First 'Ember to Inferno' Demos | Matthew K Heafy | Trivium Origin Series

[@alterI4]

Dude the Storm always seemed like the most well written song of early Trivium. not sure where I found it but I remember it being one of the first Trivium songs I listened to. Groovy drums and sick ass riffs. It’s cool to know heafy also holds that song in high esteem

[@hunterhoffman9980]

sworn too!

[@matthewflores4941]

I don’t care what anyone says, I would LOVE a re-record of Ember to Inferno. Pillar of Serpents was an amazing re-record.

[@AngelHernandez-rp5fp]

You should care, almost everyone wants it, just read Pillars of serpents comments lol

[@iluvtacoz123]

honestly ember doesn't need to be re recorded, it has a fucking amazing unique sound that ive never heard in any other album. its amazing.

[@Brain_Hurt1]

I wish for this every day

[@RyuujinLetum]

​@iluvtacoz123 actually kinda do because those demos are awesome but can't understand Matt lol

[@WatanabeNoTsuna.]

It has been rerecorded. It's amazing, but i still prefer the original version. 😅

[@FearlessDemise]

Red demo, blue demo, and yellow demo..... when did we Pokémon

[@kaizoku1190]

I'm pretty sure that's what Matt says it was based on lol

[@diegodoesmusic]

The Storm would be legit re-recorded. A bunch of old trivium songs recorded would be dope as hell

[@marit775]

yep! I second that!

[@ThePixelatedChef]

100% fuck yes

[@Muzaka]

The Storm is a masterpiece.

[@forestof0ctober06]

Can we get a re-recording of these songs? That would be awesome

[@TheOrigGuitarHeroes]

If they did this, I'd probably pee myself. Real talk.

[@royalcat10]

It's not too much longer until Ember's 20th anniversary, just a little under 3 years until then... A re-recording for that would be pretty badass.

[@hunterhoffman9980]

Like on that unreleased song blitzkreig like what a kick ass riff

[@EMP_castlebravo]

I really just want to hear “Thrust” re recorded so I can figure out the lyrics

[@someonesomeone7425]

Good profile picture

[@nickshepley2566]

Forget a re recording Appreciate this for what it is Trivium’s story is incredible

[@THEUNHINGEDSANITY]

I’m blessed to own 2 copies of the “Blue Demo” CD. Glad I invested on those copies during the Road Rage ‘04 tour. Goes to show to take a chance on an upcoming band!

[@richardmetalfan94]

Yo sell me a copy

[@chrismeadows4216]

Even at 14, you sounded fucking amazing. You had the perfect thrash metal voice, refined technique or not. Obviously, you were a fantastic guitarist early on. I love The Storm almost as much as the late-2000s tracks. Brilliant stuff that would be great to hear live or in a new way. Awesome content, Matt!

[@MichaelMackertMusic]

This is very cool. Watching behind the scenes on the early days of the band raising and growing. Always super sweet seeing/hearing these back stories. Good stuff. By the way, the V drum kit doesn't sound too bad. CDR's 🤣😂🤣 classic. I remember going through those like it was going out of style. Still do too 😎😎

[@rauharikas6905]

Sworn is like one of my all time favourite song by you guys. That solo is giving me chills

[@stormcloud-9369]

Same here dude!

[@danaddison03]

CONSTANT CHILL DEEP INSIDE

[@Carascoroscovaldo]

9:39 I always thought that this version was the official one, because it's stupidly better.

[@The_Apothecary]

1:57 Hetfield "YeaYEAHH" ? haha

[@richardw1992]

Matt, I've always been a huge fan and got into Trivium when Ascendancy was released. It was the album that got me properly into metal and playing guitar. Then I discovered Ember to Inferno and loved that too. Shortly after you released The Crusade and after Shogun I started to drift away from it all. Recently dusted off my guitar and started getting back into it slowly learning all the tracks off Ascendancy. I would absolutely love it if you rerecorded Ember with a tighter more modern sound. The simple harmonies used throughout that album on both guitar and vocals are amazing. In terms of guitar tone and overall production I think Ascendancy and Shogun sound the best to my ears. Shogun is more polished overall, but there is something about Ascendancy that just sounds perfect. Would love to know what amps you used in the studio, I heard it was a Peavey XXX? I've tried getting into your newer albums in the last few years but with the exception of the odd song they seem to lack that special something that Ascendancy and Ember have to my ears. Anyway this is another long winded vote for a re-release of Ember to Inferno.

[@rpmartin8650]

I agree man, the newer albums just don't have that special something that Ascendancy had.

[@getaround1]

To me, it's just nostalgia. The newer albums are better but listening to the older albums feels like listening to my personal growth.

[@JobForAMaxboy]

I think they should leave ember alone. The musicians themselves sounded better at that point in my opinion, even though they were very young

[@PladimirVutin77]

Haha wow same here for literally everything you just said

[@AnthonyWabo]

THE STORM is my favorite song, should be re-recorded 100%!!!!!!!!!! THE CHORUS is amazing!

[@thatpineappleguy9813]

Damn that studio guy sounds like kind of a jerk haha.

[@PonchoVonRichtor]

Yea, a straight up douche bag

[@JobForAMaxboy]

Yeah, and that recording is not worth a few thousand dollars. It sounds like an unmixed 4 track demo...

[@loganpriest6029]

Sounds like a dumb ass is what he sounds like

[@akumakami9727]

Yeaaa you know where I was when I was 14?... buried deep in a severe depression and anxiety pit that I couldn't crawl out of 😂, but goddamn that raw pure energy.

[@dlmetal9606]

Oh my gosh!!! I've been wanting a Storm re-recording for like 10 years now! PLEEEEEASSEEE do it!

[@robmoon3061]

Please re-record the storm. Its among my favorite songs of yours!

[@aserabus]

I'm so glad that you have had the ability to record albums since you were 13 or 14. Meanwhile I'm almost 40 and I'm fighting tooth and nail just to make my first album in my entire life, while I've been playing since I was 6 years old. Your very lucky you have had the opportunity to do so. My project will be a nuclear bomb on the stale, and stagnant metal scene that keeps cranking out the same old shit, We are going to be the next Slipknot/Metallica. Look out

[@muro4796]

Those are VERY bold words, I don't think there's gonna be a next Metallica at all

[@WatanabeNoTsuna.]

You sound like an asshole with a lot of talk but nothing to show for it. Maybe the problem is not everyone else, you know...?

[@lasv155]

Yes. Please re record Ember album...please Matt . the people have spoken

[@DxTrixterz]

Ember to Inferno is really such an underrated and underappreciated album. Everyone is losing their mind over Ascendancy and Shogun but for me Ember to Inferno is as good.
