[@justinkendell301]

Listen to The Sin And The Sentence. Its Alex Bents first album with Trivium and you can tell they leveled up with him behind the kit

[@RyanCogar]

Matt's vocals on Shogun (2008) & In Waves (2011) were some of his most brutal, Trivium's last 3 records since 2017 have also been pretty great with the addition Alex Bent on drums & have been like a whole new era for the band🤘

[@Mitch-tw8sv]

[@adamcogan211]

Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard from Matt! Matt’s vocals were very close to this heaviness from Shogun to the end of In Waves before he damaged his voice. This is peak BEEFY HEAFY NOW! Paula and Nik are crushing it with the couplecore music!

[@ApocApocrypha]

You have to listen to Trivium's Shogun album. It's my favorite of them.

[@sergimila1206]

Not strange since Careless Whisper has been the prelude song in the last Meshuggah's tour. So all of the sudden this old Wham's score has gone crazy Metal 😆

[@DrPogo88]

Matt does so many styles of music. I love his twitch streams when I’m getting ready for work. He’s always doing something awesome. I remember seeing Trivium right after In Waves came out in Manhattan and they opened with In Waves. The lights were dark and you see them take their spots and you hear this Nergal-like “INNNNNN WAAAAAAVESSS” like two steps down and this head aging riff, and then he goes into this perfect harmonic singing for the verses. He’s incredible he did every single era of trivium exactly uniquely

[@Valaran1]

I've been a massive Trivium fan since their first album, and this might be the hardest he's ever gone. Guh damn.

[@jayb7775]

"Sin and the Sentence" gets my vote.

[@huntermercier00]

Matt’s vocals left me stun locked, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him go that hard

[@HowitzerBass]

Those chorus vox have strong Bleed From Within vibes with how it's layered. Not mad at that. This was a solid track!

[@Falla__]

That lil Careless Whisper riff in there is sick.

[@samcrorie]

Yes, Paula is a lefty and she doesn't use a pick. She uses her thumbnail. If I'm not mistaken, I think I hear Nik doing background vocals. I love this song! Beefy Heafy indeed 🤘😁🤘🔥

[@Rockhound999]

Matt do have his solo thing going "IBARAKI" inspired by black metal.

[@ssjBrett77]

Def get caught up on Trivium, you'd enjoy it! These are not his consistent Trivium vocals and it's epic to hear this range from Matt!

[@derekwebster110]

You definitely should check out more Trivium. Matt doesn't sing a lot like that on Trivium, but he does have some heavier vocals on some songs, like Dusk Dismantled, and A Skyline Severenve; both off In Waves. Trivium is among my favorite bands, and I've been a fan since the Ascendancy days. I've loved their evolution, and their last 3 albums with drummer Alex Bent are among the best theyve done overall. Different than their early stuff, but I appreciate all their stuff.

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

Trivium is my favorite band. while Matt has been doing some crazier stuff on stream lately, so far he hasn´t done anything like this on any Trivium album. but their albums Shogun and In The Cort Of The Dragon are absolutely amazing. highly recommended.

[@Acorn3166]

Trivium has been my favorite band for the last 20 years and I’ve never heard those kind of vocals come from Matt ever. So good!

[@darrenhill3514]

Tank, what you said about solos/breakdowns is 100% spot on. I love a good breakdown but there is nothing better than a super sick solo, or set of solos. So many bands miss the mark with me because they don't put a solo in their songs. It honestly kind of drives me nuts lol great take!

[@JoeH8723]

really want to hear more of matt doing this, its insane :D

[@Raccoonactual]

The Ember to Inferno, Shogun, and In Waves albums from Trivium had very similar vocals from Matt on a lot of the tracks. The Ascendency album (their 2nd album) Matt dialed back on the screams because he was doing them in unhealthy ways, so he took voice lessons and reintroduced it into the sound after he could scream properly without straining his vocals. The Ember to Inferno vocals were very raspy (and you could tell it was harshly done) but it is my favorite album from Trivium. The instrumentals in that album was phenomenal too.

[@randywilliams5605]

Nik and Paula are giving me heavy Synyster and Zacky vibes with the opposite hands and the harmonies.

[@HUGHJANNOB]

Matt experimented with these more extreme vocals on Shogun, which is also arguably Trivium's most experimental and heaviest album to date. Any track from that is definitely worth a listen if you ever get the chance

Well, Tank that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word. When you started out watching the video.

[@rhwerkman]

I see what you did there.

[@Mindgamehagi]

The last 3 albums of Trivium since Alex Bent joined the band are amazing. If you want to be even more blown away by Matt vocal listen to the album Fractured by Capharnaum (tech death with Dan Mongrain of Martyr) he was only 16 years old during the recording on that project.

