Trivium includes: Matt Heafy (vocals, guitar); Brent Young (bass); Travis Smith (drums).
Recorded at Audio Hammer Studios, Sanford, Florida between June & July 2003.
In the alternative metal field, there are plenty of bands offering a heaven/hell and melody/brutality sort of contrast -- bands that include, among many others, Hopesfall, From Autumn to Ashes, and the Postman Syndrome. One minute, they're being brutally ferocious; the next minute, they lighten the load and become more melodic. And that is exactly the type of approach that Trivium favors on Ember to Inferno. Throughout this CD, the Florida trio's 2003 lineup -- Matt Heafy on lead vocals and guitar, Brent Young on bass, and Travis Smith on drums -- fluctuates between metalcore ferocity and something more forgiving. Typically, a Trivium song will go from metalcore harshness -- suffocating density, sledgehammer cruelty, screaming vocals -- to a more melodic style of power metal/fantasy metal. It's as though you're getting Brick Bath one minute, and Iron Maiden or Queensr˙che the next; there's enough of the hardcore element to make the disc relevant to 21st century alt-metal, which prevents Trivium from sounding retro, but there's enough power metal to give the listener some breathing room. In other words, Trivium fluctuates between using a nasty, flesh-tearing bullwhip on their listeners, and employing a soft, leather flogger that has a milder sort of sting. It's an appealing approach -- at least if you hold metal core and power metal/fantasy metal in equally high regard -- but not a unique one. Again, many other alt-metal and metalcore bands were doing this type of thing when Ember to Inferno was recorded in 2003; some did it better, and some not as well. After a few tracks, Ember to Inferno begins to sound predictable and formulaic; you know that the hammer-to-the-skull assault will inevitably follow a melodic passage, and vice-versa. Nonetheless, headbangers will find Ember to Inferno to be a likable and competent, if less than distinctive, example of alt-metal's good cop/bad cop juxtaposition. ~ Alex Henderson Ember To Inferno Music Review Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews AN INFERNO BURNING IN YOUR SOUL
THE MUSICAL ARTISTRY OF THIS ALBUM ONLY LEAVES YOU EXPECTING THE NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION OF A BAND THAT CAN AND WILL PRODUCE THE MOST PASSIONATE HEAVY METAL MUSIC YOU HAVE EVER HEARD. THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION OPEN WIDE FROM THE BEGINNING INTRO TO THE LAST SONG. TRIVIUM HAS COMBINED ELEMENTS OF OLD SCHOOL THRASH WITH EURO DEATH METAL IN AN INFERNO OF PROGRESSIVE UNRELENTING METAL. 10 STARS OUT OF 5 FOR ME.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Awesome debut for an awesome band
Trivum is one of the best commercial metal bands out there right now. This is their debut album, when they were underground, and one listen is enough to see why roadrunner signed them up. The riffs r much heavyier in ETI, and the bass is different (its a different bassist to paulo). However the solos could use some improvement, and the attempts at hooks in the clean singing r nt as catchy as on ascendancy, but this is their 1st album, and Heafy was 16 when he wrote most of these songs, so u have to cut him some slack. All in all its an awesome album, fav songs r Pillar Of Serpents, Fugue, and Falling To Grey (but my all time fav is Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation, on Ascendancy). Awesome album, triviums 2nd best, i give it 4 and a half stars. If u lyk trivum check out Daysend, they r an awesome aussie band in need of some serious support, i hear KsE, Trivum, and a lil Lamb Of God, but their style is their own, and they r fresh and original. And underated nxt to the less talented Parkway Drive and I Killed The Prom Queen, who have the international recognition that Daysend r much more disserving of. Plz check them out and give the best aussie metalcore band ur support.

