The Crusade

Reseña del editor From the opening future-thrash twin-blast of Â"IgnitionÂ" and Â"Detonation,Â" with their anthemic refrains and blizzards of lacerating lead work, The Crusade is clearly a body of work that could raise the bar for rock bands around the world. There’s the staggering, precocious Â"Anthem (We Are The Fire),Â" which blends the scathing thrash riffs of Megadeth with the infectious swagger of Mötley Crüe at their succinct best. The intricate, rumbling bludgeon of Â"Becoming The DragonÂ" has a pummelling, cyclical rhythmic drive and soaring, left-of-centre chorus. The doom-laden, emotion-stuffed Â"And Sadness Will SearÂ", reveals a new, darker, edgier side to Trivium’s otherwise hook-laden chops. The deceptively accessible Â"The RisingÂ" is a sumptuous hymn hewn from the juiciest licks that boasts a phenomenal crowd-rousing chorus... imploring the faithful to ‘Raise your voices with me…and sing this song of unity!’ This collection of gems culminates in the album’s monumental, shape-shifting title track; a nine-minute instrumental monstrosity that twists, turns and torments the listener with rapid-fire tempo shifts, immaculate musicianship and a thrilling sense of adventure. It’s an obscenely brave and ambitious end to a glorious collection of songs that seems destined to cement Trivium’s reputation as the heaviest, sharpest, smartest and hardest working band of their generation. Artista biografía Formed in Orlando, Florida at the dawn of the 21st century, Trivium was soon picked up by small independent label Lifeforce Records, which released their debut album Ember To Inferno in 2003. One track from this album appeared on a magazine compilation CD, which fell into the lap of Roadrunner Records Senior VP of A&R Monte Conner (Slipknot, Sepultura) who immediately heard the potential in the band. It felt like fate because every time I turned on the radio or the TV, there was a Roadrunner band playing. It felt like some kind of omen.Â" In March 2005 the band released Ascendancy; a bold and dynamic statement of intent that confirmed the potency of these young men’s precocious talents and charisma. The album garnered a large number of frothing, ultra-positive reviews throughout the music press around the world, including the NY Times, Stuff Magazine, Revolver, Decibel and Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and Kerrang in the UK, who declared Ascendancy 2005’s album of the year. Trivium soon graced the covers of a lot of these magazines and picked up a fistful of coveted awards in the UK, including ‘Best International Newcomer’ at the 2005 Kerrang! Awards ceremony and several Metal Hammer Golden God statuettes. Suddenly it seemed that the sky was the limit! Â"The UK just rocked, right off the bat,Â" smiles Heafy. Â"It all happened so quickly. The first show we had in Wolverhampton, we were the first of three bands. We took the stage to this huge Trivium chant, something we never experienced before. When we finished our set the whole room cleared out and people were running out to get our signatures. It was an amazing feeling. The next thing we know, we were given the offer to play at Download.Â" Globally renowned, the Download Festival takes place on the hallowed turf at Donington Park - one-time home of the legendary ‘Monsters Of Rock’ festival. Trivium were eager to make their mark in front of such a huge audience... Â"We were booked to play on the third stage, playing to maybe two or three thousand people,Â" recalls Heafy. Â"Then they swapped us to the main stage. We were all really stoked, but I remember that at 10:59am there was no one there at all. 30 seconds after that, 40,000 people came swarming across the hill towards the stage. We were thinking ‘What do we do now?’ The next thing I know we’ve played the biggest show of our lives.Â"
