Stoked you chose Built to Fall as one of your favs - that is an underrated Trivium riff/song for sure!

[@Lament2129]

The “And Sadness Will Sear” pull 🔥

[@peteplaysmusic]

That riff has always been one of my favourites from Trivium :)

[@Свободадляроссии]

@@peteplaysmusic haven't heard it in a while, thanks for reminding me. Crazy riff

[@NickfromRBR]

This album reaffirms my belief that the In Waves album is incredible. Arguably underrated.

[@peteplaysmusic]

I will admit, I didn't realise how good it was until making this list. Ascendancy and Shogun were always my favourites :)

[@AiiZStudio]

In waves is their second best album IMO, right after shogun!

[@Xarosai]

@@AiiZStudio Agreed!!

[@tfwnoyandere]

their best album by far followed by shogun my opinion: 1 in waves 2 shogun 3 ember 4 vengeance 5 ascendancy 6 silence 7 sin 8 dragon 9 crusade 10 wtdms

[@AiiZStudio]

@@tfwnoyandere 1 shogun 2 in waves 3 Sin 4 dragon 5 crusade 6 deadmen 7 ascendancy 8 ember 9 silence 10 vengeance falls

[@andrewg6057]

The rhythm part during the solo section of Entrance of the Conflagration has always gone just SO hard in my opinion.

[@Tybren]

That song kicks ass

[@J19Metallica82]

Love the Crusade. Great album.

[@jonkerrmusic]

That whole song is fucking deadly

[@claudiu3005]

Man, there's so many great Trivium riffs to be included in just one video Like a Sword over Damocles, What the Dead Men Say, Entrance of Conflagration, Becoming the Dragon, Caustic Are the Ties that Bind, Forsake not the Dream, The Phalanx, Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis, Shogun, Ascendancy, Declaration... That's just from the top of my head. Amazing plugins, amazing playing as always, Pete!

[@joshmore7175]

More Crusade era riffs needed, that shit slaps

[@chinlessjimmy]

The entirety of The Crusade (the song) is riff heaven

[@EzeVentre]

I definitely need a part two of this series! Too many Trivium riffs to choose from! Keep rocking Pete! 🤘🏻

[@nfal445]

The Crusade, Shogun and Ember to Inferno houses all of my favorite Trivium riffs.

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

I really love the riffs in Shogun (the song, but the whole album rips), and I've always thought Caustic are the Ties That Bind has some wild riffs

[@camdrouilhet6892]

I’ve always been a sucker for the main riff on The Defiant

[@exittragedy1436]

Think that's Matt's own fav Trivium riff lmao

[@ChakraOver9k]

"Like light to the flies" is still my fav 🔥

[@dropittohflat3610]

The wretchedness inside love that main harmonic minor riff on the low G# string.

[@bencross3759]

Inception Of The End is one of the best riffs ever!

[@arifmiftachul8626]

My favorite Trivium's riffs is "caustic are the Ties that bind".. I recommend this song if u never listen to it, at least once

[@6sentient]

Throes of perdition has always been my fav song by them, and when that DIIIIIE breakdown comes, I get an urge to fistsmash a wall

[@CBadger]

12 best riffs. Pick any part of the Shogun album and you're already there.

[@anthonydaher]

Great riff selection, ideal for people who just discovered the band and their blend of sounds !

[@d-fyant1925]

Light to Flies will always be their best to me 🤘🏻

[@Attacian]

The video that brought me into Trivium and now I'm a big, big fan of the album "Ascendency"

[@KarlKarl666]

Down from the sky was the first song I learned to play when I got my first 7 string. The breakdown riff just after the part you played was the reason. Great video dude 🤘

[@RedTail1-1]

Been one of my top 5 since their 1st album. A shining beacon in a dark and stormy teenage life. It says a lot when I can recognize each and every riff from the very first note lol

[@seanhimselfdrums9305]

Condensing Triviums best riffs into a 5min video is no mean feat!! Fricken awesome video and the Bogren stuff seems like the real deal!

[@josessuarezz]

Good list man! Court of the Dragon have really good riffs too

[@MoiseDosSantos]

Trivium goated

[@msi1985]

sounds like the album.... flipping amazing!

