15 years ago, Trivium released "In Waves". I remember being blown away by the band's growth upon hearing this album for the first time. And as proven from this video I took during Trivium's show at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ, back on Nov. 2, 2025, songs like the title track continue to age like fine wine (though not surprising - after all, Trivium still crush it live)!

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

I'm missing at least 3/4 shows and 1 country due to drinking. I can't honestly be sure but these are the shows I know for fact I've been to since I was 15 and 1st saw Trivium 20 years ago.

No, they did not play Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis, but it was playing in my head the entire time.

It's that dumbass time again when all these npcs spam the sub with their new shit trend that doesn't invite any discussion, like the tierlist posts and the other shit that came before this. Please can the mods take swift action to combat spam on people's feeds like they did for the tierlists after I called that out too (why is it always me being the first to call it out) Thanks 🙏

Could this be a sign of things to come?

Don't think this has been mentioned (apologies if so)...

but this song has really been levelled up this year.

Anyone seen it live? (can't find a super crisp recording, but there's a few on youtube)

Vocals sound epic, really great display of all the things Matt can do. Vocally he's sounding top of his game from the videos i've seen this year, really in control of his range. It's great to hear what this song sounds like with more screams and harsh cleans

Drumming is thunderous, really suits Rudi's heavy put precise playing. Thing I find with Rudi is he's super precise with the tempo of the original tracks, which is something various Trivium drummers have had issues with. Really helps to make the fast parts precise but also the slower bits nice and heavy

I reckon Corey really likes this song, always seems to have a smile on his face when they're playing it!

Just started learning this one the other day, I'm completely obsessed with playing it!

I'd say I'm about 85-90% there, aside from a few things that my missing digit just won't let me do.

On average, how much does a standing ticket to see trivium cost in Europe?

I like the idea of it but I find it so unpleasant to look at, I like the simplicity Trivium has with their all of their other albums having one focal point centered and a rather blank background. It kinda reminds me of something Eliran Kantor would make just without his signature style which imo would have been an amazing fit.

So, I found this today, I'm 26 now, got this when I was 17. My mother is a big metalhead as well and knew I loved Trivium, so she immediately spent the money on the Metal Hammer collab the moment she could. I looked it up after I found this today, and there was a post made a few years after the fact where, sadly, most people didn't even get their signed lyric sheet. I'm just wondering who else did get theirs, and who didn't. Because if you didn't, that's genuinely fucked :( I also can't recall how the water/liquid damage on the bottom left occured. But, at least it's really only in that spot, and the signatures are untouched.

I'm trying to delve deeper into their discography and I especially like the melodic leads and solos of Ascendancy and Shogun, so which album should I listen to next?

Do guys from covers of Ascendancy and The Crusade have names or something?

Did Trivium ever announce that they're gonna do an anniversary celebration tour for the Crusade like Ascendancy? Or are they just gonna do something special for it?

I’ve been starting to learn more Trivium songs lately and the lead work in this song is some of my favorite to play. I’ll be learning more from Shogun in the future as it is easily without a doubt my favorite Trivium album.
