Trivium - Requiem

Ember to Inferno is the debut album from American heavy metal band Trivium. It was released on October 14, 2003 on Lifeforce Records.
-- Lyrics --
How can you just stand there and stare
The world burns alight the air
Fire of passion ignite
Open yourselves to fight
To reinforce the will
Deafening call to kill
The structure of
Archetype
Abhorrence
To collapse all I've learned
To absorb with open eyes to see this
Revelation new serenity
Destruction disharmony
To see this
I'll wait for you
To rise from this dream
I will be waiting for you
To rise from this
Gazing at twilights end
Arms raised chant extol
If our world ended today would you suffer
Or just sit there awaiting damnation

It's amazing to think that Matt wrote, played both the guitar parts including solos and screamed in such a way on this album when he was only 16

Stephen Sturgis You are triggered.

God, this is fucking GOLD. This is just a masterpiece.

This will always be my favorite Trivium song,... Ever!

[@marwilozada21]

This was my first Trivium song, and it totally got me into it. Still I am, and I'll always be thankfull to the boy who introduces me into this glorious band when I was 13.

[@inyourfacestudios101]

Such an emotional yet heavy song. One of my favourite Trivium tracks

[@dianthis]

My boyfriend introduced me to this band 13 years ago and this song in particular still slays me every time.🤟

3:18 OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@rittis013]

Sounds very In Flames

[@younesnadim8138]

Precisely. The main riff sounds like the riff from Pinball Map by In Flames.

[@romanthegambler6966]

@@younesnadim8138 check out ceremonial oath - dreamsong, it surely will pick your attention

[@EricJaegerMusic]

They have added this to their current setlist

[@stokesa3122]

I'm glad you included lyrics. I always thought the pre-chorus contained the phrase "live a lot" and that always bothered me and now I see that it doesn't and it makes listening to this one so much better.

My fav Trivium song 🎵

00:00 THIS is how you drop a bass

[@benbowden7321]

So glad I got back into the gym, purely for all the music I’ve rediscovered

[@heelgill]

How'd you rediscover this song? Was the gym playing this song? Did you bust out some old CDs while lifting dumbbells at home? Came across an old gym playlist?

[@methhardy4622]

That intro... holy fuck

[@Scorpionbite8]

Cool song

[@eyeeerie]

💖💖💖

[@KevinTheMetalhead]

Lol the beginning riff of All That Remains' Six sounds like the main riff of this song

[@robertocahuevos23]

This song is more old that six

[@jessepusatero5511]

That breakdown...

[@FrankshredZ]

Fuck. Yes.

[@AlishaWolfe]

HOW CAN YOU JUST STAND THERE AND STARE.

Shoutouts to Guilty Gear's Writhe in Pain at 2:28

[@Curmudgeonistic]

I think I like that tremelo "picked" riff AFTER the solo more than I like the sooooo itself lol

[@Curmudgeonistic]

There was never any point in adding quotation points!! Dumbass...

[@KevinTheMetalhead]

Lol you could've just edited your comment

[@AstorMOrtiz]

@@KevinTheMetalhead he likes to criticise himself in public

[@metalmaniacx79]

Yeah. It sounds like black metal.

[@memoire-30jm09]

Would've been amazing if they included this track on Ascendancy. This track is 🔥

[@maxymaldonado5197]

Alguien de Formosa Argentina? Q escuche trivium!!

[@AstorMOrtiz]

No de Formosa pero si de Argentina, muy buena banda, la conocía hace rato pero ahora la estoy descubriendo mas

[@robertocahuevos23]

My tono de llamada xD

[@christianrenteriadelafuent2786]

yeaaaaa

[@jairolopez9734]

the riff at 2:27 , think that's cool? do yourself and look up Guilty Gear X - Write in Pain, it's a song from a video game, just listen and wait for it.. you'll recognize the thievery once you hear it

[@jake120007]

you know this song was written in 2003 right?

[@jake120007]

I was unaware, I was under the assumption that you like my friend thought this was a new song when they reposted it, no need for name calling.

[@jairolopez9734]

Big NACL ok my bad, thought you were coming at me sideways

[@jake120007]

understandable the internet is a hostile place

[@jairolopez9734]

Big NACL that it is.

[@ivenrom4372]

да будьте здоровы здоровский трек

[@amyleetasticobsesseddiehar1994]

awesome song. this is actually played in standard tuning.

[@TheJimmyp427]

i hate playing down tuned. And its completely unnecessary. a lot of lamb of gods heaviest riffs are just drop d

[@amyleetasticobsesseddiehar1994]

that's cool. i will only down tune the 6th string to a D. It's a pain in the ass to drop all the strings to Drop Db, Drop C or lower. then it begins to sound like shit. how the fuck does slipknot or other bands like to play in that?

[@TheJimmyp427]

+SONIC it helps to have thicker gauged strings. slipknot might just buy a set for 7 a string guitar and use the B as the E and so on

[@amyleetasticobsesseddiehar1994]

Cool. I never knew that and if I were to do that, I would buy another guitar just for the purpose of playing in low tuning like Drop Db all the way down to Drop G. Some bands like Staind have songs in Drop G. That's crazy. Also are you saying that slipknot uses a 7 string guitar? That's cool. I've only owned 6 string guitars. I know someone from high school though that has a 12 string guitar.

[@TheJimmyp427]

+SONIC i dont think they use 7 string guitars. it would just make sense to use a set of strings for a 7 string if your dropping down as far as g.

[@peymanmarufi8034]

Still no one can replace Travis. Man Alex exaggerates in a way that does not suit the songs. TRAVIS UNDERSTANDS THE FEELINGS MORE

[@andreaseverin1346]

He's been guilty of that on The Sin and the Sentence, but he's gotten so much better on the later albums. Funnily enough Sin is still my top Trivium album

[@tiohyde3790]

simillar to writhe in pain from guilty gear series

[@dzamija922]

Why does this kick ass so much more than the new song? Am I just a nostalgic piece of shit?

[@psychosemantics]

sounds pretty bullet

[@Jaikay1]

+George Baev Bullet sound like Trivium :P

[@psychosemantics]

Jaikay1 It's interchangeable

[@lugalkien3599]

This album was released 3 years before Bullet's first album

[@psychosemantics]

It doesn't matter which came first they are similar that's my point,bullet might have been influenced

[@Jaikay1]

George Baev Yeahh agreed. People will argue til they're blue in the face over this - but it doesn't reallllyyy matter. I'd say BFMV were possibly influenced by Trivium, but they may well not have been - BFMV might've formed earlier, written and gigged earlier for all we know - like Guns N Roses, they toured and gigged for years before releasing anything

[@arkonraavus21]

I want to like this album, but I can't

[@raulgonzalez6541]

lol

[@morgan2488]

Keep trying, because you're missing out on an amazing album

[@ayberkbilgin9677]

demo version is much better

[@Revener666]

Meh annoying with bands that are both good bad at the same time. They can write good music but keeps ruin the songs with crap that should not be there. :/

[@TheRoughneck80]

Love to see you write better music at the age of 15.

[@Revener666]

@@TheRoughneck80 had 2 bandmembers at the age of 14 when we started our band 1997 one of them was very good at writing music. Me I was just the singer and the only instrument I could play was the organ. :) Either way, remove the clean sung parts and this song is very good. When it comes to mixing clean+scream vocals Dark Tranquility does it best. Change of style to sound like US bands is also why In Flames turned to shit.

[@Monstermash355]

@@Revener666 Blablabla, where your vids at bro? We smell a lot of little bitch in here yet we've yet to hear what you wrote at 14 or 15.
