Trivium are a Sub-Genre Busting Metal band originating from Florida. Considering where they come from, however, they have surprisingly little Death Metal influence.Lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist and main songwriter Matt Heafy joined in 1999, after impressing then vocalist Brad Lewter with a cover of the Offspring's "Self Esteem" at a high school talent show. The name Trivium had been decided before he arrived. No one in the band really knows its meaning (other than the literal Trivium of Studies) but they've kept it due to Rule of Cool, and Matt later went on record to say that it was something of an allusion to their mix of thrash metal, melodic death metal, and pop-punk.note "Trivium" means something like "crossroad" or "intersection" in Latin.The band debuted in 2003 with Ember to Inferno (a weird early installment), recorded when Heafy was only 17 years old (as mentioned, it shows). The album received little mainstream attention, but it somehow got to Roadrunner, who signed the band, and they got cracking on a second album.The band's second album, Ascendancy, was a major success and was well received by fans, refining and focusing their sound into what was described at the time as a mix of old-school thrash aggression with Metalcore screaming, breakdowns, and Drop-D guitar tuning. It is arguably the beginning of their trend of every album being a New Sound Album; this was solidified with 2006's The Crusade, which almost completely abandoned Metalcore and focused everything on the thrash elements and only previously hinted at Proto-Progressive approach, as well as introducing the use of 7-string guitars, ditching Drop-D and screaming almost entirely in favor of an approach that critics and fans described as either "inspired" by Metallica, or "plagiarised" from Metallica (many of the Broken Base fans who broke off), especially since Matt Heafy sounds quite Hetfield-esque when singing. Critical reception was overall positive, but the album caused a Broken Base, typically along the lines of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! vs. Growing the Beard, especially for Metal fans who still haven't gotten into screaming vocals.While it can still be considered a New Sound Album in its own right, it's best to imagine 2008's Shogun as taking everything from The Crusade and cranking it up to eleven. (Considering what could be said to be the simplicity of concept in Ascendancy then Serial Escalation). The songs were longer, faster, and more technical, all of which could be said about the guitar solos as well; screaming was re-incorporated; the 7-strings were used on at least half of the songs; and even the 8-minute instrumental album closer "The Crusade" from the previous album was taken to its logical extreme on Shogun with its title track, an 11-minute song (with vocals) that's even more progressive than "The Crusade" (though not as technically difficult to perform, which is part of the reason "The Crusade" was an instrumental to begin with, according to Word of God).In Waves was released in 2011 and was more of a return to the style seen in Ascendancy rather than the previous two albums. It was the first album recorded with drummer Nick Augusto, who had replaced Travis Smith. The album saw the departure of the 7-string guitars, opting for the standard 6-strings in Drop-C# tuningnote Drop-D with all strings down a half-step. It was met with generally positive reception, although was criticized for being over-produced and inconsistent.Vengeance Falls, was released on October 15th, 2013. It was also the band's last album with Augusto, who was fired in May 2014. He was later replaced with Mat Madiro in July. Their latest album, Silence in the Snow, was released on October 2, 2015. It is also their only album with Madiro as he was later replaced by Paul Wandtke in December. Wandtke himself lasted almost exactly a year and was let go of around the very end of 2016; Alex Bent is his replacement.Discography: Ember to Inferno (2003) Ascendancy (2005) The Crusade (2006) Shogun (2008) In Waves (2011) Vengeance Falls (2013) Silence in the Snow (2015) The Sin and the Sentence (2017) What the Dead Men Say (2020) In the Court of the Dragon (2021)Members:Current: Matt Heafy: lead vocals, rhythm guitar (1999-present), lead guitar, backing vocals (1999-2001) Corey Beaulieu: lead guitar, backing vocals (2003-present) Paolo Gregoletto: bass, backing vocals (2004-present) Alex Bent: drums (2017-present)Former: Travis Smith: drums (1999-2009) Brent Young: rhythm guitar (2000-2001), bass, backing vocals (2001-2004) (died 2020) Brad Lewter: lead vocals, bass (1999-2000) Nick Augusto: drums (2010-2014) Mat Madiro: drums (2014-2015) Paul Wandtke: drums (2015-2016) | |

New Sound Album | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Most of their albums, to an extent: Ember To Inferno/Ascendancy: Metalcore with a slight thrash influence. The Crusade: More straightforward thrash. Guitarists Heafy and Corey Beaulieu have said their favorite guitar album is Rust In Peace by Megadeth, and many thought they were outright plagiaristic of second-era Metallica. Shogun: A mix of their previous styles, with an added progressive edge and more overt death metal elements than had been typical for them up to that point (best exemplified with "Kirisute Gomen" and "He Who Spawned the Furies"). In Waves: A return to their Ascendancy-era sound, with lower guitar tunings and slightly more emphasis on the thrash elements as opposed to the metalcore (ie more galloping triplets, less breakdowns). According to the band, they think the last two albums were too show-off-y, which is why they're returning to their roots. Vengeance Falls goes back to a sound somewhere between Ascendancy and The Crusade and throws in a whole lot of modern rock elements. A few songs (most noticeably "Brave This Storm" and "To Believe") also have some influence from Disturbed thanks to David Draiman producing the album. Silence in the Snow is largely a full jump to modern rock with a few trappings of their older material peeking out here and there. The Sin and the Sentence is basically Ascendancy with more clean vocals and far busier and more technical drumming. In the Court of the Dragon brings back the progressive elements from Shogun, with numerous songs with non-standard structures and numerous tempo changes, as well as the death metal elements and also introduces numerous power metal elements. | |

