8. Never Deciding On One Favourite Album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ITJkcShI0 Ascendancy? Shogun? Ember To Inferno? The Crusade? Never ones to stagnate or not do what they deem appropriate at the time, the creative side of Trivium has led to everything from the potent switch between Ascendancy to The Crusade (ditching screaming vocals along the way) to recruiting
Disturbed's David Draiman to help with Vengeance Falls. Those decisions haven't always sat with certain pockets of fans who want them to continually release material within a specific genre bracket, but for the majority it's lead to each album being more hotly anticipated than the last. From that first breakdown-bounce of In Waves, through the rallying Iron Maiden-esque stomp of Brave This Storm - and recently Silence in the Snow's confident battle-hardened themes, there's something so genuinely refreshing about a band who'll always go with what
they want to do, refusing to be pigeonholed into repeating the past like so many others.
