TRIVIUM

Hailing from central Florida, Trivium formed in 2000 and quickly built a buzz around Orlando’s metal community with a blend of metalcore, thrash, and progressive metal flourish. Having secured a contract with the German imprint Life-force, the band issued its debut album, Ember to Inferno, in October 2003 with a lineup that included vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy, drummer Travis Smith, and bassist Brent Young. The debut was well received, and Trivium signed with Roadrunner Records for their next effort.

Ascendancy appeared in March 2005, at which point the band’s roster had shifted to include Heafy, Smith, bassist Paolo Gregoletto, and guitarist Corey Beaulieu. The album was reissued in May of the following year with four addi-tional tracks and a bonus DVD. Trivium then visited the U.K. in June for the 2006 Download Festival, followed by mul-tiple European headlining gigs and a stint with America’s traveling metal/hardcore fest Sounds of the Underground. The tour saw them playing alongside other heavy-hitting bands like As I Lay Dying, GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, and Terror. Crusade appeared that fall, featuring a newfound emphasis on singing (previously, vocalist Matt Heafy had relied on screams and throaty growls). Despite the band’s active defense of Heafy’s vocal approach, Trivium received much criticism for the band’s shift in sound; accordingly, they wasted no time in returning to a scream-filled thrash style with 2008’s Shogun.
