Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing "Throes of Perdition" by TRIVIUM

[@TheStryker247]

Shogun is the album that many consider peak trivium, although the Sin and the Sentance signals a return to form. If you listen to the entirety of shogun, you will not be disappointed

[@theevilincarnate645]

Johann Thomas Shogun (Special Edition) with the extra songs as well is awesome

[@alexmartin7208]

Shogun is just a masterpiece of what metal can be

[@KillerDCInstinct]

Amen! That album is truly a masterpiece. But I will say Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis is their most masterful song -- just superb!

[@nordiques8298]

I honestly didn't listen to everyh songs of Shogun but The Sin And The Sentences is just perfect

[@TheStryker247]

King Of The Underdogs, yea poison knife and the noose and Upon the Shores are fantastic and in my opinion better than some of the songs on the original record. Plus I like the artwork more for special edition.

[@DavidPerez-js8he]

Trivium - Pull harder on the sitrings of your martyr

[@matthaios67]

David PereZ oh finally someone suggested that one! For me it's their absolutely best track from one of the best metal albums.

[@gruisertobyw]

ALEX YOU MUST!

[@DavidPerez-js8he]

matthaios67 It is muy favorite track

[@Frederick0220]

Yes. That and Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation

[@Rohil319]

This guy is on a Trivium roll. I like it.

[@brycestluka5198]

Two Trivium videos in one day! You are killing it today Alex! 👍🤘

[@brandonL18]

"Hip-hop head" is slowly becoming a major metal head \m/

[@EdwardBrown77]

If you want to keep on the Trivium train, I would love to see a reaction video for the following Trivium songs: In Waves Caustic Are the Ties That Bind Sever The Hand Also, here are a few other suggestions: Metallica- Spit out The Bone Slipknot- Purity Arch Enemy- As The Pages Burn Metallica- The Unforgiven Alesana- Red and Dying Evening

[@ablandman9267]

As the pages burn! yes! also another trivium song, “A Skylines Severance”

[@tn4234]

Lol pull harder the strings of your martyr

[@mitchellcambron2440]

Edward Brown why not gunshot to the head of trep?

[@tn4234]

Mitchell Cambron yess man

[@ryanls2330]

His head will explode if he listens to Sever the Hand from that breakdown \m/

[@fabriciobastos4674]

We need more trivium Krisute gomen Lets go Alex hugs from Brasil. Kiri-sute gomen Kiri-sute gomen[1] (斬捨御免 or 切捨御免, "authorization to cut and leave [the body of the victim]") is an old Japanese expression dating back to the feudal era right to strike(right of samurai to kill commoners for perceived affronts). Samurai had the right to strike with sword at anyone of a lower classwho compromised their honor.

[@williamdunn7829]

Shogun by Trivium please!

[@axcelarellano23]

Justice For None A long video as well

[@AlphaXbot]

Justice For None I've been saying this for awhile. It'll show him a different side of Trivium

[@MegaTechpc]

The best part about getting into Trivium nowadays is that they have an entire discography of epicness that will keep you listening for a loooooong time! There are gobs of absolutely stunning tracks on every single album from Ember, Ascendancy, Crusade, Shogun, In Waves, Vengeance (yes, there ARE great songs on that record), Silence (ditto), and Sin. They've been around so long and have always maintained such a high level of quality in their albums that my personal list of favorite Trivium songs probably numbers into the 50's!!!

[@tjonkst]

I’ve just discovered this guy and I am loving these reaction vids! He’s so genuinely excited and enthusiastic hearing this music. It takes me back to the first time I heard my favorite bands and that feeling of “holy shit, this is fucking awesome!” Keep the vids coming!

[@callummcrae7774]

Have only recently found Trivium Shogun album and been playing it non stop since, so good! You REALLY need to hit up some old school Parkway Drive! Imma say Horizons, Sleepwalker or Home is for the Heartless🤘

[@tylunsherod]

"If home is where the heart is, why do I feel so fucking heartless!"

[@PupuKani1]

Each day after work I get a moment to watch your latest video. They always bring back some good memories about concerts i've been. Trivium playing Caustic are the Ties that Bind and Throes of Perdition are one of the best songs that i've ever heard live. Keep up making great videos. Greetings from Finland!!!!!!!

[@fhilep1056]

What about Ghost Of Perditon by Opeth ?

[@btemp2003]

YES!

[@reinderp5967]

YES DUDE

[@ryanbollinger1759]

100 percent yes!!!!

