TRIVIUM - RIFF EVOLUTION (2022) Riffs From Every Album Since 2003 (Ember to Inferno)

[@aserpentshandofficial]

I love the fact you picked songs that aren’t the popular ones from the records cause they have such amazing songs that are overshadowed

[@jasont1234]

well he did put until the world goes cold there but everything else yessir

[@myDADisTOUGH]

@@jasont1234 Wasn't detonation a single for the crusade as well?

[@The73rdSecret]

I guess Kirisute Gomen is a single of Shogun

[@nonesoherpetological8974]

It shows he listens to Trivium hella.

[@atvena]

@@The73rdSecret Kiristue gomen was the opening track but never a single only down from the sky and throes of perdition were from shogun

This band is the best metalcore and most stable guitar riffs characteristic

[@thelittleowl1]

I wouldn’t really say they are metalcore anymore. More thrash mixed with heavy metal then anything else.

[@SuperPyrusMaster]

@@thelittleowl1 nah brother they're still as metalcore as it gets

[@thelittleowl1]

@@SuperPyrusMaster their last 5 albums are not metalcore. Metalcore influenced thrash and heavy metal at most.

[@SuperPyrusMaster]

@@thelittleowl1 heavy metal 💀 whatever you say

[@thelittleowl1]

@@SuperPyrusMaster I would say that they are really lacking in metalcore elements now. Heavy metal is the best word to describe them. NWOAHM is also appropriate. Not dissing them, I love the band.

Like any good band, they have like 1-3 good songs in an album. That's great.

The Crusade is mediocre in my opinion Shogun is my all time favourite

[@AnimeAjay]

This video made me feel ancient. I remember every one of these albums releasing 😭 what a band

[@CHOEYGMUSIC]

So many insane riffs... probably the bests riffs overall from any band (my opinion). You rocked these brother! Respect!

[@ThomasHogue]

Hell yeah! Thank you

[@luukhoogland1431]

Trivium and Lamb of God are huge riff machines delivering great albums showing that sound can evolve while still staying heavy as ever.

[@declanbarhu7457]

@@luukhoogland1431 Opeth can put 20 riffs in 1 song.

[@DarrenHeywood]

@@declanbarhu7457 true, but they also have the advantage of long songs. Gives them more time to squeeze in those epic riffs. 😂

[@xRhychux]

My favorite riffs come from Marc Okubo of VoM but Trivium riffs have always been so solid

[@RG049]

Please do a video like this one for Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti is a riff machine.

[@alexanderh2715]

Alter Bridge - Still Remains at the 2:40 min mark always gets me :D so good. Saw them live for the blackbird tour and later ab III tour and both concerts were so good. Starting with come to life guarantees attention from the first second onwards :D

[@RG049]

@@alexanderh2715 Totally agree brother. That riff always gets me too. He has a sick right hand and he has written many amazing galloping-like metal riffs (including his solo band). Can't ignore his awesome fingerpicking riffs too. He's easily one of the best guitarists of 2000s.

[@KT559]

He could honestly do a whole hour-long or longer video on all of Mark's work from Creed, AB, and Tremonti.

[@jacobnussbaum53]

It was 2019 - I heard Pillars of Serpents for the very first time on Pandora radio. Needless to say I immediately went through all of Trivium’s discography. Good stuff man - thank you for this!

[@Budood1]

From Ember To Inferno is such an incredible album, gonna have to listen to it again!

[@Leoprates]

Loved that you didn't chose all common songs! Great video!

[@nicholaslandolt8912]

Hell yea!! Been waiting for this one!! Trivium is the reason I started playing!

[@The73rdSecret]

Fugue is a blast of a song! Ember to Inferno and Ascendancy are my fav Trivium albums

[@Nidstang_]

Such an amazing band. Every album is incredible. Ember To Inferno is absolutely underrated.

[@jackcarver1000]

Such an amazing and versatile band. I remember their august 2017 show. Finally got to experience one of my favourite songs, Kirisute Gomen, live. They also played TSATS before the album release, epic show

Breakdowns are still very appreciated from me but yeah I get you.

[@ssmetalrulz]

This was awesome to watch ! Great playing and great tone brother !

[@ThomasHogue]

Thank you!

[@AlexeiMikhailBoleslav]

In my personal opinion, Trivium nailed what "their" sound was on In Waves. Nobody else sounded like that at the time, and whether you liked them or hated them, you had to respect them. They were absolute giants in the industry at the time as well

[@jonkerrmusic]

Excellent song selections!

[@ShapeshiftedCow]

I’ve long been of the opinion that they peaked at Shogun and stopped paying much attention after In Waves, but that bit from Beyond Oblivion was pretty sick and the last two songs you chose weren’t half bad either. Probably would never have heard those songs without watching this video. Great content, keep it up man.

[@ThomasHogue]

[@nightslayer23]

even tho i dont listing to them alot i like that trivium keeps the kinda oldschool ish metalcore genre and not switching to the new metalcore so a headbang to them

[@whyisyes3957]

I mean they have changed quite a bit, but more in the direction of prog/thrash/melodeath elements, basically diluting the metalcore sound with other influences

[@emilsn91]

Listening to these ten 10 songs in this way gave me the feeling that their riffs did not change much until around The Sin & The Sentence. But from there until now sounds different and better imo. Interesting listen. 👍

How would y'all rank each album? My ranking is: 1. Shogun 2. In The Court of the Dragon 3. Ascendancy 4. In Waves 5. What the Dead Men Say 6. The Sin and the Sentence 7. The Crusade 8. Vengeance Falls 9. Ember to Inferno 10. Silence in the Snow Really, the bottom 2 are the only duds for me.
