Trivium - The Phalanx [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@Hammersmashed68]

I've been following Trivium since "Ascendancy". Their tenacity and hard work with constantly putting out amazing material, album after album is something that I admire so much. When other bands would seem burnt out putting out new albums more frequently than others, Trivium sound like they're only getting stronger and have more energy and brain power to reinvent themselves and put out the best material possible.

[@Mavvyd96]

Trivium are one of the only bands that has constantly changed their sound but still is consistent in ways and very eager to put out albums. They've been around for a little over 20 years but have been putting out an album nearly every 2 years. Proud of these guys.

[@Hammersmashed68]

Some of the songs are great, like Down from the sky, or the 1st track(I don't remember the name because that album insisted on having almost all of the song's names be longass & strange titles, as well as most of the songs being too long), but also most of the songs on Shogun hopped around too much with seemingly little to no real structure of the song, like Oh this riff sounds cool, so let's add that but only for like 20 seconds tops and then throw it back in randomly, 7 & ½ minutes into the song! 😂 They just didn't sound as epic, structured, memorable or straightforward as they did on Ascendancy, which IMO is their best album! Ascendancy also had better melody. And it had big hits like Dying in Your Arms, Ascendancy, Washing Away Me In The Tides, Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr (a bit long of a title, but rhymes & is interesting & fairly easy to remember), Like Light To Flies, oh and an amazing cover of Metallica's Master of Puppets! 👍 (on the Delux edition) maybe give that album another go.
