Why have I never listened to Trivium? Random tab on UG's protab app pulled up Entrance of the Conflagration, and I bought it almost immediately I liked it so much. What else is considered 'core' for Trivium songs?


e; Google is telling me that people don't even think this song is one of their best? Oh boy I am going to enjoy this :dance:

We played with them at some random poo poo-hole fest in Florida in like... 2003? Something like that? All the bands kind of mingled and had a good time, but the dudes from Trivium (who I had never even heard of) were all hanging out near their tour bus being antisocial. We tried to talk to them but they were kinda dicks to us. We had to get on the road so I didn't get a chance to see them play, but that left a bad taste in my mouth that's tainted their image for me :\

But hey, I guess part of becoming successful is acting successful, so more power to them for all they've accomplished.

I've known they were a band for a long time, I just could never be bothered to listen to their music. It doesn't surprise me that they're a bit cold towards people during fests; each band has different people. I tend to try and focus on their music rather than their behavior, although you certainly got the opposite experience. :v:

e; I just started listening to this band, why the hell am I trying to defend their actions?

You're right though, that's pretty rude of them.

Now my interest is piqued; what band do you/did you play for? I would probably read a A/T thread about that.

Speaking of power metal, what are a couple good bands to cut my teeth on for the genre? I've listened to Iced Earth a bit and really like them, but I recently found THIS song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EryDKgGNv-0 by Edguy and holy poo poo this music owns. I think the only other power metal band I really listen to is a wierd Japanese power metal band named Versailles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fUQQCrvblA. They describe themselves as a visual kei band, which is basically the concept of the visuals being as important if not more important than the music; in a nutshell it's characterized by flamboyant costuming, lots of makeup, and androgynous aesthetics. :eng101: I'm pretty sure that every band member in that video is actually male, as wierd as it sounds. I want to expand on my collection of power metal; help me goons!

I don't mind him saying he doesn't appreciate the genres, but trying to say that they have no structure? Pffhahahahahaa what the gently caress he has to be trolling.

I already mentioned I listened to them earlier, but if anyone hasn't listened to Iced Earth, you really should, because they are pretty bitching power/thrash metal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ_EGqAgRSg Part 3 of the Something Wicked This Way Comes trilogy, skip to 1:30 if you're a pussy and can't handle piano intros to metal songs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-GcSC86Tug Angel's Holocaust, Night of the Stormrider edition. Originally this song was on a earlier album, but this version cleans up a lot of their sloppy recording and the screaming in particular is much, MUCH better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy1sTePz73c Stormrider, the song that immediately comes after Angel's. If you pay attention, the beginning of this and the end of Angel's are actually connected with ambient sounds.

Honestly I think another Death Magnetic-style record with more focused, pared-down songs and better production would be pretty solid. Also solos that aren't utterly abysmal, but that's a long shot at this point.

They just need to break Hammet's wah pedal and they're already halfway to a good album.

My mind is blown that there is literally nowhere to buy a digital download of Beyond Creations "The Aura". :psyduck:


Amazon doesn't have it, iTunes doesn't have it, CDBaby doesn't have it, hell, they don't even have an official site to buy it from (although I DID find a merch store that sold a physical copy that I wasn't interested in buying over the internet).

When did Megadeth put out ANOTHER album? I found Super Collider while I was walking in a Walmart and had to buy it. I thought Endgame was their most recent album. Dudes are just song machines.


Their cover of Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat was also pretty good at the back of the disk:

Riot Games made an album that was released by a 'band' of dudes from their videogame. It's pretty nerdy but the instrumentation is better than it has any right to be.

Yeah, that was posted about a few pages back, and I was REALLY surprised by the quality.
If only Jörn Lande's own solo material was as good as this, because god drat that guy has a great voice.

In other news, Machinae Supremacy just announced their new album, which is coming out in late August. I am so loving stoked.

I tried to search forums for a post; curse you Search the Forums and your ineptitude! :argh:

Hey st. Anger is a pretty good album , just not a good Metallica album. :v:



Also it is very weird to read a thread about poo poo Fucker and GRIEFLOSS being discussed completely deadpan.
