Trivium and Avenged Sevenfold

Alright, its those time where im comparing two bands which are soon to be rock gods of this era. Well, im a fan of this two heavy metal band since they debut their very first single, both of these band have their very special identity, different way of showing their love for rock.

These two heavy thrash metal band had been through alot of shit to really earn their way up to big fame, their flawless never-ending work on what they do best, their creativity, and their way to rock out. I know the people around us are often talking bout legends and their old super mega hit songs, and wont accept any new stuff from new bands ; but which its true, needless to say, those legends and their super hit songs will never be vanish from the people, but isnt it time to move on and to search for new material? are we suppose to live in the past?? Not for me, no offence, i do love what those legends did to their never-to-be-forgotten music. However, I often get into conversation like these, let me put in to a scene, where one group are talking bout Metallica, then i would join in and to discuss with them, then i would bring in new cool bands that is potentially be the next baton receiver of Metallica, but would end up asking me, whos that band?? never heard of them, are they any good? they would doubt it, but not untill i let them listen to some of the new materials from new bands, only, they would agree to what i've meant earlier.

Okay, lets get into these two bands, for the first band i will be introducing TRIVIUM then AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

Trivium

They are a heavy thrash metal band from Florida which formed on 2000.

Travis Smith

For their newest cd, THE CRUSADE which contain 13 tracks of obscenely brave and ambitious to a glorious collection of thrash metal. Its the heaviest, sharpest, and head banging. THE CRUSADE is one of a hell ride, like most of metal cd's, it starts off slow, but no worries as u go on, their music will get more and more hard hitting songs, so dont get fooled by the name of the band, for this is surely one not to disapoint. These songs from THE CRUSADE, range anything in metal, from cool guitar harmonizing solo's, to shred and sweep picking. For those who like fast pace, in your face and power drums, heavy riffs, grand intro, super guitar and bass solo's, this is the cd you should grab without any further hesitation. Listen to track #1 (IGNITION), #2 (DETONATION) , #3 (ENTRANCE OF THE CONFLAGRATION),and their super heart pumping head banging #4 (ANTHEM-WE ARE THE FIRE) , it would blow up your mind at the very moment u listen to these four tracks, for the other tracks in the cd, its all worth every single second u spend on listening to it. My impression on this album, easily best from Trivium, i dont think any other metalcore/thrash band are even up to their standard.

As musicians, the members of Avenged Sevenfold are definite virtuosos in a time when being accomplished artists seemingly means so little. They are inquisitive and never fully satisfied with their own work. They seek to grow and improve every day, regardless of the obstacles or costs involved.They are a rock band. They are rock stars. They are Avenged Sevenfold. In their new self tittle album AVENGED SEVENFOLD, is proof that they are here to stay in that they have delivered an album that has definitely seen the band progress from City of Evil’s heights. It is difficult to say how well this offering shall be received by the mainstream, but expectations should be high, not because this album is more radio friendly, but because it should appeal to a wider audience than City of Evil did. If one track were to be picked out as a microcosm of the album, it would most certainly have to be A Little Piece of Heaven, an eight-minute opus including all of the best parts of the album. Avenged Sevenfold’s existing fan base should be satisfied with this attempt, although one drawback is that there are only ten songs to listen to, not counting one or two bonus tracks which I hear are of old material anyway.

Well, overall, i love both Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium, it would be a lost if a rocker like you missed out their albums, i would buy another copy if some ass stole mine, really, i will....

When to listen to their music?

Best when,

• thrashing out your room ! !


• need some head banging moment


• when you need to release some anger


• on the go


• need some inspiration

And so this would come to the end, im signing off now, FOR THOSE WHO ABOUT TO ROCK, I SHALL SALUTE YOU ! !