[@christophersmith588]

Alex thanks for makin videos and being so positive I came to this video bummed as hell and feeling terrible, I watched your sin and the entrance video and just lifted my spirits so much then I came here I'm feeling way better, thank you from the bottom of my heart I love watching you react to some of my favorite songs man keep up the amazing work

[@wickedlynasty1210]

IN WAVES!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@wickedlynasty1210]

BrynM LMAO! I've heard this before. Have to admit tho In Waves is where it's at for sure!

[@phe0385]

I'll never understand people's obsession with this song. It's so repetitive. "Dusk Dismantled" or "A Skyline's Severance" are much better picks from this album. Or, if we're counting the Special Edition, the bonus track "Shattering the Skies Above."

[@nogood5933]

PheFo Growl line in this song is iconic, so catchy and heavy. Makes the crowd go nuts every time.

[@dainiusvysniauskas2049]

It's extremely catchy. Also, despite being somewhat repetitive, it is still well written

[@GrimReaper-vh9dg]

In waves is very repetitive it's meh

[@Darknight0781]

Trivium - Strife. Also, BATMETAL RETURNS.

[@ramennudle1955]

Yes, You should totally react to Strife!

[@SSJ4Gamma]

Batmetal though

[@KT559]

Absolutely Batmetal

[@SSJ4Gamma]

Kevin Taylor That wasn’t a question that was more of a, I FUCK WITH BATMETAL. Ir just memesters that Dethklok are.

[@axcelarellano23]

Darknight0781 The guitar and the drum intro are SIIIIICK

[@ivanlara4623]

React to Trivium - A Gunshot To The Head of Trepidation (Live at Wacken Open Aires 2013)

[@fabriciobastos4674]

Lalo Lara it is an amazing performance Good choice man

[@DixielandOutlaw]

We moved into a new house on 5 acres like 10 days ago and we don’t have internet or tv service. so all I can do is watch KZbin with 480p using data, and because of that I’ve been watching so many of your videos til 2 am. I’m enjoying listening to different genres and other metal cause I mostly listen to Metallica. If you’ve read this far I hope you have a dope ass day :)

[@AspiireToBe]

pull on the strings of your martyr - a super og Trivium song

[@ningyupowadat]

Aspiire To Be yeah but not the video it butchers the song

[@Frederick0220]

Yup. That and Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation

[@tylerday7465]

I showed this video to my frozen dinner... its now cooked 🔥

[@OEpistimon]

I played it for my flashlight. It turned into the sun.

[@KayleannBFMV]

React to Parkway Drive. You haven't done a second video yet. I think you will really like "Vice Grip" and "The Void"

[@derbabadook2958]

KayleannBFMV I requestet Parkway Drive since three weeks but I think he isn't interested

[@KayleannBFMV]

Der Babadook In the video, he said he liked them and he said to comment more songs to react to. So, I don't know

[@derbabadook2958]

KayleannBFMV I hope he hasn't forget it

[@nomeru_0]

parkway drive got really boring after atlas

[@tylerday7465]

KayleannBFMV I think he would like ire and after that the most. More his cup of tea I think. 😊

[@RyanCogar]

All these noobs asking for Strife lol. Yes it has a cool little guitar lick intro and has a good hook but that's about it. "Thrown into the fire" bro for the real trivium, or "A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation" but not the shortened music video version, use the official audio on trivium's YT channel if you're gonna do gunshot. More Shogun tunes also please :D literally any of the material I have mentioned eclipses "Strife" easily.

[@maris2559]

Could not agree MORE about Gunshot to the Head... Also Pull Harder on the Strings.

[@ClikcerProductions]

Well surely Alex should be exposed to all of their different sounds before he goes and sees them live? And he hasn't listened to any of their "light" stuff yet so Strife seems like something he should listen to before the concert

[@Loftus4345]

Shogun (the song) is also fucking amazing. It really displays their writing ability.

[@RyanCogar]

Clikcer Productions maybe but just the VF album for me is probably joint weakest with crusade. I would still recommend other softer tracks over strife. It does have some cool moments for sure, I just can't stand the draiman influenced verse vocals mainly. I would prefer other softer songs over strife e.g ghost that's haunting you, darkness of my mind, dying in your arms & a grey so dark. Just more interesting songs as a whole in my opinion.

[@RyanCogar]

Marissa Duffy Yeah those 2 tracks and probably like light to flies would be like the "quintessential early trivium sound"

[@aneryeon3224]

Dude, you should check out Lateralus by Tool, not only is it a great song, but it has a tie to the Fibbonaci Sequence, you need to listen to it.

[@joshuamiller1111]

Aneryeon long ass song. But it's worth it. Not as long as Rosetta Stoned.

