Shogun

By far the most mature and complex album that Trivium have created, it far surpasses the adolescent fury and aggression seen on Ascendancy and the nu-thrash of The Crusade. Quite possibly one of the best albums this year, which is an achievement in itself. The integration of the 7-string guitars into the entire album is brilliant, allowing Heafy and Beaulieu to truly rip it up in an near death-metal vein. The progressive elements allowed by the 7-strings also lead for more complex arrangements and the compositions of some of the songs is truly staggering, blending incredible technical skills with the ability to write mind-blowingly catchy riffs of which there are hundreds on this album; folks, this borders extreme metal in many parts yet almost all of the riffs are hummable and unforgettable. The drum work by Travis Smith is exceptional, back to the flying hands and feet last heard properly on Ascendancy and I believe that he adds an impressive and interesting counterpoint to the guitarwork of Heafy and Beaulieu. The only thing I would complain about is the volume of bass on this album, we all know that Paolo is an excellent bassist so why can't we have more of it? 10/10 - a brilliant return to form and a new bar for metal Kirisute Gomen - 10/10 Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis 9.5/10 Down From The Sky 10/10 Into the Mouth Of Hell We March 10/10 Throes of Perdition 10/10 Insurrection 8.5/10 The Calamity 9/10 He Who Spawned the Furies 9.5/10 Of Prometheus and The Crucifix 10/10 Like Callisto to a Star In Heaven 10/10 Shogun 11/10 - one of my favourite songs on any album, a masterpiece Poison, the Knife or the Noose 9/10 Upon the Shores 9.5/10 You need to buy this album, they WILL be the biggest band in the world some day

Shogun

This has to be the album of Trivium's career. They have combined elements from their previous 3 album, Ember To Inferno, Ascendancy and The Crusade. And to think as well, Matt is only 22 and has already released 4 albums, thats incredible. Shogun has a lot of Japanese historical influences and the album as a whole in just their best work yet. This version of the album also has the cover verion of Iron Maiden that Trivium did for a Iron Maiden Tribute album released by Kerrang. Shogun gets 10/10. Top 8 1 - Into The Mouth Of Hell We March 2 - Kiristue Gomen 3 - Down from the Sky 4 - Insurrection 5 - Shogun 6 - Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis 7 - He Who Spawned the Furies 8 - Poison, the Knife or the Noose

The Album of their career!

There is no doubt that Shogun is the ultimate Trivium album. Combining everything they have done in the past, Shogun is full of huge riffs, dark screams, epic vocals and like their previous albums, fantastic guitar solos. As soon as you have heard opener "Kirisute Gomen" you know your in for something special. Every track is brilliant in it's own way. Highlights include single "Down From The Sky" with perhaps the best chorus Trivium have ever wriiten, part-death metal "He Who Spawned The Furies", anthem in the making "Throes Of Perdition" and headbanging "Into The Mouth Of Hell We March" but the nearly 12 minute finale "Shogun" is a masterpiece in itself and really sums up the album. Any Trivium fan would not be disappointed (I wasn't) but I would also recommend this to fans of Machine Head. One last thing, you can't say they sound like Metallica now!!!
