Trivium - What The Dead Men Say Review: Every Song Ranked Worst To Best

5. Bleed Into Me

Despite potentially being one of the more straightforward and less technical tracks on What the Dead Men Say, Bleed Into Me is one of the tightest and biggest songs on the album.

The chorus is the kind of earworm that their peers could only dream about writing and has rarely been seen in mainstream popular metal since the likes of Bullet For My Valentine’s Tears Don’t Fall or Slipknot's Duality.

In recent years the only slight comparisons come from the giant choruses of metalcore bands such as Bury Tomorrow on Black Flame, Parkway Drive on Vice Grip or Architects on Doomsday.

Trivium, however, have always sounded different to metalcore due to their ability to seamlessly blend heaviness and clean vocals. You never see it as ‘light and shade’ but massive choruses naturally embedded in savage metal; their only contemporaries are maybe Slipknot or Avenged who live in very different remits. Regardless, Bleed Into Me is so polished, sleek and excellent.
