| | Trivium Ascendancy CD Trivium Discography of CDs
 (55 Customer Reviews)
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. Founder and guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy uses metal-core screams, James Hetfield-esque growls and sing-along melodies to carry the title track. In the first few bars, "Departure" changes style from acoustic strumming to thrash riffs to full death-metal rage, while "Rain" takes a great opening riff and makes it even better with a subtle and unexpected harmonic shift. Showing maturity beyond his 19 years, Heafy crafts songs packed with power, precision, solos, and hooks.
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.
Trivium: Matthew K. Heafy (vocals, guitar); Corey Beaulieu (guitar, background vocals); Paolo Gregoletto (bass guitar, background vocals); Travis Smith (drums, percussion).

Man, the first time I heard the album, I thought, ehh okay, but the next time I listened to it, it was totally different and fantastic! They got amazing talent, especially for a group of young artists. Well organized and I'll be ordering the first album soon, to here more of Trivium

Best Metal Album of '05
Trivium offers up a Hell of a second album (and mainstream debut) right up there with the metal masters. These cats might be young, but they play with a confidence and tightness that sounds ageless. From the superb intro (talk about some eerie such and such) to the last track, the whole album really is virtually flawless. Heafy transistions well from singing to screaming (and not that bitchy emo screaming like Linkin Park or any other so-called "rock" or "emo" band on the Top 40) and Beaulieu rips some of the best solos on any recent recording. Brutal, nasty metal with a precise execution that, nowadays, is almost impossible to match.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Listening
This album, though softer than their previous music, contains the same stellar riffs and oddly harmonic vocals. It is an amazing album, and the title 'The Next Metallica' may very well be fitting for these young stars.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Good Stuff!
this is the Trivium thats awesome...i dont know what the singer was thinking for the new CD the Crusade...i previewed some of the songs and hes trying to sound like metallica singer with no screaming at all, and he doesnt sing that good high pitched singing he does on this CD...very disappointing to see this perfect CD and be expecting similar things in the future and get a totally different sound...but this CD is an awesome CD from start to finish definately!!

Ascendancy
 $6.79  
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 to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than ...

Drummer Matt McDonough and bassist Ryan Martinie play as if they are the same person, tossing off impossibly complex lock-step riffs ("Determined," "Just") like most bands hit an open E chord. On "Happy?" and "Fall into Sleep," singer Chad Gray moves from a throat-shredding rasp to sweet melodicism at the drop of a hat, taking angst-filled lyrics to new heights of dark obsession. Luckily, despite the inherent negativity of ...

Ascendancy
$17.75
John Butcher13 Friendly NumbersJohn Butcher appeared on six records, beginning with the 1984 LP "Fonetiks, before he first released "Thirteen Friendly Numbers" on his own Acta label in 1992. But the disc is still something of a debut; it is the first document of his peculiar language for solo saxophone, which he had fashioned by purging his vocabulary of the instrument's familiar sounds and jazz-associated gestures, and filling the space with carefully selected sounds located at the periphery of instrumental control. Butcher's inspirations were as singular as his sounds. In musique concrete, he explains, "the actual source of the sound could change quite drastically within the course of a phrase of the music, and I was intrigued with trying to find ways of doing that on the saxophone." In "The Brittle Chance," for example, Butcher replicates the dynamic and textural shifts of 50s and 60s electronic music by nimbly switching between multiphonics and fluttering, high-frequency tones. "Notelet" unveils his determination to wring something new from that ancient device, melody, by trying to avoid idiomatic references. And the four multi-tracked pieces bypass the dubious legacy of saxophone quartets; while Butcher preserves spontaneity by executing the parts in real time, each track of "Bells And Clappers" hews to the same notes, creating densely massed sonorities, effectively treating the horns as one giant instrument instead of a reduced ensemble. And by amplifying the interior action ...

| | eighteenth hour Analog Sessions CD (2007)
Ascendancy
$9.59
There are a thousand adjectives used to describe bands. For Eighteenth Hour there's one...rock band. Hailing from Pennsylvania, Eighteenth Hour has racked up three sold-out CDs and a long list of accolades in the past few years, not to mention a loyal fanbase in Philadelphia, New York and the Lehigh Valley. Eighteenth Hour's reputation as a great live band spread quickly after winning WZZO 95.1FM's 15th Annual Backyard Bands Competition which was judged by representatives from Atlantic, Virgin and Interscope Records. This was the launching pad that lead Eighteenth Hour to regular performances at the best original music venues in PA-NJ-NY including Grape Street Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA), The Bitter End (NYC) and Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA). While the term rock band might sound one-dimensional in today's music industry, taking the time to listen to Eighteenth Hour's wide range of rock songwriting on their new CD “The Analog Sessions” puts that misconception to rest. From the driving rock anthems "I’m Gone" and "Come Back Later" to the intimate ballad "While We’re Waiting" to the blues-rock infused "Sound the Sirens Off" to the Zeppelin-esque single "Songbird", Eighteenth Hour is a band built around the musical strengths of four guys which combine to create a killer experience for any rock music fan.Review in The Morning Call (www.mcall.com) - September 8, 2007:Eighteenth Hour, the Bethlehem-based rock band, has been through several line-ups and a hiatus since they began in 2000, but core members David Zullo (guitar) and Geoff Houser (guitar and vocals), are back rocking it old school. As the title "The Analog Sessions" indicates, their new disc (the band's fourth of original tunes) is a throwback to pre-digital music. The eight songs feature big distorted guitars, bluesy solos and dramatic acoustic ballads. A classic rock influence can be heard, with riffs in the style pioneered by Led Zeppelin - although it should be noted that Houser's vocal style is more restrained than the typical caterwauling associated with '70s rock. He sings in a straight-ahead modern rock style, ...
