Lyrics:
shattering the skies above
take me into the seas
so I can clean off this disease
death will complete me
it's what I need
take my evil to the skies
take my evil; all light dies
shattering the skies above
I want to destroy all that you love
shattering the skies above
I won't rest till I am drenched in blood
#Trivium #ShatteringTheSkiesAbove #InWaves

[@chaos8585]

It's funny how so many people don't know that Matt is a huge fan of video games, and that this song was written specifically for God of War III. I think it fits perfectly.

[@Feercholain]

@Jhoel Ortega He's telling you that the song was written for GOW3, it doesn't matter what Matt is playing on the video!

[@xlordamber]

@Jhoel Ortega Yeah, t'was released on a God Of War 3 special album called Blood & Metal Track Listing Killswitch Engage - My Obsession Trivium - Shattering the Skies Above Dream Theater - Raw Dog (Instrumental) Taking Dawn - This is Madness Opeth - The Throat of Winter Mutiny Within - The End The Turtlenecks - Even Gods Cry

[@VAPINGGEEK]

it was written for the HD collection i think! a great fucking song tho

[@L4Disillusion]

Fucking yes it does. In fact this song is the times more epic than that game lol!!

[@The_JustJoshing]

The lyrics in the booklet of ascendancy are in the same font that the original God Of War guide is in.

[@corekidkyle7028]

Matt’s screams during the In Waves era were just blistering!

[@justmyluck7644]

His screaming during that era was amazing. Id call it the highlight of his career

[@soulflybrazil]

it was throat cutting for sure he almost lost his voice bc of that glad he can still scream and not damage himself at the same time

[@al3xxx693r]

I remember when this song was released, I was like 14 still playing RuneScape and a friend on there told me to listen to it. 10 years on I have a career and am getting married in 2 months - But I still love this song! Crazy how things change but stay the same. :)

I found it in 2020 during the pandemic, if I don’t listen to it daily, I feel like I haven’t don’t anything productive.

[@DxTrixterz]

@@r3ap3r68 and the best thing is that lyrics basically repeat themselves so it's really easy to memorize.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

It’s a bit repetitive. I remember when it first came out thinking the chorus is repeated non stop and it gets old. If you didn’t know the name of the song when it started, you know by the end that’s for sure

[@KameWeeb]

And the best part: this was written for the God of War: Blood and Metal EP released as DLC for God of War III!

[@Gravetacular]

It's ageing like fine wine 🤙

[@toothless7053]

As a fan of the God of War game series, I was really suprised to find out that Roadrunner had actually made a six song tributory EP for GOW 3. When I first heard this song, the EP's 2nd track, I immediately liked the song's structure. Hard and heavy, yet also calm and cool. Awesome song.

[@rininimoo]

I dont know about anyone else, but they have always seemed to me like people you would want to hang out with. They seem to do such an amazing job of being a band you can relate to and hear from individually. Not only is their music beyond amazing, they seem to be just as awesome themselves. Thanks Trivium. You are all fantastic. Cant wait to see your show!

[@keptinsidetheband]

This song has all you can like in Metal, blast on the drums, powerful chorus, shred, scream, harmonies. A fucking good song

[@viniciusgmachado1204]

Really? Hmm… 🤔🙂

[@MetalBaller83]

I discovered Trivium during the Ascendancy days, so I’m one of those folks that really isn’t a fan of the In Waves era. THAT BEING SAID: This song is fucking KILLER. Nick’s grooves on this one are so smooth yet brutal. He did amazing on this one, and that pre-pre-chorus riff is pure thrash awesomeness.

[@joshnizzle]

I agree, found them at their debut. However the new album is pretty damn good

[@thqueenofhellfire666]

[@azdarkforce]

I came to listen to this unique song, because this with each subsequent album made with Nick, it became clearer to me that Trivium song like this will never happen again... And so I applaud this piece of aggression undiminished by melody. Don't get me wrong not crying about direction Trivium is taking, just trying to appreciate what seems to be and to be for all eternity Trivium with extreme metal drumming.

[@tjmess00]

A lot of singers of this type of music try and ween themselves off of it after a certain amount of time. Constantly singing like that has to be absolute murder on the vocal chords and eventually you just can't do it anymore without causing permanent damage. Where that limit is is different for each person but you can't sing metalcore forever. That's why ASX switched up their styles, cause Shadows wouldnt be able to keep singing like that and keep his voice intact.

[@azdarkforce]

Tommy Messina you seem to have missed the point of my post - extreme metal drumming. Yes, Matt is clearly leaning towards clean vocals, but my post was more about what a great song this is.

Absolutely if you're filled with rage heavy metal burns it to ash and then you're mellow it's healthy stress relief and we listen to metal for the MUSIC the instruments is what we're attracted to the singing and lyrics are secondary and if you're Educated you know metal composition is remarkably similar to classical so those of us who Rock simply appreciate REAL MUSIC
