Saw them back in 05 at the metro in chicago, it is a small but famous venue, way overpacked.. everyone went hard as they played the classics( but new back then) tread the flood, to the rats and people(including me) went nuts got soo bad I went snow blind from being to dehydrated..but this song is the best since the first two albums..

[@Erick.Peixoto]

if anyone ever calls this band metalcore then they are objetively wrong, they're this strange kind of progressive metal that is simple enough for a normal listener but have enough depth for someone that wants something different, they are probably one of the most unique sounding bands i have ever heard

I've been listening to Trivium since 2005, i never gave up on them through their roughest times. The wait was well worth it. The band is literally tearing through the ranks and im so glad i can live in an age to listen to this masterpiece. Thank you Trivium for blessing us with eargasms. The band and the crew deserve nothing but the best. Love you guys!

I remember Matt during the crusade days, album was amazing but that's when he was trying to do more clean vocals and boy was it rough live. He stuck with it and he sounds amazing live.

[@magnuslikestanks6044]

The Sin And The Sentence was incredible. What The Dead Men Say was, in my opinion, even more incredible. And somehow, In The Court Of The Dragon is looking like it might be even more incredible than that, and one of their best albums ever. This band is unreal. I am beyond hyped.

@@LiMiiTzOSRS this song the phalanx i heard is an unreleased unfinished song that they put off till now, this album kinda has shogun vibes and I’m here for it

[@jamesmiranda1449]

@@LiMiiTzOSRS Shogun is way overrated. 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. It's much easier & more fun to get through the whole thing than Shogun IMO.

I went on strike after silence. I’ve seen them 18 times and it was about 3-4 years between time 17 and 18. I thought they were done being metal gods on silence. Everything after in waves was a let down in comparison to the previous album and in waves was a let down in comparison to shogun. But it did have caustic. Heard about another god damn new drummer, saw the sin and the sentence video and became excited for trivium again. They are god like again and god damn I can’t wait until next Friday.
