute and accurate proof. QUOTE As in the previous reviews on this site…saying that the Crusade sounds like Metallica doesn’t really convey that thought. I mean, shit, a lot of bands take ideas from Metallica and use them. Trivium just down right carbon copied the formula Metallica uses. Right down to Hetfield’s vocals… QUOTE Anyone with an extensive knowledge of metal will hear a lot of passages on this album that sound oddly familiar, altered versions of riffs and leads from other bands - especially Iron Maiden and Metallica. QUOTE This is the first album I have EVER given a zero. And this zero goes to Triviums The Crusade not because of the music, but because it's the biggest rip-off-Metallica album that has ever been produced. QUOTE People call them the next Metallica, and by listening to The Crusade, it's no surprise. Trivium has managed to rip off Metallica in the form of a 13-song album without leaving a single note that sounds original. Citing 5 different reviews there. -------------------- Don't Panic.

The metal archives also says there lyrical themes are suffering, hate, malice, and anger..and as an extremnely dedicated fan of trivium since Ember to Inferno, thats completley wrong, the metal archives is a load of crap. They know not what they talk about when it comes to trivium. The metal archives isnt "Official" in anyway, its submitted information from random people, so this "Tyrant" and "Syao" people have an oppinion on a website, therefore it must be true? i dont care what Tyrant and Syao think of trivium, they dont even know what the lyrical themes are, i know whats true in my heart, and i stand by it, i wont standby oppinions formed by people i dont know, ever heard of, or have any credibility.

I believe Metallica's recent albums have been classified as Alternate Rock, it depends what way you want to look at things.

I think your right,
I reckon they probably strive off the belief that "Any publicity is good publicity". -------------------- Don't Panic.