Musical Nod: "IX" is a rearranged version of the opening riffs of a song called "Shroud Of Chaos" that Matt Heafy had composed for First-Person Shooter streamer Shroud. Its immediate followup, "What The Dead Men Say", also contains portions of the riffs as part of the song. | |

Progressive Metal: They have flirted with this here and there over the years, particularly on Shogun ("Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis" being a shining example), and their Alex Bent-era material has moved further towards this with each album, culminating in the overtly prog-inspired In the Court of the Dragon. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Ember To Inferno. Specifically, the use of dissonance and Uncommon Time makes it sound especially weird, more akin to Deathcore than the band's signature Metallica-meets-Killswitch Engage Thrash/Metalcore sound they're known for these days. | |

Gratuitous Japanese | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_5558641 | comment |
Gratuitous Japanese: "Kirisute Gomen". The title originally meant "Authorization to cut and leave," meaning that Samurai had the right to strike down a member of the lower class who was compromising the Samurai's honor. A more literal translation often provided in modern times is "I apologize in advance for striking you down." The version offered By Heafy Himself was "I apologize, but I must remove your head.". The songs lyrics feature not only the japanese phrase itself as a sort of hook, but one of the Metal Screams is "I'LL TAKE THEIR FUCKING HEAD!" A visual rather than verbal example on the cover of Shogun: the title is written in kanji (将軍) rather than in English. | |

Audience Participation Song: "A Gunshot To The Head of Trepidation": HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! "Dusk Dismantled", where Heafy requires the audience to say those two words. Also, the single off Vengeance Falls "Strife". "Anthem (We Are The Fire)" from The Crusade is a good example of this because of its Metallica-esque "WHOA-OH, WHOA-OH" parts and the titular "We are the fire!" | |

| Trivium (Music) / int_a6254a7a | comment |
Loudness War: Their first six albums had this problem by being heavily brickwalled and having noticeable clipping issues. However, 'Silence In The Snow' completely averts this by having an expanded dynamic range (around a DR 10) with almost no clipping to be found, a rarity for mainstream modern metal band. | |

Ascended Extra: Paolo Gregoletto was a kid whose band was in the same studio that Trivium was doing preproduction for Ascendancy at and was recruited by Jason Suecof to track bass on the album as a session member and do the touring (Word of God is that he originally had no intention of staying for the long haul and just wanted to put in a year or two to make a name for himself and gain some connections, then move on to bigger things), but he wound up settling in and eventually became Matt's second-in-command. | |

In Waves: A return to their Ascendancy-era sound, with lower guitar tunings and slightly more emphasis on the thrash elements as opposed to the metalcore (ie more galloping triplets, less breakdowns). According to the band, they think the last two albums were too show-off-y, which is why they're returning to their roots. | |

The version offered By Heafy Himself was "I apologize, but I must remove your head.". The songs lyrics feature not only the japanese phrase itself as a sort of hook, but one of the Metal Screams is "I'LL TAKE THEIR FUCKING HEAD!" | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Vengeance Falls cuts down on the Harsh Vocals and features several songs with a more Hard Rock sound. Silence in the Snow goes even further, consisting solely of clean singing and eliminating all metalcore influences in favor of a classic Heavy Metal sound. According to them, this was done because Matt had blown his voice out after Vengeance Falls and wanted to rest it. | |

Cover Version: "Master of Puppets", "Iron Maiden", "Slave New World", "Damnit", "Losing My Religion" and "Skulls...We Are 138". The band also encourages fans to post covers of their songs to Youtube. There's even a video where they watch some, and Matt compliments someone for being able to understand his "jumbled yelling". | |

Teen Genius | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_d280a296 | comment |
Teen Genius: Matt Heafy was in his mid-teens when he joined the band and was also playing shows with Mindscar here and there around the same time, was only 17 when he tracked and released Ember to Inferno (as well as when he sang for Capharnaum, no mean feat given their extremely complex sound), and was 18 when he tracked Ascendancy (and turned 19 shortly before it was released), while Paolo was days away from turning 19 when he tracked Ascendancy and didn't turn 20 until well into its touring cycle. Alex Bent was also extremely young when he got his start, as he was playing in the Modesto Junior College Jazz Band at fifteen, joined Hatriot at sixteen, and was barely out of high school when he joined Arkaik in 2011. | |

Self-Backing Vocalist | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_e6dea5bf | comment |
Self-Backing Vocalist: Matt Heafy in the studio. Live, bassist Paolo Gregoletto covers backing singing, and co-guitarist Corey Beaulieu covers most screaming if a song is mostly singing. Wordof God says Matt has a hard time adjusting between the two mid-song, though he does on occasion (several songs off In Waves as well as Becoming The Dragon). | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer: Corey (technician) versus Matt (performer). While both are very capable musicians, Corey had formal lessons in his formative years and knows at least some theory, and he is a cleaner, more refined shredder who tends to write the more difficult and technical material. Matt, on the other hand, was entirely self-taught, did not take lessons until well into his career, and can barely read music and does not use formal notation when writing, and he is typically the rawer and more aggressive lead player with more straightforward writing contributions. | |

Soprano and Gravel | |
| Trivium (Music) / int_f1dcc3f | comment |
Soprano and Gravel: Heafy's vocals alternate between a Metal Scream and Pop Punk-esque singing. The Crusade ditched this in favor of a raspy singing style that sounds a lot like James Hetfield. Shogun blended all three voices together, while subsequent works eliminated the Hetfield voice in favor of the screamed-verse-sung-chorus format. | |
