Trivium Information
|
|
'Trivium' is a metalcore band with melodic death metal and thrash metal influences band from Altamonte Springs, Florida. Bands that have inspired their sound include Unearth and Atreyu and to some extent Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, and Metallica. Recently, they won the Kerrang award for best International Newcomer.
Trivium's music includes the traditional "riffing" and screaming of metalcore, but also has impressive instrumental breaks including solos and guitar work more attributed to melodic metal. Also found in their music are slow, epic choruses, with clean singing, a la Avenged Sevenfold (circa 2002-2003).
The band formed in 2000 when Corey Beaulieu, Brent Young and Travis Smith witnessed Matt Heafy perform at a high school talent show, singing The Offspring's Self Esteem. He was immediately asked to join the group.
Trivium's debut with Roadrunner Records, Ascendancy, scanned a 7,054 on the Neilsen SoundScan charts. The album also debuted at #4 on the US HeatSeeker Charts and #151 on the US Billboard Top 200 Charts, which landed Trivium the title of 4th highest new band debut in Roadrunner's history.