[@Hugrolio]

I love Thrown into the Fire. But my favorite one has to be Ascendancy, after the 2nd chorus. Gets me EVERYTIME. Great video.

[@michizer0]

Strife clearly my favorite

[@nowanknows8979]

Absolutely gorgeous tone, big fan

[@xioshio9439]

I always thought that I'm the only one who loved the chord progression in "and sadness will sear". Nice that it made it on the list!

[@greekos99]

Part Two needed!

[@JimsMusicDungeon]

And Sadness Will Sear will always be my fav Trivium song, nice to see it included here :)

[@DhavalVaghela56]

One of my fav KZbinrs doing a riff collection of one of my fav bands. Awesome video Pete 🤘. Surely needs a part 2 😎

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@singleproppilot]

Trivium have so many great guitar riffs, but one of my favorites has always been “Kirisute Gomen”. So fast and thrashy.

[@sai02belinyu44]

You forgot The Crusade, I guess. Awesome instrumental

[@jordanwolfe739]

I know I sound like a Trivium “noob” but the lead in and main riff to strife just slays me every time

[@nathanguy981]

In Waves is my favourite so thanks for including it. And Sadness Will Sear was probably the best part of your video, sounded amazing.

[@ryinrumery2124]

the Pre-chorus/chorus riffs in Forsake not The Dream live rent free in my head. corey and matt are Riff factories and they very rarely have a lame riff in their catalog.

[@welfiblablabla]

Trivium have a massive amount of great riffs🤘 Shogun (like the whole album) is an absolut masterpiece

[@IAMSCOOT]

I think you just filmed yourself miming guitar and used the official instrumental versions of the songs. They're too perfect!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha, they're far from perfect but I appreciate it, thank you! :)

[@cfg1991]

@IAMSCOOT why you lying?? 😂

[@Edgyukid2109]

We need more vids like this.Great job.Most of trivium riffs are epic.

[@tejaskarve]

All these riffs are so simple yet so beautiful... thats the sign of true genius!

[@captain_dsz6049]

Jesus that rain into like light to the flies was so seemless i mean all the transitions were but like god damn it actually worked ao perfectly

[@AxtoPxc_Deathcore]

For me i love the riff in the song rain at breakdown part Pull harder on the string of your martyr at breakdown part And the deceive break down part What the dead men say intro part

[@phokyew699]

Shogun and Throes are so goated

[@disidenciatotal]

Excelente, amigo, saludos desde Colombia-Sur América.

[@mrleek]

Love to see Trivium content, was a little Ascendancy/In Waves heavy, but just means we need a part two!

[@stevenlx4120]

So much great riffs from Trivium, i love them ! Great demo of these new plugins Pete 🤘🤘

[@screamsinsilence6879]

Maybe just because it's ridiculous fun to play, but the intro from Strife has got to be on a part two. Same as The Athenm - wicked riff 🤘

[@racerdeth]

I never got into Trivium, just never rated the songs, but there were always some quality riffs in there.

[@JaxTheRiffer]

Your timing is amazing, I just started listening to Trivium again after a really long time lol

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

I love the .Strandberg - it looks and sounds great!

[@greekos99]

Riffs for absolute days!

[@dannydemonicmusic]

Never disappointed when I visit this channel

[@conhecimento-condicionamento]

Nice tone

[@yvan2218]

A Crisis of Revelation and Like a Sword over Damocles are the best riffs from their recent albums

[@Tybren]

Trivium is a melting pot of so many metal genres. Part of why they're my favorite band.

[@SuperAfrolex]

The comments make me so happy knowing people arent happy with just 12. Theyve got so many tasty riffs

[@nikkmorse]

Never fail to impress pete, loved it 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@ΚώσταςΘεοδοσουλης]

My favourite Trivium riffs are The darkness of my mind , What the dead men say and The Defiant

[@HarryCaneNo1]

Vengeance - their most underrated song imo!!!

[@JamieSlays]

Very cool🎉🎉🎉

[@s.e.n3264]

Absolutely love Trivium! Seen them live multiple times. Not a fan of their current tone. Their song writing just keeps getting better. But the past two albums mixing and their tones just are not what they used to be... 😔

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

All great choices!! Would have loved to hear something from Vengeance Falls, but all good choices regardless!!

