YESSS!

[@aaron.biketrials]

Can't disagree!

[@TheEngineeringDutchman]

Masterpiece is an understatement of how good this song is

[@ChrisGardon]

Best song of the album, and one of the best Trivium songs ever! 🤘🤘

[@strikeforce1980]

I second that

[@toresubas7778]

Latest album has so many ...

[@TheWarInside248]

I totally agree guys defo my favourite too 2nd is the phalanx 🤘😀🤘

[@TheSentinel909]

Such a standout track, really gives a change of pace - and love the gothic, Dark Souls vibe it has.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Never... Actually now that you mention it, the whole album sort of has a dark souls vibe to it. Any song in it could point to something in the trilogy, even no way back just through

[@ShaneEdgewind]

There just.. aren't words. One of my all time favorite songs already. This and The Phalanx.

[@chrismeadows4216]

This is easily one of the best vocal songs that you've ever recorded, Matt!!! Please take your crown, king!!! 👑👌🏼

[@musikinspektorcom]

Had seen it on the stream already. Best song and a vocal challenge. Great.

[@strikeforce1980]

MT FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!! NOT JUST BY TRIVIUM IM SAYING OF ALL F-ING TIME!! BEAUTIFULLY BRUTAL!!

[@daverattlehead4589]

ten years later trivium will be remembered as one of the gods of heavy metal. mark my words

[@pascalschulz5894]

If you think about it - these guys are still pretty "young" and got a lot of years ahead of them and they're already considered as some kind of legends in metal. Well deserved.

The Shadow Of The Abattoir" Lyrics Snow covers every path Stumbling, no turning back Pushing further till I fall Looking up, I hear him call What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way No cover from the sun Crumbling, fall one by one Look in envy at the dead They took pity as they said What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Black waters in our wake Sinking, await our fate Our dead future has arrived Dark refrain, we can't deny What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the depths I will rise Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Snow covers every path Stumbling, no turning back You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir

[@Chaos46992]

Awesome vocal range, like the lower notes in the verses, and how you hit the highs in other parts. Great acoustic work too, even did some melodic thrashing on it!

[@BookofJohn3V8]

My fave song off the album. I love the end when it goes 'snow covers every pathhhhh!'

Wow! Just discovered your channel. Really good!

[@aaron.biketrials]

When you switch in and out of picking where do you hold your pick?

[@kadiray2651]

Nice performance thank you. Would you think considering changing the guitar cameras angle? Fingerboard cam to your right, picking hand cam to your left. I think it will be better what do you think :)

[@turfinat0r]

Man this eso update is metal

What's the tuning of your guitar in, Drop C? Keep up the amazing work, Man!

[@First_Act_Last]

But what if I am searching for a battle and hypothetically I find a beast to slay? What then? 🤔

[@toresubas7778]

My best band... One thing, please play V guitar instead of the mandolin! After Megadeth, only you...

[@empirethehorsemandeath3197]

I just have to ask this. I don't think it matters which of the three accounts I have that I ask it from ither. What exactly inspired you to write this song? What kind of relationship to animal kind do you have and is it your apathy or just the bloody dark draw of likes and your monetary benefits that drives you to lean into it' as you will? I love your music but as I also value Marilyn Manson's music, you both tend to go in a direction of extremism where the lines of intention become blurred.

[@masterweapon334]

wut

[@Glintingbeetle]

@@masterweapon334 the song is about a slaughter („ Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay “) and the abbatoir is a synonym for slaughterhouse

[@empirethehorsemandeath3197]

@@Glintingbeetle I knew it was referring to a slauterhouse. I was asking it's singer to elaborate on his inspirations but thank you.