[@tn4234]

I say stinkfist from tool

[@ricketycricket4361]

Hell yeah, lateralus is a great tool song but honestly I'd prefer right in two or vicarious. Such deep meaningful songs.

[@mm31740]

ÆNEMA!!!

[@walking_contradiction92]

Has he tried Tool yet?

[@gabrielramirez7646]

So cool you are going to go see them soon! That's so dope dude and I am jealous but I'm sure you will go crazy with them live man! They have grown so much ! Thanks for the double upload of this amazing band dude!

[@markuscovi8436]

I watch your videos nonstop since I found your channel yesterday... First of all Welcome to the Metal Family! Always good to have a Metalhead who understands the true meaning of it more :) With this I would like to share one of my most beloved songs who means a lot to me Machine Head - Halo... I know you will love it :) greets from Austria

[@borjalacosta8018]

Down from the sky!!

[@tombozza852]

Thank you so much for these reactions, you truly show that Metal is a feeling that goes way deeper than just the stereotype. I was turned on to your videos with your first slipknot reaction, being my favorite band I really appreciated your open mind, and that you saw what I feel is the most important thing about metal and that is the passion to create something beyond music. Enjoy the concert I’ll never forget my first metal show it was ozzfest 2001 where I saw slipknot for the first time! There is no going back your a metal head now welcome to the family!

[@iamt3ddy]

This has always been my favorite song from Trivium. The lyrics of the chorus have always resonated with me as an anthem to keep moving forward. They read: Life feels like hell should This hell's so cold Pull another knife out Stick it with the rest of them When my back is full Turn me around to face it Do not let others betrayal, degradation, etc of others stop you from becoming who you want to be.

[@faze_happyg0524]

[@anotherlife6334]

@@metalhead684 Strife is very underrated

[@nikolaytrofimov4175]

You know man, since the beginning of the year I started to watch reaction channels, every of them is like "HIP-HOP HEAD REACTS TO...", and now I see the hip-hop head who bought the tickets for Trivium show. This is amazing, man! Im so glad that people like you avoiding prejudice and giving a chance to another type of music (Im a metalhead, since my school days, but sometimes I can listen to some rap or hip-hop - I like Eminem, Necro, Tech9 btw). You know what? This way you're making the world a lil bit better. Thanks, Alex! Cheers from Russia!

[@ins7181]

From doing one metal video per week with "Metal Monday" to having 2 Trivium videos in one day? I love where you're going with this channel, Trivium made me pick up a guitar a few years ago and I'm loving watching you get captivated by them!

[@Kingofkingsrandy]

I am glad you are doing more reactions to Trivium, I am in love with their music and am so happy that you enjoy them as well, also really jealous that you get to see them live. Well that is all I wanted to say have a great day.

[@serbster]

check out ghost of perdition by Opeth, specially if you like growling and singing

[@SimpaticoReal]

Double dose of Trivium, I could not be happier about this. While Throes of Perdition isn’t my favorite song on Shogun, it’s still a kickass song from a near perfect album. A lot of people are requesting In Waves, but I think you should react to Blind Leading the Blind because it will show you another, more melodic side of Trivium. Just a thought. P.S. sorry for the ramble

[@stinky-boyz1291]

Alter Bridge- Metalingus

[@swizzler68]

I've seen Trivium live twice in the UK, amazing band so god-damn talented. I listen to them on my mp3 in the gym which takes me to a whole new level, and gets me through the grueling heavy sessions.

[@puterazulfiqar7521]

Insomnium - While We Sleep. A beautiful song

[@Reav4n]

Trivium - Shattering The Skies Above Trivium - Caustic Are The Ties That Bind Trivium - Sever The Hand These were all played in the show I attended. A girl next to me started crying at the beginning riffs of Sever The Hand, out of happines that she finally sees them live. Crazy energy and positivity from that concert, cant wait for their next world tour.

[@lluun7938]

I'm going to be persistent, but you have to check out Whitechapel - Elitist Ones !

[@derbabadook2958]

Stalin X in my opinion the best Deathcore band

[@josevillarreal6252]

or Endless War

[@Blood-Talon]

YAAAAAAASSSSS

Max Cavalera from old Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, etc, etc, etc), and my all-time favorite song Passenger (ft. Maynard James Keenan from Tool)

[@randommetalhead7]

Matt Heafy was 22 when Shogun came out back in september 2008, it's my favorite album of all time. You should react to the whole album, you won't regret it. Just start with the other classic single Down From The Sky and the title track masterpiece Shogun. Trivium is my favorite band, these dudes are a gift to the music world.

Man, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine kinda saved my life almost 7 years ago i got through my depressions only thanks to music. I'm one year younger than you, but still I almost died in winter of 2010. They helped me recover from my scars and terrible loss....

