(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 ... Full Descriptionpoised 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.
Recording information: Audiohammer Studio, Sanford, Florida.
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..." Hide Description Crusade Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Don't listen to the negative reviews Everyone who says Trivium blew it with the crusade is musically immature if they really think screaming makes music better. I know all of Triviums music and the crusade is better than ember to inferno by a million years , and pretty much as good/better than ascendancy. Get it right people singing is what people are supposed to do lol Submitted by Bob (FL USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful.

Bait & Switch... For the short review... Would I buy this album again? Probably. It is ok. It has some really good guitar playing, some really good percussion, and a couple of nice heavy rhythm parts. Vocals are ok.
For the long review... If you liked the first two albums, you will be very disappointed with this offering. I feel that the band has “matured” into mainstream mediocrity. Oh, I can see why. The style allows Heafy to showcase his talents a bit more, and hey, mainstream means more money, eh? “Ignition” and “To the Rats” still have a little of the old fire in them, but overall the music is uninspired and quite frankly they have lost the spark that made them unique. “Anthem” and the title track “Crusade” were especially mainstream and made me want to puke. I like metalcore. I like emotional, screaming, syncopated, gut wrenching music that makes you jump up and say “yeah!”. I would have given this album three stars, but I had to deduct a star for the direction the band is taking.

Not Life-Altering, But Not Bad At All I've heard a lot of comparisons with Metallica at their peak, but I gotta say those are exaggerations. This reminds me more of the bands that tried to sound like Metallica at THEIR peak, particularly Act III-era Death Angel. Pretty much straight-up thrash metal, with some light Shadows Fall touches in some of the riffs. I really can't fault the MUSIC at all, because these guys can play their butts off. With thirteen full tracks and pretty much no letup, there are some fillers, but I suppose that's to be expected. The album only really falls short in the vocals and lyrics. I for one am glad to hear Matt Heafy has gotten over the awful, generic, metalcore hollering he was doing in the past (which is what kept me from really being interested in this band). The Hetfield comparisons are fair enough, but I also hear some Chuck Billy as well, and, unfortunately, a lot of the choruses have an anthemic, nu-metal quality to them, like a very heavy Disturbed or something. The lyrics are pretty much crap, from really stupid "crowd-pleaser" themes like "Anthem (We Are the Fire)" and 'The Rising" (although both songs are catchy as hell otherwise), to trite "political" rants that we've heard a million times by a million other bands, to "social commentary" that's way too topical. Heafy deserves some slack, since he's only 19 or 20, but this is stuff a high school kid would write after watching one newscast. A final note: this is NOT hair-band music, and you'd do well to ignore anyone who bandies that hackneyed term around too freely. Submitted by Fizz (Delmarva)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Purchase Crusade CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Alice In Chains Dirt CD (1992)
Crusade album
$7.59 Brutal and hard but exciting and surprisingly melodic, DIRT made Alice In Chains national stars in 1992 after being around the Seattle alternative rock scene for many years. They produce a blindingly together sound, with the bass of Mike Starr able to switch between following the bass drum beat and cloning Jerry Cantrell's guitar note for note, albeit a few octaves lower. They have such polish ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Crusade CD music
$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 to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's ...

| | Trivium Ascendancy CD (2005)
Crusade songs
$14.99 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.

Crusade album
$15.65 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 ...

Crusade CD music
$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 released several hit songs for top Pop and Rock performers in Mongolia, and as a solo artist in his own right. Following his producing and writing success, Chinbaa released two CD's- "White Black White", a piano instrumental CD and "Chinbaa", a pop vocal CD. Both were accepted with national acclaim and each yielded several hits. Chinbaa's highly anticipated ...
