Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Throughout this CD, the Florida trio's 2003 lineup - Matt Heafy on lead vocals & guitar, Brent Young on bass, & Travis Smith on drums - fluctuates between metal-core ferocity & something more forgiving. Typically, a Trivium song will go from metal core harshness - suffocating density, sledgehammer cruelty, screaming vocals - to a more melodic style of power metal/fantasy metal. This Japanese edition features 16 tracks including 4 bonus tracks, 'The Storm' (2003 Demo), 'Sworn' (2003 Demo), 'Ember Of Inferno' (Live Video, recorded at Hard Rock Live, September 2003) & 'Pillars Of Serpents' (Live Video, recorded at Hard Rock Live, September 2003). Lifeforce.

The Next Metallica??? Doesnt sound like it to me.......2007-06-07

I first want to start this review off by saying that this band SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE METALLICA!! One day they may be as big as MEtallica, but musically, technically, and stylistically, this band doesnt really resemble Metallica at all, but any way lets get to the album.
With the addition of Ember to Inferno I now have all 3 Trivium albums. This is their first album, and it really shows, not because the songs arent great, but because the sound quality is pretty bad compared to their other albums, and I have to turn my speakers up louder when I listen to it. In my opinion this album may be trivium's best. It is extremely heavy when compared to their most recent album the Crusade. Some of the riffs are brutal, but Trivium uses both guitars to get that harmonizing effect that they are known for, and keeps the riffs intersting. The genre of this band is clearly metalcore for those who are unsure. The riffs in songs like "My Haterd" and "falling to Grey" are clearly punk influenced, but still very metal. The screaming of Matt Heafy is great, and he is also able to get some great clean vocals, which adds a lot to the songs. He is a very talented voicalist, and it shows in some great songs like "If I could collapse the masses", "When all Light dies" and "Blinding TEars will Breeak the Skies".
The guitar playing on the album the only weakness of this album; the soloing, I think is not as good as it would become in later albums. The solos are more wild and crazy metal solos, rather than the technical precision that MAtt and Corey would develop in their next 2 albums.I would also like to mention that the bonus track Demon is awesome and the Decieved from Ascendancy shows the bands development.
This album is almost perfect, other than some sound quality issues, and the not so great soloing, but it is still a great album. I would give it 4 and a half stars, but that is close to 5. If you are not a fan yet, buy this album and see why everyone loves Trivium. If you are a fan, then that is even more of a reason to buy this album.
But just remember this: The Crusade sounds almost nothing like this album, unfortunately, Trivium pulled a Metallica and sold out, well not quite the same way that Metallica did, but they changed their style. This album and Ascendancy are triviums real heavy albums, definitely give this album a listen!

JUST PUT METALLICA, FEAR FACTORY AND MANOWAR IN A BLANDER AND YOU GOT TRIVIUM!!!!!! .......2007-02-11

The grutal-echo voice of Fear Factory, the guitars and drums of Metallica and the medieval sound of Manowar!! That how was made this melodic trash metal band called Trivium!

This band's debut on 2003 is SOO COOL!! I never heard anything like this since In Flames's Whoracle.

P.S: This album took 3 years to makin it! So I would say that this is the band's masterpiece.

Adios.

Cool, but repetitious.......2006-03-07

This is a pretty worthy listen for those into speedy metalcore with fast paced screaming and some melodic breakdowns. Just like your typicial metalcore band, except a little better. Heafy's singing voice is not as whiney as, say, Atreyu. For a debut attempt, they've done a good job.

The problem with this is a recurring flaw found in many albums in the metalcore genre. It's monotonous. It's repetitious. And it lacks creativity to a certain point. The riffs are very fast and catchy. The solos are pretty cool too, and the double bass drumming is a great display of technique, but...it's all the same. The album is almost viewble as one long song, because regardless of the melodic breakdowns, the each song picks up from where the last stopped.

However, with only one major setback to this production, this is definitely worth listening to. It's excellent ear candy, but I recommend listening to it in doses. This is not the album you want in your cd player on the "repeat all" mode while cramming for finals, because it gets repetitious after a while. I don't want to say that, after a good long listen, it's "boring," per se, because it's not. It's just the opposite. Boring would be due to lack of speed and repetition, but this just gets a little annoying after a while.

Hope this was helpful.

Masterpiece.......2006-03-06

There is nothing like Trivium. Nothing can compare. Nothing. Zip. Nada. You just can't get that feel of angst anywhere else in the land of Metal.

This is Trivium's first full length cd, and it's on LifeForce records, not RoadRunner Records. This cd has a distinct flavor to it. This cd seems like it has 3 Parts Thrash, and 1 part metal.

Each song is a masterpiece in itself. Definately check it out if you like Trivium. If you are into 80's and 90's thrash and metal, CHECK THIS OUT! If you are into metal, get it. I can't explain in words how good this cd is! Just check it out!

