Biography

Orlando, Florida (1999 – present)

Trivium is an American band from Orlando, Florida, formed in 1999. Signed to Roadrunner Records, the band has released five studio albums, eleven singles, and twelve music videos. Their latest album, In Waves was released on August 9, 2011.

Trivium cross multiple heavy metal genres such as , , , , , and . Their style has evolved over the years from their earliest work on Ember to Inferno right through to In Waves. There is a clear thrash influence from Metallica and Machine Head, as well as some early In Flames. Trivium has stated that in general they are influenced by musical groups such as Metallica, Machine Head, and Iron Maiden.

At his Lake Brantley High School talent show, frontman Matt Heafy performed a cover version of “Self Esteem” by The Offspring. Vocalist Brad Lewter noticed Heafy and asked him to try out for his band. The pair went over to drummer Travis Smith’s house where they played Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. Impressed with Heafy’s performance, they accepted him into the band known as Trivium. After several shows at bars and local clubs, Lewter quit the band and Heafy took over his position as vocalist. In early 2003, Trivium went into the recording studio to record its first high-quality demo disc. A copy of the demo was heard by German label Lifeforce, who signed Trivium. The band entered a studio to record its debut album, Ember to Inferno.

    So many people said The Crusade was a big failed. But in my opinion that album is a masterpiece. It's like Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. There is spirits within for every each song but in different type. Trivium take a fire theme and Maiden choose witch thing. Blue is the core of the artwork. Paul Romano and Derek Riggs is my fav artists. So for you elitist, please listen again what is called a concept album. Sorry if there some hurting or wrong words. Thanks for read.

    Well Ember To Inferno is decent, gotta remember Heafy was ridiculously young writing music like that, Ascendancy is great stuff, yeah a little repetitive and angsty but look at the breakdown woe is me craze right now, anyone bashes trivium take a look at that crap. The Crusade should have been cut to 7 or 8 tracks, Roadrunner pushed them off the success of Ascendancy to release another. Shogun is amazing, mature and densely layered. Didn't go over too well with some. In Waves is good but not great imo, a few great tracks and the rest are listenable but nothing too special.

    *Shogun is their best album. The fact that they went backwards after that album is insulting. :p