[@kristimarriner7673]

Matt going full Japanese wagyu beef on this track🥩🔥

[@ryanlewis4801]

Every single time Nik blows my mind with his musical creativity, watched his vid from a stream making metal riffs outa random clips, and his ability to hear something and instantly have like 4 good riff ideas in his head is insane! Paula is just nuts on guitar, being a lefty and the fact she can play this kinda chunky-rifftastic-epic soloing, with her fucking finger nail is nuts 😂 Matt blew me away on this too im like you only ever really listened to a few trivium and never heard any like that, that and im sure nik lives near matt now (remember seeing nik post a pic with him at a bbq) they prob did this acc in person minus chris with the drums which is ace to see

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Definitely check out The Sin & The Sentence. I don't think Trivium have ever made a bad album but that one is my favorite. Bangers from start to finish. And shows off Matt's clean & harsh vocals.

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

Trivium is an awesome band. My favourite. And Matt doesn't normally sound like that. But he's definitely improved massively since ascendancy. You really should check more Trivium out. Their sound keeps evolving and they definitely keep getting better

[@robmart116]

His vocals were great in ascendency I’d say he has slightly improved since then, a massive improvement from Ember and Crusade

[@johnwooldridge4612]

Tank we were rocking the same length beard and I recently shaved mine off also. Dk if I’m going to go back to the big beard, I’m actually kind of enjoying it being shorter and I’m liking the change

[@thehartmann]

The opening riff (which returns after the first chorus) really reminds me of Tallah's "Red Light", sounds really similar, maybe even an inspiration?

[@kerrysweathershorts5055]

Shattering the skies above is a good one to hear his range. Granted, that song is also over 15 years old, but you can hear the deeper growls he can do on that track.

[@SirChubblesSteen]

Better vocals than all of his other Trivium stuff

[@mattporter3162]

as some one who has been listening to trivium forever i've never heard matt go that low, but after listening to it back you can tell that it is all him on vocals,

[@kevinmatthews9469]

Tank, come on Tank. We see what you are doing Tank. Geesh bro. Appreciate you brother.

[@cgkiller1220]

I dont know if anyone mentioned it but matt went pretty crazy on Ibaraki. He openly said that was a heavier project than Trivium.

[@DaGobster1]

Been awhile since I listened to Trivium but GODDANM...had no idea Matt had that vocal range either.

[@Kickenwing13]

Shogun is one of the best metal albums ever. Between 2008 and the release of their last three albums, they went through several drummers and explored a lot of different directions. It's a journey in which everything is fresh, but you never know what to expect from one Trivium album to the next. However, the last three albums have been freaking amazing since they found their drummer, Alex Bent.

[@Kickenwing13]

By the way missed the reactions. Definitely got me through covid and post covid. Hope everything's going well dude

[@kennethosburn2962]

Matt just ascended to a higher God tier of vocals. Absolutely insane if those are him doing the lows after a quarter century of not approaching them at all in Trivium.

[@bananaman_04]

Matt has a side project called Ibaraki, black metal. Also Matt plays Aristides on his livestreams

[@aliont]

on songs that will probably never be performed live, Matt is willing to go CRAAAZY on vocals. He tends to play it safe with Trivium stuff because it has to be done live over n over again

[@MetalMama-Mimi523]

I hear 'Careless Whispers' at 4:47 but don't know if I would have heard it if someone didn't point it out

[@FLOURISHFAMILYENT]

Damn matts vox sounds fuckin amazing on this song. Absolutely incredible

[@demondrive147]

Check out "Trivium - Dusk Dismantled" (In Waves album), where Matt does his lower guttural growls more often. He throws em here and there on the record where necessary too.

[@christianzanders1271]

Matt did vocals like this on Upon The Shores from Shogun and does stuff like this while streaming

[@StellaStorm2515]

That’s all Matt Tank. Matt can definitely do heavier harsher vocals it’s not new to him. He doesn’t often, but he has been trying to improve his voice/vocal range over the years so he can do it more properly without destroying it. This is probably the heaviest his vocals have sounded so far. A good Trivium song to check out with Matt’s heavier vocals is “Dusk Dismantled”.

[@Edymos1000]

I agree that Dusk Dismantled is one of his heaviest vocal performances but this is far and away the most "deathcore" he has ever sounded by a fair bit.

[@tgkorman5565]

Tank my man, Shogun album is one of their best albums. Sin and the Sentence with Alex Bent just was an amazing addition to Trivium. Vengeance, Silence in The Snow Matt had throat issues and call Avenge Sevenfold to get the voice coach to scream healthier. Still has some bangers on those two albums.

[@DeadlyElfen]

Matt got super awesome on the screaming scenario when he learned on how to scream properly, but you can tell when singing the Wretchedness inside.

[@Mitch-tw8sv]

Trivium is my favorite band of all time and has been for a while now. If you want some vocally heavier Trivium stuff maybe try one of the following: Dusk Dismantled A Skyline's Severance Thrown Into the Fire Amongst the Shadows and the Stones (my personal favorite of those I mentioned) Bending the Arc to Fear In the Court of the Dragon

Matt pretty much does black metal screaming and Trivium screaming. He didn't do the all out "album screams" live (and during the streams) for the last years, mostly just a safe tecnique that with time he made sound very well but had limits because he had hurt his vocal chords baaadly. But now, like last few months, he all out screams a whooole lot more again.