[@pympin87]

do until the world goes cold next or betrayer

[@ennmansworld]

Throes of Perdition is one of their best live songs imo... i hope you'll hear it on your concert bro \m/

[@MrJayforce22]

That's more or less the essence of prog metal, you get a wide variety of styles within the band that come out in different songs/albums. Basically all prog metal bands pull influence from Dream Theater. These guys have been doing it for almost 20 years now, seems like yesterday...

[@KyleJPie10]

Trivium definitely isn't prog metal, although they do carry some elements of it (primarily on Shogun).

[@MrJayforce22]

You can't really classify them as any particular metal genre, which is why I just call them prog....and a good deal of their influences are prog metal as well. Potato, potahto...

[@KyleJPie10]

Prog is all about pushing boundaries and doing new things whilst being influenced by a wide variety of genres (jazz, blues, classical, etc). Trivium is one of my all time favorite bands but they've never really pushed any boundaries as far as metal goes. They're just a group of really talented musicians that can write great metal music.

[@MrJayforce22]

They also incorporate technical and theoretical complexity in their music, which is also what prog is all about. They are just as much a prog band as they are a melodic death metal or thrash metal band. Their is no clear classification here. No need to argue about it, neither of us are 100% right.

[@KyleJPie10]

It really isn't complex music, at least not in the metal world. No strong usage of odd time signatures or time signature changes. Song structures are rather simple. I'm not denying that they do have a select few songs that could definitely be classified as such, but when you look at their discography as a whole, you can't call them progressive. Ember and Ascendancy are metalcore. Crusade is melodic thrash (Title track is quite progressive). Shogun could definitely be labeled as a progressive metal album. In Waves is metalcore. Vengeance Falls and Silence in the Snow are just pretty generic radio metal. The Sin and the Sentence has a few moments you could say are inspired by progressive music but nothing really stands out in that realm outside of the drumming. Bent is fucking phenomenal. Instantly became the most talented member in the band.

[@pastynewb2787]

You're gonna love the show! Hope you grey to meet them! Matt is super down to earth and awesome!

[@evansmith2680]

Dog, you have to listen to Shogun the song, it's the best on the album imo

It just sounds so damn good. Anyways, have a dope day dude. React to some King 810. I commented yesterday and I’ll comment it again. King 810 is a nu metal band like Slipknot in a way but they’re a lot more raw with some crazy songs. Fat Around the Heart or Alpha and Omega are good songs. The music videos are something else too

I love Trivium, they are probably my favorite band right now after Metallica being my favorite for many years. Every album of Trivium brings a different sound but still somehow stays true to their sound which is something I feel many bands struggles to accomplish.

[@akshitpadhu4741]

Shogun !!!!!

[@meatmun7747]

Trivium is one of my favorite bands. I like collecting cds and records so naturally I have all of the special editions and original releases, like the original issue of Ember to Inferno. You should really check out their rerecording of "Pillars of Serpents" that they just put out recently, the vid one youtube is censored so check out the spotify release.

[@ballsack3280]

We have better air conditioning down here. It became very noticeable the last time I visited some family in New York

[@giggle_tush708]

Better air conditioning depends on the BTU rate of the air conditioner, how you contain the cool air, and how well insulated the household is. There is no such thing as "better air conditioning", rather better utilization of amount the cool air it produces.

[@ripha8215]

I agree with you, best thing about Trivium is that they sound different on every record. Keeps it interesting! My suggestions for reactions: King 810 - Fat around the heart Maximum The Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu Dir en grey - Tousei (live)

[@pawlesskitty5768]

So... my favorite thing about Trivium is how descriptive their songs are. Using Throes as an example... read this Blind-folded and gagged stood waiting With the whole world my firing squad At the edge of the world I'm faced out Staring the sun right in the eye Vultures circle above, hyenas mocking the kill Excrement drooling down their chins Atop the cliffs I look down into the starving hell-mouth The rabid foam crashes hard on it's teeth It could be metaphorical, but even taken literally it paints a detailed picture of a man facing a death sentence for not conforming (lyrics in the rest of the song) to an oppressive government. When taken out of the literal context, most of their songs describe many of life's great conflicts... but Trivium does it with beautiful metaphors that are just so damn relatable. TL;DR: Trivium manages to take great wordsmithing and by combining it with great musical talent... they take it to another level.

[@fabriciobastos4674]

I really hate that Slipknot is in that group (I can't stand most of their stuff), but you're probably right. As someone who's been a fan of Trivium since Ascendancy, I am very glad they've become so popular. Now people won't look at me confused when I talk about my favorite band.
