Product Description
Trivium stormed onto the metal scene in 2005 with their critically acclaimed debut album Ascendency and continued their dominance with the follow-up The Crusade. Now the band has unleashed their most cohesive and mature effort, Shogun. The band is poised to continue to knock the metal and hard rock community on its ass with what will definitely be hailed as the metal album of the year by critics and fans alike! This Special Edition includes three bonus tracks and a DVD with a 45-minute making of the album documentary as well as 'how to play' clips teaching fans how to play songs from the new album on guitar and bass.
Album Description
There's no such thing as a band born to greatness. To succeed in the world of music there's a whole energy-sapping storm of hard work to plough through. Florida's Trivium has surely earned the major contender status that has been afforded them by the international media. Trivium's sophomore release (and Roadrunner debut) Ascendancy (now certified Gold in the U.K.) made them a hit with discerning music fans everywhere, The album garnered a large number of frothing, ultra-positive reviews throughout the music press around the world, including Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and Kerrang , who declared Ascendancy album of the year. Trivium soon graced the covers of a lot of these magazines and picked up a fistful of coveted awards, including 'Best International Newcomer' at the 2005 Kerrang! Awards ceremony and several Metal Hammer Golden God statuettes. 2006's follow-up, The Crusade was a faithful account of a great young band's swift and bewildering evolution, from up-and-comer to world-beating behemoth, and delivered their first UK Top 10 album. More touring followed - first on a gargantuan Arena tour with their Metal heroes Iron Maiden and then a sold-out UK headlining tour that culminated at London's infamous Hammersmith Apollo. 2008 sees Trivium change it up yet again on 'Shogun', choosing not to record in the familiar environs of their home state of Florida. Instead the band headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Stone Sour). The result is a monolithic album that crystallizes the band's sound and showcases Trivium's finest elements. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy is thrilled with the album, saying, "We made a cohesive, epic metal album that combines all of the ingredients of everything we feel we have ever done 'right' musically, while adding a new direction that the music called for. We had so much fun creating this album and hope our fans feel that energy when they listen." Even Slayer's Kerry King, an undisputed heavy metal god, expressed excitement about touring with the band this fall on the "Unholy Alliance: Chapter 3" European tour. He commented to the UK's Total Guitar magazine, "I'll be at the side of the stage watching them. Great players like that make us want to do better." Looks like the metal community is waiting with baited breath for Shogun.

 If you liked Ascendancy, you should like this. November 25, 2008
Christopher A. Halliwill (Michigan, USA)
Not having ever heard Ember to Inferno, I can only compare this to Ascendancy and The Crusade. In Shogun,Trivium returns to the screams which pulled me in, but does not leave out the harmony and vocalization which made The Crusade a great record. There are a few instances where, within a track, the beat changes oddly, and the album varies oddly from track to track a bit, too. But the content easily rivals that of previous albums while not sounding like the same old music.
I would actually give it 4.5/5 stars, but, alas, I cannot.
 It's Just Not Ascendancy... November 9, 2008
T. Cederbaum (Long Island, NY)
The reason I fell in love with Trivium was the straight up metal verses combined with melodic choruses and amazing guitar solos that we found on Ember to Inferno and perfected on Ascendancy. This style of metal, a genre i dub "chorus metal," was the type that broke me into most of the music I listen to today. That being said, I was sorely disappointed with The Crusade, being another Metallica clone (and don't get me wrong, I love Metallica, but when so many bands try to be them, it bugs me out), and while their latest offering, Shogun, was an earnest attempt to climb back into the genre that I so love them for, Trivium just isn't back there yet. The title track was the only one I actually enjoyed. I think with their next album they might get back to the lofty status to which I held them a few years ago. Until then...
 Decent Metal album October 30, 2008
E. Curth
Not a bad album just a step back to the "Ascendancy" sound which
is okay... but I prefer "The Crusade." I wish Matt Heafy would
be more consistent with his style of singing. I prefer when he
sounds like James Hetfield like on "the Crusade" CD. The music
on this CD is more intense and less commercial. It is the singing
on this that makes the less enjoyable for me which is why I can
only give it 3 stars...
Perfection October 30, 2008
Melissa A. Salinas (Laredo, TX)
I'm speechless - I had the opportunity to meet these guys in Corpus Christi - and they're awesome - down to earth and fun guys. I can honestly say that the music they have created in shogun will blow you away - the riffs, solos, choruses - everything has been put together perfectly...It's by far Trivium's best sounding album ever - it's an in your face sound that simply makes you tap your foot or bang your head. Into the mouth of hell we march with Trivium and their masterpiece - Shogun.
Matt - Corey - Travis - Paolo = the best musicianship ever!
Very good CD October 26, 2008
J. Johnson (FL)
I had purchased "The Crusade" and was only mildly impressed with it. I certainly didn't get a lot of plays out of me. That being said for some reason I was compelled to pick up "Shogun". I'm very happy that I did. Its a great CD and a breath of fresh air in my opinion. If you like good ol' thrash metal this CD should please you.