[@moogy4851]

Drowning in slow motion should be hereeee

[@theviolence667]

Awesome! And now do one with "Best Trivium Solos"

[@consequenceable]

trivium ❤😊

[@Jdtv689]

This list doesn’t have Into the mouth of hell we march - means it cannot possibly be complete

[@JessesAuditorium]

First time I heard Inception in my cd player, I lost it.

[@DanielKitchka]

I'm simple... I see Pete, I see Trivium, I click Like.

[@Re4P3r_CSGO]

In my opinion Trivium have the bests guitars in The world.

[@MrFightstarter]

I can't believe there not one from Of Prometheus and the Crucifix, wich for me is one of the best metal songs ever writen

[@KevinKoolx]

Difficult to limit to 12! I'll always stan for Trivium. INCEPTION OF THE END that song doesn’t get the credit it deserves!

[@diaryofadjentleman]

Pillars?!

[@MilanRockful]

Throes of perdition 🤘🤘🤘

[@harrydrewz]

Shogun destroys all. Fact

[@LiMiiTzOSRS]

this video really could’ve just been a shogun play through and the title would’ve been bang on still 🤷‍♂️

[@christophercook4819]

You left out forsake not the dream and in the court of the dragon

[@tedd1659]

Insurrection has best riffs out of all Trivium songs.

[@nickmonahan877]

I'm new to guitar plug-ins and was wondering about latency? I bought this suite and have a delay when using the software. It sounds awesome but using it in real time looks to be a problem. I'm using the lowest sampling but at 3ms it is noticable.

[@peteplaysmusic]

You’ll need to lower the buffer size (sometimes referred to as samples) of your interface as much as possible. Which interface are you using? I usually have mine set to 32 or 64 :)

[@TestaBorges]

torn between scylla and charybdis??????? Shogun???????

[@AiiZStudio]

Ahhhhhhhh you missed out my favourite: he who spawned the furies

[@factor-ade]

You could literally make a different video on each album.

[@elensie6897]

Tbf, choosing just 12 is really tough. Theyre such consistent riff machines! For me its probably: 1. Ascendancy (the middle section riff) 2. Rain 3. Insurrection 4. In Waves (later major lift riff) 5. Caustic are the ties that bind (main riff) 6. Entrance of the Conflagration 7. Like Callisto (chorus riff) 8. Tread the floods 9. The crusade (pick any riff) 10. Ember to inferno 11. Strife 12. Shattering the skies Honourable mentions: Built to fall, Throes of Perdition, The deceived, Beyond Oblivion Also new Trivium is still great, but havent spent as much time with it, so the riffs just arent as iconic to me as these ones!

[@Zodicus]

I am shocked you went with Built to Fall rather than Caustic Are The Ties That Bind but to each their own. Also, Shogun's title track got snubbed? Missed opportunity. Bridge and solo section has some of the best riffs in their discography. They do have some fantastic albums, makes it hard to pick.

[@carlosacevedo921]

These are good riffs but definitely not the best 12, there are much moooore!

[@daveataway1952]

The Verse Riff from "Into the mouth of Hell we march", the Pre-Chorus of "At the end of this war", the opening riff of Deadmen, the first AND second verse riff from "Torn between Scylla and Charybdis" How about you just continue the list until you have a video with just every riff they ever wrote?

[@metallixro]

Anybody whos a metalhead but somehow has not heard Trivium yet, go listen to Down From The Sky right now!

[@marcinmendrek6163]

Best riff „Strife”

[@garymiller1998]

You forgot "Strife"!

[@brownpunk1794]

Tuning dude?

[@neffgaming8617]

Suffocating site 😢

[@PS-ky6co]

That one is so insane 🤘

[@neffgaming8617]

But I understand y it's hard rythm wise

[@HA4iHbI4]

Built To Fall - insta dis. I can't get why it so popular...oh, mb becouse it sound like generic poprock song.

[@Zappabain]

Besides 90s At the gates and 2000s Opeth everything seems cheap or unmusical to me.

[@foolofdamnation]

yet you're here!

[@champion6534]

Yo just in time cuz trivium is my favorite band

[@mat.tia.mmazzo94]

Forsake not the dream? 😢😢

[@That_Derpy_Dude]

My favorite 3 riffs to play is Built To Fall. Shattering The Skies Above . And Entrance to The Conflagration
