 (69 Customer Reviews)
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 the coveted metal music crown from the very artists that inspired them to play. With the collaboration of co-producer and engineer Jason Suecof, the band pushes their thrashy verse/hooky chorus stylings to even greater melodic heights. Strong vocals, syncopated rhythms, and shredding solos capture lightning in a bottle in the ambitious spirit of a modern-day amalgam of early Metallica and Testament.
Trivium: Matt Heafy, Travis Smith, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto.
Rolling Stone (p.133) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n biting speed-metal tracks like 'Ignition' and 'Detonation,' they seem like one of the few contemporary metal bands that matter."
Alternative Press (p.196) - "Trivium plays metal as if it were arcane wizardry, mastered only through years of toiling over multitudes of dusty old Metallica picture discs and cassettes of obscure '80s Bay Area techno-thrash bands."
CMJ (p.23) - "Mixing intricate thrash with melodic, almost Swedish-sounding choruses, THE CRUSADE is a war Trivium might just win."
Kerrang (Magazine) (pp.54-55) - "There are some stunning moments -- 'Entrance Of The Conflagration' unleashes a face-battering cavalcade of pummeling riff rancor..." Purchase Crusade CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Alice In Chains Dirt CD (1992)

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Crusade
$6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close ...
| | Trivium Ember To Inferno CD (2003)
Crusade
$10.69
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 ...
| | Trivium Ascendancy CD (2005)
Crusade
$13.85
In Trivium's band photo for ASCENDANCY, the four members sport t-shirts from (early) Metallica, Overkill, Guns N' Roses, and black-metal legends Darkthrone. The odd thing is that no one in the group is old enough to have experienced any of the first three bands in their 1980s glory. This doesn't seem to adversely affect Trivium's sound, however, as the band has clearly done its homework.
Riding the wave of bands like Shadows Fall and labelmates Killswitch Engage, Trivium bring together the speed of thrash, the melody of classic metal, and the aggression of hardcore in one seamless package. ...

Crusade
$18.59
In the early '80s, a style of heavy metal was fast rising, in which groups sang about (and even to a point, dressed like) characters from an era long ago, in which gentlemen dressed in armor, and saved damsels in distress in tall castles. While some of these groups built a long-term career (Dio, Iron Maiden, etc.), many fell by the wayside as the style faded away, and was replaced by thrash and glam metal acts. By the early '90s, some of the music from these earlier bands could be detected in such new acts as Dream Theater and Iced Earth, who also pushed the 'technicality' of their music up a notch. Fast-forward another ten years to the early 2000s, and there is a new crop of bands that combine both of these metal eras together, especially by the prog metal "supergroup" Demons & Wizards. Comprised of Iced Earth's Jon Schaffer and Blind Guardian's Hansi Kürsch, the duo issued their second album in 2005, Touched by the Crimson King. Picture a modern metal soundtrack accompanying a triumphant ride through a forest on horseback, ...
| | Vorpal Digressions CD (2006) (Import) Canada
Crusade
$15.59
Digressions is the second installment in the further adventures in glitch-hop from the manic madman known as Vorpal. Intact from his first collection The Incomplete Guide to Vorpal Music is his whimsical and adept talent at plunderphonics; many a loop is composed of a sample that resides just outside the mind's ability to consciously recognize it (and the inevitable copyright infringement). Also intact ...
| | Chinbat Batmunkh Immortality CD (2007)
Crusade
$15.19
Chinbaa's "Immortality" is a collection of compelling original music that seemlessly blends the ethnicity of his Mongolian roots with comtemporary American Jazz/Rock/Fusion. "Immortality" spans various musical palletes that range from an agressive and powerful Art-Rock to an emotionally relaxing Smooth Jazz, while a few of the compositions borrow from 18th century classics that are arranged in a hip contemporary fashion.Chinbaa was born in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia, 1977, Virgo to two musicians, Batmunkh and Tserendulam. He was their first son. Famous performers with the National Folk Music Orchestra in Mongolia, Chinbaa's mother and father both received the Grand Prize for their particular instrument in the first annual National Mongolian Folk Music competition. Growing up in a house of musicians, Chinbaa's love of music began when he was very young. Throughout his early years he was fortunate enough to be trained by Mongolia's top composers and musicians, some of whom just happened to be friends of his talented family. In 1998 at the beginning of Chinbaa's freshman year of college, he was approached to play keyboards for an already established rock band in Mongolia-"Niciton". Until then, Chinbat had really only been exposed to classical and Mongolian folk music and by agreeing to join the band took his first step towards the rock and pop industry. Niciton was very successful producing three CD's and touring across Mongolia and Asia. They were awarded "Best Performance" from Mongolia's largest rock/pop festival-"Pentatonic". They also received such awards as "Best arrangement", "Best sound engineer", and "Viewer's Choice" at the "Voice of Asia" International Festival. After an internationally acclaimed 5 year run with Niciton, Chinbaa set out on his own as a producer/artist and ...