Damn Good First Album.......2006-10-04

This album rocks! I remember back in the day, a band's first album was their best or close to it (Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Machine Head, Iron Maiden) but lately that seems to be the opposite. Bands seem to get better these days with each album. If that's the case then we are in for a real treat as far as Trivium is concerned. The songs on this album are poundingly heavy but aslo have a feel of maturity in its musicianship. The solos are great (moslty because they are there at all). I was impressed with this album the first time i listened to it and it only got better. Buy this album (Ascendency is better but this one is still F***ing great!)

Excellent Start.......2006-03-29

Personally, I tend to like this Trivium album better. Maybe it's the fact that it was released on a smaller label and it's not as overhyped as "Ascendancy" (don't get me wrong, I like that CD also).

Also, this disc tends to be on the more thrash side than the heavy metal side "Ascendancy" is on. The title track, "Ember To Inferno", might get you into the CD, as it's less of a thrash track and more melodic. Other tracks like "Pillars of Serpents" tend to be on a more early hardcore/metal crossover action. It varied and it stands out well.

If they're any thing that the band may need to improve, it may be the vocals, but if you are a true fan, you'll pass the fact that Matt Heafy was only 17 when he recorded this disc. And that's what close-minded people give s**t to Trivim, sadly. Also, consider the fact that they are very talented for a band under the United States drinking age. Just like Decapitated was when they created "Winds of Creation".

I recommend this.

Good effort. Talented fellas........2006-03-21

I really thoroughly enjoyed this album. I listened to it from top to bottom without feeling the need to skip through tracks, as with about 80% of the cds I listen to.

If you like Ascendancy, check out Ember to Inferno. They're both pretty okay. If you want to be blown away, look for their self-titled demo, as it is unbelievable. A few tracks from the demo made it to this album, most notably my favorite track, "Requiem."

Or, if Trivium sounds too polished for you, check out the album "Fractured" by Capharnaum. It's Matt Heafy's other band, which is more death metal and is by far more brutal than any Trivium song ever could be.

the spark.......2006-02-12

Trivium are one of the most innovative and talented metal bands in recent memory. Combining great riffs with awe-inspiring rhythm and vocals that transfer seamlessly from abrasive roars to nuanced melodicism, Trivium have all the elements needed to make it big in the metal world. I got into Trivium after hearing all the hype about their album "Ascendancy," and to my delight much of the praise heaped upon the disc was justified. Even today, nearly a year after my purchase, it still finds heavy circulation in my stereo. To say the least, I was hooked. I went out and got "Ember to Inferno," as soon as possible, and though it didn't really pack the same punch as its follow-up, it was still a decent release. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough for me, so I pretty much gave up on the band, pressing the "skip" button to no end on the rare occasions when I listened to this CD. Looking back, I cannot voice how stupid I was. I recently revisited "Ember to Inferno," hoping that it had gotten better with time, as is so often the case. In this particular instance, it had not only aged gracefully, but also tastefully and headbangably. Sure, this offering may not have the glossy sheen of "Ascendancy" (and make no mistake, that record was considerably gritty), nor the focus of the band's later stuff, but all of this can be ignored when you zone in on the music. Opening with "Inception, the Bleeding Skies," an acoustic piece that sets the tone nicely, "Ember to Inferno" is another one of those CDs that should be right at the top of any metal fan's priority list. With heavy-hitting numbers such as "Requiem," "To Burn the Eye," "My Hatred," and the title track to its merit, Trivium's first full length release is arguably one of the best in the business. Sure, it may fall short from time to time ("Pillars of Serpents" comes to mind for some reason), but if you dig deep enough you hit paydirt. Truthfully, the first half of the album is rather hit or miss, but once you get to "To Burn the Eye," it's all golden. Especially eye-catching are the epic closer "When All Light Dies" and its acoustic outro "A View of Burning Empires." Charismatically contrasting harsh brutality with catchy melody lines, the songs showcase the style that Trivium would later use to a larger effect. This is the stepping stone, the catalyst, the spark that made Trivium the ass-kicking band they are today, and without it, they simply would not be the same. As a side note, the version of the CD that I possess is labelled the "Extended Edition" and features three bonus tracks: "Blinding Tears Will Break the Skies" (a very well done song that would have fit perfectly on "Ascendancy"), "The Deceived" (a demo and altogether inferior version of the great song featured on the above-named CD), and "Demon" (a heavy yet somewhat forgettable song that starts off good but doesn't really go anywhere).

metal 4 life.......2005-09-13

Trivium is a metal band,consisting of Matt Heafy lead singer and back up guitar, Cory Belue lead guitar, Palo forgive me I don't know his last name bass, and Travis Smith drums.This album is great.I love the heavy riffs, machine gun like beats and offcouse the solo's.Unlike many Metal bands today Trivium uses alot of melodic techniuqe in there music which makes it sound so perfect.This band has soo much talent and these guys are so young the lead singer is only 21 years old.Will see how far these guys go although not the next Metallica they are making waves.I seen them live with Machine Head/Lamb of God/ tour and they absoulutly blew me away with song's like A gun shot to the Head of trepidation, Rain, Pull Harder on your strings of Martyr. I have to give them the credit the deserve.If you like this album pick up Triviums Ascendency.There are a few songs that I absoulutly love on this album.
