Trivium brought the heavy music scene to its knees with the brilliance of 2005's ASCENDENCY. Aggressive touring helped them to build a rabid following and honed the band's already fierce chops. The progression of CRUSADE showcases a young group poised to inherit the coveted metal music crown from the very artists that inspired them to play. With the collaboration of co-producer and engineer Jason Suecof, the band pushes their thrashy verse/hooky chorus stylings to even greater melodic heights. Strong vocals, syncopated rhythms, and shredding solos capture lightning in a bottle in the ambitious spirit of a modern-day amalgam of early Metallica and Testament.