Purchase Ember To Inferno CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Ember To Inferno
 $6.39   
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the spring of 2002, a year and a half after "In Blue" and its accompanying single "Breathless" broke down the doors in America for the U.S. Only two songs on this set list are shared ...
| | As I Lay Dying Frail Words Collaspe CD (2003)
Ember To Inferno
$9.79
As I Lay Dying: Tim Lambesis (vocals); Evan White, Jasun Krebs (guitar); Aaron Kennedy (bass); Jordan Mancino (drums).
Recorded in February 2003.
Personnel: Tim Lambesis (vocals); Evan White (guitar).
Audio Mixer: Steve Russell.
Recording information: Big Fish Studio (02/2003).
As I Lay Dying is one of many, many bands to throw their hat into the Swedish-influenced metal-hardcore ring in the early 2000s, joining fellow metal-label signees as God Forbid and Shadows Fall (Century Media) and Killswitch Engage (Roadrunner). Frail Words Collapse is a solid example of its genre, carrying the stereotypical hallmarks of harmonized dual-guitar riffing (often reminiscent of In Flames or Iron Maiden), heavy double-bass drumming, and roaring vocals that occasionally slip into a melodic, clean-voiced emo style. There are also a few more dissonant, "technical" passages that nod toward Converge and their ilk. The songs here are solid enough and well executed, and the ...
| | All That Remains This Darkened Heart CD (2004)
Ember To Inferno
$9.85
2nd Rel.Feat. Philip Labonte- Lead Singer From Shadows Fall.
All That Remains: Phillip Labonte (vocals); Oli Herbert (acoustic & electric guitar); Mike Martin (guitar); Matt Deis (piano, bass); Michael Bartlett (drums).
Recorded at Zing Studios, Westfield, Massachussetts, between October 1 & 22, 2003.
Personnel: Philip Labonte (vocals); Oli Herbert (guitar, acoustic guitar); Mike Martin (guitar); Matt Deis (piano, bass guitar); Michael Bartlett (drums).
Audio Mixer: Adam Dutkiewicz.
Recording information: Zing Studios, Westfield, MA (10/01/2003-10/22/2003).
Arrangers: Adam Dutkiewicz; All That Remains.
Judging from just the first song on This Darkened Heart, one is tempted to immediately rank All That Remains among the top tier of current Swedish-influenced American hardcore-metal bands (and there are a lot of them). The dual-guitar interplay of Oli Herbert and Mike Martin is intricate and impressive, and their classically tinged riff-writing ...
| | Trivium Ascendancy CD (2005)
Ember To Inferno
$13.85
Trivium: Paolo Gregoletto (bass guitar); Travis Smith, Matthew K. Heafy, Corey Beaulieu.
Personnel: Matthew K. Heafy (vocals, guitar); Travis Smith (vocals, drums, percussion); Chad Sunderland, Gizz Butt, Andy Sneap (vocals); Corey Beaulieu (guitar, background vocals); Paolo Gregoletto (background vocals).
Audio Mixer: Andy Sneap.
Recording information: Audiohammer Studios, Sanford, FL; Morrisound Recordings, Tampa, FL.
Photographer: Josh Rothstein.
Trivium has only grown stronger since 2003's Ember to Inferno. That album's mix of classic thrash (early Metallica) with 21st century metalcore rage and progressive metal flourish still roils here. But Ascendancy's fire is more ferocious and its transitions more confident, which means the band is even more dedicated to its clever throwback sound. ...
| | Mudvayne Lost And Found CD (2005)
Ember To Inferno
$8.99
Mudvayne: Chad Gray (vocals); Greg Tribbett (guitar); Ryan Martinie (bass guitar); Matt McDonough (drums).
It's been three years for Mudvayne, three years when metal started to reject its "rap" and "nu" prefixes. At first, Lost and Found reflects that realignment. Vocalist Chad Gray and his mates have nixed the nicknames and makeup for their third Epic full-length, and they try to focus on songs instead of heavy music shtick. However, they equate getting real with the melodramatic plead that interrupts the razor-sharp main part of "Choices," and Gray can't overcome lines like "IMN"'s "No one/No one could ever understand/This life." The song is about suicide, which is very serious. But yelling "F*ck this sh*t!" over thudding rhythms just isn't very powerful anymore. They nail it on opener "Determined" -- one of Mudvayne's all-time strongest tracks, it's a fist-swinging blast of modernized thrash. But Lost and Found soon falls into the familiar, busting no-one-understands-me lyrics and matching moments of refreshing rawness to stretches ...

Trivium: Matt Heafy, Travis Smith, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto.
Trivium brought the heavy music scene to its knees with the brilliance of 2005's ASCENDENCY. Aggressive touring helped them to build a rabid following and honed the band's already fierce chops. The progression of CRUSADE showcases a young group poised to inherit ...

| | Oscar Peterson Jazz Portrait Of Frank Sinatra CD (1959) Reissue; Remastered; Digipak
Ember To Inferno
$8.29
Personnel: Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown (bass); Ed Thigpen (drums).
Recorded in Paris, France on May 18, 1959.
Oscar Peterson: Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown (bass instrument); Ed Thigpen (drums).
Pianist Oscar Peterson's Frank Sinatra tribute features his trio (with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) playing easy listening jazz versions of a dozen songs associated with the singer. The renditions are all under four minutes and are highlighted by "Come Dance with Me," "Just in Time," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and "How About You?" This is not one of Oscar Peterson's most essential dates, but it is swinging and enjoyable. ~ Scott Yanow
Master pianist Oscar Peterson works the ivories in typically impressive fashion on this 1959 tribute to Frank Sinatra. Performing with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, Peterson runs through 12 instrumental versions of songs made popular by Ol' Blue Eyes, including, naturally, faithful renditions of Sinatra signatures "Witchcraft" and "I Get a Kick Out of You."
Though the trio takes a swinging, intensely jazzy approach to these tunes, there is no excessive stretching out here--each cut clocks in at less than four minutes. Likewise, Peterson, Brown, and Thigpen color strictly inside the lines here, keeping things highly melodic, laid-back, and elegant. This is music more appropriate to a candlelit dinner than ...
